| Ours all have multiple names too. There is no gender discrimination...the boys come running when I say 'who's my good girl' and vice versa. The widget(wee midget) will stop dead, turn and bolt straight for you if you meow like a cat. When I call one I usually get at least 5 and I stand there saying, "Is your name Echo too?". Everyone thinks their name is who'smybaby. |

Mommie's baby is a cute name!!! I am very happy to have this posting up because I was curious about that as well when we get our Yorkies and how we are going to train them. I read somewhere that you have to be careful about when you use there name in coversation if that is the name you are going to train them with. When you say there name while on the phone or talking to someone, they will look to you for instruction but when they see you are not acknowledging them, they learn to ignore you when you do say their name for training because it doesn't mean that you are neccessarily talking to them. Anyone else ever heard of that rule??? Are we to call them by the full name during training and nickname other times? | |

| I'm a little concerned about this too because we are going to adopt a little almost 3 yr. old yorkie and I really don't care for her name. I was hoping to change it but I don't want to do it if it's going to confuse her or upset her. Has anybody had any experience with this? Do you think it would be unkind to try to change it? |

| Yeah well this is how my whole naming process started. We couldn't name Baby, so we just saying " come here Baby..." and then I decided it should be her name. So many people told me i couldn't name her baby and I just told them to watch me. So i don't really have a problem calling her anything but Baby..however I think my boyfriend gets confused sometimes...lol |

| Loki has tons of nicknames and responds to most of them: Monster (He's really not but we started calling him that and it stuck!) Loki Monster Buddy Mr. Dog Doggie Puppy Baby Dog Mr. Woof (Yes silly but he "woofs" under his breath rather than barks most of the time!) I'm sure it's fine. Yorkies are smart!! |

| Charile rarely if ever gets called charlie. i am the only one who does call hime charlie. He has quite a few nicknames, he responds to all names though. I don't think stewie would be confused. Yorkies are very smart dogs.
