Names & Why

[babi1542]

I named Pebbles because when I was a little girl a very long time ago, I used to love watching the Flintstones. Gaby already came with his name as the breeder had named him. I really wanted to call him Bam Bam.

I love these stories!!!!!

I spent quite awhile on websites trying to come up with a good name. I was going to name her Mackenzie, after a girl at Rice who died in a car crash.. She had a scholarship dedicated in her name and I won it, so I thought it would be a good one...

But I knew I had to keep it short, and that I don't call ANY of our animals by their acutal names... Indy=Inny, Libby=Libbers, Charlie the cat=chucky... so I wanted something cute that I could play around with. The breeeder told us that she would come to "honey", so we wanted an "EE" sound at the end of her name. I liked Roxy because it had a little kick to it. She's the alpha female, so it fits perfectly.

Although she barely gets called "Roxy". It's either Rox, Roxer, or Roxy Dox!!!!

My yorkies name is chloe, and my old roomate had a beautiful persian cat named chloe and I just loved the name. My chihuahuas name is Tinkerbell and for some reason I always loved that name for a dog. Even before it became popular. I am the type of person who will have my dogs names picked out like months before I ever get the dog. I have had Tink for a 1 1/2 years now and I did not even know or care about Paris Hiltons dog at the time and now it kinda sucks because everyone thinks my website is named after her dog

We went to get a boy. We had a name picked out and everything. We were gonig to name him Emmitt, after the great Emmitt Smith. But we got a girl and was at a complete lost for a name. We took her to the groomers within the first hour of having her and the girl that groomed her was named Katia so we just gave her that name.

It's so interesting to see the origin of everyone's babie's names!

At first, I wanted to name Fred "Tyson" because I love that name but my boyfriend insisted to name him Fred because he's a game fanatic and that's his nickname he uses to play all of his games. He's used that nickname for years and he loves it. Plus, when I thought about Fred, I thought about Little Ricky's dog named Fred from I Love Lucy! It's such a cute and unique name.

I liked the name Jack( Ok, I will tell you why because I liked the character Jacks on General Hospital) . It seems easier for me to name boys. Mandy, I picked because she had the name Tianna when I got her and my sister-in-law that told me about YT and posts on YT has a Morkie.Her name is Tia. and since we spend quite a bit of time together playing with our pups I figured I would change it to Mandy. It was a bit difficult at first. But she looks like a Mandy to me.

And the third one is called Any because her full name is Sweet Magic´s Always On My Mind( she was called like this because her mother died one day after her birth), so we took the A from Always the n from On and the y from My.

Wow Simmy I just saw your post my Parents are from Bavaria. Wow this is cool I was the first generation born here in the U.S. My parents and brother were born there.

Hmmm...How did Sammi get her name...

When I went to look at the puppies I had 2 names in mind for a girl, Bianca and Bailey and 2 for a boy Milo and Sam...

So Ivan took her (Sammi) out of her pen...and put her one the floor she didnt wanna do anything but go back in and finish her food So I picked her up looked right in her face and said "Excuse me Sammi, is that anyway to treat your new mommy" and that was it...I dont know where the name came from it just came out...Maybe because I had the name Sam in mind when I was going there...Who knows...But I love her name and when I am angry at her or she does something bad I call her Samantha Jean (which is her full registered name)

"Mia", the youngest yorkie in our family, was named after her mother who is also Mia.
My 9 year old yorkie is named "Lizzy". I got that from our favorite movie "Legends of The Fall". The girl on there was named Elizabeth, but Brad Pitt called her Lizzy.
"Cutter" was one of those names that just popped in my head. Kinda an odd name for a little yorkie, sounds more like it should be a name for a dog that works cattle or something, lol, but he is a bit of a cut-up, so I guess it works.
I named my Boxer "Beau" It just sounded like a name fitting for a handsome dog with a masculine looking jaw, and dark eyes who walks with a strut and looks ever so regal while doing so.

This is kind of funny, but I named one of my puppies (just a litter name) Steven....after my brother. When we were kids, he was a Mama's sorta boy. He'd sometimes pick like crazy then when one of us went after him he'd run yelling "I'm telling Mommmmmmmmmmmm!". Little Steven (or Stevie) does the SAME THING! He loves to be loved, the first to want to be picked up, even if I have them all outside, and if he gets himself into trouble with his littermates, he comes running to me yelling "I'm telling Mommmmmmmmmm!"

It is funny how you can pick a name before you even get your pet, but when you do get them, sometimes they puppy whisper to you what their real name is.

When I was 12 years old, my bestfriend's sister's nickname was Tia. I always thought it was so pretty and named my first female Yorkie Tiah (well, that is her nickname also, her real name is Tea Leaf). The name Tea Leaf came from a book I read about a Hawaiian man who loved his wife dearly and his pet name for her was "Tea Leaf" because he thought she was very beautiful and delicate. That is how I feel about my Tea Leaf.

Kim ~ I LOVE that movie too. We just named our son Tristan. From the moment I saw that movie I said if I was ever blessed with a son his name would be Tristan...fits him to a tee. Just wanted to share that with you, from one Legends of the Fall movie lover to another

Ok I got my name for my chihuahua mix Brownie just because she was brown when she was a pup, but now she is totally blonde so now I say it still fits her cause she is so sweet like brownies. Thats how she got her name, Princess well the breeder had her named that, I wanted to name her Emma Rose but the hubby said keep Princess cause she was going to be our baby so I did but I added to it with the name I liked so her reg name is Princess Emma Rose. Well we just got another pup a few days ago and had no idea what to name him till I told my husband he was so fluffy you couldnt see his little nubby tail and looked like a little bear cub, so I said what about Koda the little bear cub from Disneys Brother Bear so his reg name is Koda's Bear Hugs. He is a little snuggly and always up around my neck so I thought hugs fit. Thats how they got there names. I also have 2 cats named Snuggle and Snowflake. Snuggle just cause she loves to snuggle and Snowflake because she is or should I say was white as a kitten now she is a seal point with blue eyes so pretty.. So there is our story.
