How did you choose your furbabies' names?
 

I'm just wondering, how did you name your furbabies?
On 30, March 2009
The day I took my furbaby home, my mind was all blank and I couldn't think of a name, all of a sudden...this song played on my mind

"Sugar,
Oh, Honey Honey.
You are my candy girl,
and you got me wanting you.
Honey,
Oh, Sugar, Sugar.
You are my candy girl
and you got me wanting you."
(by The Archies)

I have no idea why or how this song came into my mind, it's just all of a sudden! but at that moment I know she's my Sugar! :D Well at first I wanted to call her Honey but my fiance decided he didn't like it, because I've been calling him Honey for years! :p

What about you? :)

I had been trying to come up with a name for a week before getting him... nothing really
fit his picture I had saved. I was watching the movie Walk the Line about Johnny Cash
and I've always loved his song "Jackson" so... I thought Jackson just fit him! It stuck. I
went thru a few others but none stuck like Jackson. Now that MJ died too, it's fitting
because I was a fan of him! :)

OMG I was a big fan of MJ too! :D

I had always wanted a yorkie and talked my bf into looking at them atleast! When I saw the little puppy I just had to have I said "aww he looks like a little teddy bear with his fluffy face!!!" well I got him for about a week before my birthday as my gift from my bf and I just knew he was a Teddy!!! He lives up to his name!!! He has a little fluffy face still and is always up for some cuddle time!!

Your Teddy really looks like a teddy!
Sometimes we really know "This" has to be the name :D

That's a cute story! I always liked Couver's name. Very unique and cool.

My bf named Uni b/c Uni was the one I wanted, well she picked me out. My bf wanted a boy, but I insisted on her. He named her Uni b/c that's my favorite sushi. Plus she looked like a little black spiky ball when we got her. :)

Oh PS uni is sea urchin, hence little black spiky ball.

for our first yorkie we wanted a big name for this tiny dog so we named him Samson. (the whole story about Samson and Delilah)

for our 2nd yorkie my husband had been wanting to trade in his motorcycle for a Harley, so I named the dog Harley and told him now he owns one (just with 4 legs instead of two wheels ;)).

Your little man is SOOOOO cute! I love his coloring!

Jasmine Noelle Rose was born on Christmas Eve 2008. Jasmine means "gift from God", and I picked out Noelle because of the Christmas Song Noel, and Rose because of the Rose of Sharon.

Well after meeting Cody about a week before picking him up we discussed names in the car. Eh, we couldn't agree on any name, we had about 10 or 11 options and Cody just stuck and matched his little face xD

I've already decided when I get my Biewer girl her name will more than likely be Natasha xD

My husband and I went to Kona for our honeymoon so named him Kona because it brings good memories.

We got our girl when she was 8 months old so she already had a name she knew well and we didn't think it would be fair to change it. Her name is Punkin.

It drives me nuts when everyone call her Pumpkin instead.

furbaby names
 

All of my babies names represent some sort of exotic place or car or flower because we are the exotic yorkies

When I was looking for my first yorkie on internet I found one with the same name as mine (Dena) but spelled (Deena) so of course I got her and named her Deena Bella. Then my husband was jealous (Michael) so we got MichaelAngelo last week lol. Bells is a year on the 15th and MichaelAngelo was born 10-6-2009. All and all thats how their names came about...:D

LOL! Pumpkin is cute :p

OOH MY!!!
I have a friend named Michael Angelo (real name)! He's in Spain :D
Isn't that sweet to name them after you? Ah...I so wanted to call my Sugar "Violet Sugar", but that sounds kinda gross, HAHA

Couver is a very nice name! :thumbup:

Moka belongs to my darling daughter (well she paid for her but we all know Moka loves me most, LOL) and she named her Mocha, hence my screen name Mo CHA CHA (that's moka's nick name). But then, changed it to a shorter more unusual spelling of Moka. Then we added another and wanted it to roll of the tongue nicely with Moka, so we came up with Mylee. No, she is not named after Mylie Cyrus... We picked her up on our way home from Thanksgiving and driving many "miles." But mostly because Moka and Mylee sound good togther and both start with M. We had a Maui in between, but tragically lost her.

The girl who gave me Bilbo had named him Gizmo, but I wanted something different.

First, I wanted to name him Bingo (like the song), but that didn't fit. Then I remembered the old country song, "Bimbo" that my grandmother used to sing to us and thought I'd name him that. But a friend pointed out two things: 1) The word bimbo has negative connotations 2) Bimbos are usually girls.

So I thought for a couple of days and my husband said, "Why not name him Bilbo, since he has furry feet?" So we did!

Long before we got Josephine my mom and I started thinking about names since we knew we were getting a girl. It had been a long time since we've gotten to name one of our dogs (for years we did service dog training and they preselect the name of the pups) so we were a bit at a loss. At first I wanted to name her Kitty, however my mother vemonately disagreed. And then the newest litter was born and one of the little girl's name was Josephine. While I do know we could have easily renamed her, after we broke out the name dictionary we decided against it.

Josephine - meaning; a new addition in the family, name in history; Napoleon's wife.

It was too perfect. Though next one is so going to be Kitty.

All my dogs are name Major on their papers. My dad loved the name and wanted me to name something that so I ended up with it in all my dogs name. My first one Jazzy is named Melissa's Major Jazz.. and so on..

Well when i went to get Gatsby i was going after his sister and i was going to name her gwen but one look in his little face and i knew i had to have him so then i started thinking and the great gatsby was the last book i read in high school (i graduated as a junior) and the book became special to me like transition in my life so i bought a special hard cover non edited version and always kept it on my dresser well they bought gatsby for me as a compainion for my new college life and i knew right then but diddent say anything then later that night somehow the book had been knocke to the floor and he tinkled on it i was soo upset i GATSBY and he sat on his but and look right up at me that was it he was Gatsby it was just ment to be

:aimeeyork Noir (french for the color Black).
I took french my senior year. I love the Language. I wanted to name my furbaby something french. i was thinking of naming him 'star' in french, but no one in my family could prenounce it. so i named him Noir (nu-ar). :aimeeyork

I used to watch that soap.

When I found out I was getting my boy I thought I wanted to name him Riley from the phrase "living the life of Riley" because I knew he was going to be spoiled rotten. When I went to pick him up I mentioned it to the lady I was getting him from (who I had not ever met before) and she said oh that would be pretty wild. My daughters name is Riley. Well that kinda freaked me out. I didnt even know she had a daughter much less that her name was Riley. I had a little bed for him and he kept trying to tuck himself into the sides of it as tight as he could. I said look at him trying to tuck himself in there. We had a real estate paper in the car so he could have something to potty on on the way home because we had a 4 hour drive to go. I looked down and the top of the paper under my arm had Tucker Realty on it. So I looked at my husband and said TUCKER. The whole family agreed. I took him to the vet the day after I got him. I had never been to this vets office before. There were about 6 or 8 docs at this place. I could have ended up with any one of them. The doc I got was named Dr. Tucker. I couldnt believe it. I just knew at that point Tucker was the name he was supposed to have and he was supposed to be mine because he was born on my birthday.
