Hey everybody - I am new here and I have enjoyed all the stories of how your Yorkie names came to be.
I live in England UK and I had my Yorkie on Christmas Eve 2004 as a present. Originally, I had picked out a name for her as well as toys and food bowls, bedding just as any expectant new Yorkie owner does (or is that just me??) anyway, I originally named her Tiffany and it has that name on her pedigree documents. About 2 weeks after I had her, I was in our local Pets At Home store and this guy who told me that he was a Yorkie breeder told me that Tiffany was, in fact a boy - shock horror - but I thought that it was destiny that I picked that puppy - so regardless, I loved 'him' just as much and so I was thinking of a name when I saw some cookies on a advertisement so the name Cookie came to be. I had a slight doubt of this guy's judgement, and as Cookie or Cooks as I call her, was the smallest of the litter, it was difficult for me to tell what sex she or he was. I called her Cookie for weeks and then I went to the breeder as I promised I would take Cooks to visit her once a month and I relayed my confusion and Mirriam (breeder) assured me that Cooks was, in fact a girl - so I am glad I picked a 'neutral' name. BTW she still answers to Tiffany, poor baby - she has two dog tags on her collar bearing both names.
