What a great read to know how you all got the name for your cuties
We were told that since yorkies are small dogs with great personalities they were often named after great humans; Cleopatra, Caesar etc.
So we thought about it and Kali was our first and she was a killer - we were convinced she saw herself as very dangerous.
Therefore we agreed on giving her the only name that fit her personality: Kali. Kali is the name of the queen of all demons! And yes there is also a hindu god called Kali

I found the name so when we got no. 2 it was my husbands time to find a name. He loves the sea, so he named her after the greatest element of all: Mare means sea in latin.
And of course she is black as night and therefore a night
mare
And of course she loves to sleep on my chest:

We discussed calling them Reagan and Merrin (The Exorcist)but decided it was too corny. We also had Pain and Suffering as options, but decided those were not subtle enough and people might be offended.
I am pretty happy with their names
