Okay...so knowing nothing about their registered names...when I submit the paperwork...I put down Sally Lynn X (our last name)...receive the papers back. And there is an impressive list of names on her pedigree -
Winchester whatever of so and so farms...
So and so's Colt 45...of whatever...
So on and so on....

All these long and fancy names....and smack dab after those...
Sally Lynn.

Do you guys like Sawyer?? Or Huckleberry....my husband wrinkles his nose anytime I bring this name up. LOL! I don't know....I like names that come across as "big" but a little goofy (if that makes sense). For example, our cat that is somewhat ditsy is named, Beauregard. I think it is hilarious that such a silly/funny boy has a more sophisticated name. I think, in the end, we will probably go with Hercules because my husband really likes it and I am stumped so maybe I will just let him decide.

Melvin?? It came to me today and I love it for a Yorkie! its such a little dorky name hehe Mel for short... Good Luck picking a name! I actually would have had a harder time picking girls name. I have 2 boys their names are Dexter and Fletcher... I also had a little boy named Stuart!

I had a hard time naming Tucker too. I went through about eight names before one stuck. If he would have been a girl, it would have been Piper hands down. I think it's hard to name a yorkie boy because they are so cute and little. It's easy to come up with a cute and little girl's name but not so much for a boy. Like if I had chosen a girl pitt bull it would have been hard to come up with a girl's name, ya know?

First advice...don't ask husbands. Mine wishes we'd named Reese...U Boat. because Reese twirls himself into a U when he's excited. Now you know WHY we don't ask his name suggestions....3 years old have better names. Like Animal Zoo.

I like Sawyer. I also like the name Norman...don't ask why...it just strikes me as a funny name for a yorkie. Lennox...that's cute....no one would expect a yorkie to be named after a prize fighter.

Naming him after a famous boxer is a cute idea! Maybe I will see what other boxer names that I can come up with.

Right before we got our little boy I was at the movies with Dh and a trailer came on with the new Sylvester Stallone movie. We then looked at each other started laughing and said Rambo it is. I actually like it .

That is the best way to come up with a name...one that just pops out to both of you. That's how we named our Harley. We both made a list and had no idea what was on the other one's. We both wrote Harley down so that was that.

I don't know WHERE we came up with this, but one day Andrew and I said.. "Wouldn't it be cute if we got a Yorkie and his name was Franklin?"

...and Franklin it was. I also love "big people" names. I think if we got another one I'd have a HORRIBLE time trying to figure out a name. Fortunately, I have a year or so. I know if we get a girl next, we're going to name her Eleanor. (Get it!? )

Andrew is a really big politics buff so he likes the idea of naming all of our dogs after past presidents. I don't mind as long as he doesn't get to name my baby girls. Maybe you could do something like that?

Too cute...Franklin and Eleanor. My husband did mention connecting our dog's names in some way. We have a Harley but I really didn't want to name a puppy Davidson.

I have a Springer named Tucker and my new Yorkie baby girl is going to be Piper.

I had the opposite problem. It was really hard for me to decide on a girl's name. I had lots of ideas for boys.

Re: Animal Zoo, what about Zoom or Zoomer (Bob the Builder's snowmobile). If I had gotten a boy it would've been McQueen, for Lightning McQueen. My son's favorite movie is Cars.

Do you have a favorite movie, band, food, etc?
