I love hearing how everyone's pups' name came to be. There are a lot of rehomes! More than I realized.
Well bf named Uni. I had no idea what to name her, and he came up with Uni bc I love to eat uni the sushi (sea urchin), and of course the name had to be either food or alcohol! I saw another Uni dog from Japan on Youtube, and his/her dog companion is Toro (fatty tuna). I love that (if we ever get another one we need to name, that was on the list), but I hear that you shouldn't get a dog name that sounds too much like "no". Makes sense. Then I thought of Unagi (freshwater eel), but I tend to like dog names with just two syllables. But Uni fits her well, it's unique and she did look like a little black spiky ball when we first got her. But people (usually old people) can't say it, and will call her Winnie, Weenie, Looney, Booney, Goonie, pretty much everything other than "oo-nee". Then usually I will spell it out U-N-I, and then they say, Oh! You-nee!
I had to name Scrappy, bc he didn't have a name, since he was picked up a street dog. He was just SO tiny when I got him, but he survived being on the streets AND seemed like he had a respiratory infection when I got him, but he was strong. So at first I named him Scraps after the bone dog in Corpse Bride, but the eventually changed to Scrappy, after his personality came out and he was more like Scrappy Doo. Actually he was EXACTLY like Scrappy Doo. But for some reason I ended up giving him this ridiculous long "formal" name. Sometimes I liked to pretend he was this old British man, all uppity and rich, so he became Lord Scrappington Montgomery McLimpybottom. He walked with a bad limp in case you were wondering about that. No idea where I got the Montgomery from.

Why don't you tell them Kaji's FULL name? LOL
