Choosing a Name...
 

Please tell me some/all of you had a very hard time naming your yorkies as well! I have been planning to get a yorkie for months and making a long list of names, but as soon as I found my baby I knew a lot of the names didn't fit her. Still, it is so hard narrowing the rest down! I have been asking family and friends for help but that kind of makes it worse because most of them have chosen names that I wasn't leaning towards. :confused:

When I came home from meeting my puppy and opened the pics on my computer "Mika" popped into my head and I thought that had to be a sign that that was just her name. But lately I'm leaning towards Bailey. A couple other names that I like and that family and friends also like are Coco and Zoey. Also lots of people want me to name her Roxy, which was a top name on my list before I met her. I still like it, especially because my cat's name is Rory and I think those names are cute together, but I'm not liking it as much as Bailey.

So I guess I want either your opinions on these specific names, or your opinions on how to know which name is right! Go with your first instinct? The one that makes you smile? The one others like? Or should I wait until I get her and see what she responds to? The breeder told me to let her know if I pick a name so they can start calling her that. So I've been driving myself crazy since Monday (when I met the puppy/put a deposit) trying to choose her name!

One more question: For those of you who chose your puppy before you got to bring them home, did anyone decide on a name and then end up changing your mind once you had the puppy? :animal-pa

i chose Layla before i brought her home and named her at 2 weeks so the breeder could start calling her by name- so even though i didn't want to change it after she came home it would have been hard as she had been called it for a long time!

I like Bailey and i like Zoey too :D

Naming them can be hard !! It was almost as hard as choosing my kids names :) They are all cute but I like Zoey and Mika the best. Your first instinct is usually the best. Don't chose a name just because everyone else seems to like it best . It's your puppy!! You need to love the name. When I was pregnant I would use my sons names all the time just to see how it sounds and to see if I would get tired of saying Wolfgang ( I did :p) so maybe just try saying it alot and see which one sticks.

I really love the name mika its so cute and unique than other names. There is so many Baileys and Roxys i think. Mika is so pretty!:D MIKA!

of you can also play around with the name too like Mikai. That sounds pretty too. Hope you find a suitable name for your pretty baby!

I like Mika the best, very pretty! :)

Thanks for the responses! Since I don't have any kids yet I think it is basically like naming my first baby!

Maybe I should wait until I get her home.

They're calling her "Star" now though and I don't like that, so I don't want her to think that's her name!

I hoped making these would help me pick which was her name...but not so much. It made me like all the names more. :rolleyes:

Aww , she is adorable and they all seem to fit her. ( I know , I'm no help at all ) but I still like Mika or Zoey. Since your cat is Rory how about Lorelai ...sorry to much Gilmore Girls I guess. :p

Haha, I kind of did name my cat after Gilmore Girls. Except we always named all of my mom's cats/kittens (she used to breed persians) Disney names. So I made her real name Aurora and called her Rory for short. :)

MIKA MIKA MIKA :number1ri

I like Mika or Zoey. She is adorable. Congratulations!!!!

Mika is what I had picked out for mine, then changed it to Nakisha beings she didn't fit Mika, But I like Bailey better and she (your baby) looks like a Bailey, But I like differant names. That way when you are somewhere and call her your not going to get 4 others with the same name.
Good luck and she sure is a cutie.

Mika is a nice name. We waited 10 days to name our Crumb. The breeder was calling him Chip. We played with all sorts of names to find one that would stick. Crumb stuck a bit, after we were calling him Tidbit, but engraving his name tag at PetSmart synched it, then it was really his name. Take your time, the pup won't suffer any.

I meant to say she is your baby looks like a Bailey
