We named our first yorkie Chachi because we liked that name. When we were picking him up the Breeder called one of her dogs and its name was Jewels. That name must have stuck with my daughter beacuse when we picked up our female a month later she wanted to name her Jewels so we did.

I had the hardest time finding a name for my little man, so he was "little man" for about two weeks after I got him, but eventually I realized he had small man syndrom, so I named him Zeus, the God of all dogs!

We got Rowdy for my husband who has several chronic illnesses and had to retire unexpectedly. He was home all day and very lonely (I work) so we decided to get Rowdy - well, an unnamed version of Rowdy. Anyway, he was such a tiny little guy when we got him and my husband suggested, Skeeter, Scooter, and something else I can't remember. Anyway, I held out because it just didn't seem like the names fit. My hubby had to go into the hospital and one day a nurse was helping him walk in the hall. He had all manner of tubes, IV pole, and whatnot. It took her a while to get everything organized so that she could manage the tubes, poles, etc, and my hubby could walk behind her. When she got everything ready to go she turned to him and said, "Come on Rowdy, let's go." He and I just looked at each other, smiled and we said almost simultaneously, "Rowdy! that's it" Ever since that day, our little guy has been Rowdy!

A really funny coincidence is that when we got Rowdy's registration papers and pedigree, one of his grandfathers was also named Rowdy. We were totally amazed!!!
