How did your furbaby(ies) aka Yorkie get their name? I am sure there were other threads posted on this subject matter. However, I have been on this site for a short time and I have been amazed at the names that Yorkie owners give to their babies. SO if you feel like sharing please do. Since I am relatively new to this site, and an extreme novice, please don't redirect to me other posts/threads about this because knowing me, I will get lost (Chuckle, Chuckle). I apologize beforehand for the LONG testimony and if you want you can scroll down So, I will share how Hugo got his name. Years ago, I remember the first time I saw a Yorkie was in Pet CO in Manhattan. Knowing nothing about this breed or dogs for that matter, I thought it was the most amazing furball I ever saw-I was hooked. I did preliminary research to get one and learned how expensive they were. I was a college student back then, earning a meager wage. Soon after my encounter with that furbaby, I would see more of them. However, I only thought that this dog was for the upper class and manhattan socialites/fashionistas. I gave up hope. Not to mention as a young child I had a pekeineese chihuhua mixed dog named "Brownie" that was my loyal companion. Brownie was taken from me and I vowed that I will never love another dog again! I then began helping a friend of mine window merchanize stores in Manhattan wich led me to work behind the scenes in Fashion week. Once I saw the HUGO Boss brand I thought to myself if I ever get a Yorkie, I will name him Hugo. While working behind the scenes I saw some designers and models and execuitves in fashion walking with their pooches in designer purses. Some were chihuahuas and saw some yorkies. However, that was the first time I saw yorkies with long flowing hair with bows and cute outfits. When I met Hugo, I knew that he will be named Hugo because as strage as it sounds, it was like we were meant to be together. So Hugo's name reflects my favorite designers Hugo Versace Fendi! Oh yes, Hugo is SPOILED!!! |

Their registered name is with either my kennel name and/or the kennel where I obtained them and usually followed with a theme of their particular line. Their call name is usually something to do with their personality. |
Tucker got his name when he was 2 days old.. :),my hubby does grooming for the snowmobile trails in our area and the name of the groomer is "Tucker".. he brought it up and because it was close to winter the kids and I agreed that it was a perfect name.. :)...and he lives up to the name.. He loves the snow, he will bury is nose in the snow and push it along, just like a groomer would..lol.. |
My daughter named him a year before we even got him. She named him after the disney character from the high school musical franchise. So now we have a Troy. |

My daughter also named my Yorkie (Bella). She says she didn't get it from Twilight, but I don't know... :D |
My favorite group is Duran Duran and I love their song "Rio". So I named Rio, as in "Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand..." My friends and family who know me were not surprised by her name, and know she's a girl. Strangers who ask what her name is automatically assume she is a boy, and think I named her after Rio De Janeiro, Brazil or the Las Vegas Casino "Rio". :confused: |
My first yorkie was named Jessie Jamie after Jessie James. We named her that name since we got her right after meeting one of my husband's uncle (by marriage) This uncle was very colorful and claimed to be a descendant of Jessie Jamies. His stories were really funny to me and made little sense, but he did make an impression on me. Unfortunately Jessie had to be put to sleep in February 3009. She was 14 and 1/2 years old. The we got another yorkie in October 09-same birthdate as Jessie -July 20th. We gave her Jessie's middle name, Jamie as her first name. Her middle name is Yogini since I am a Yoga fanatic. Thus my new baby is Jamie Yogini. I wanted to name her Yogini as the first name but my husband hated that. |
Rafa Nadal I always wanted a yorkie and knew i was always gonna name him after Rafa Nadal...the professional tennis player...who i've been obsessed with for years :D that is one good looking man! |
In order to get my mom on my side about getting my little one while I was staying with my parents for the summer, I tried EVERYTHING to get her to feel some sort of connection with the idea of having a dog. I tried letting her pick out clothes and accessories...that didn't work. I tried showing her pictures of all the sweet little Yorkies I saw....and that didn't work. So I finally wrote a list of my favorite doggy names...and she chose Bella (not the most original...but I love it. lol :p). After that she started to fall in love with saying her little name. And about a month later I brought my little baby home. And my mother absolutely ADORES her. :) Full Name: Princess Isabella Grace *I just felt like I should just jazz it up a bit. lol ;) |
I named Louis after my favorite purse designer, Louis Vuitton!:) |
Thank you all! Thank you all for sharing! I love logging on and reading the names and how you chose them! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D I love my :aimeeyork! |
I had Fancy's name picked out before I got her. There is/was soap opera called Passions and there was a girl on there name Fancy Crane. Well, I like the name Fancy so much that I decided when I got a yorkie that is what I would name her! |
Well I wanted to name Reggie,...Rhett (I love gone with the wind) but my hubby knew what I was doing and said no way. Well Reggie is my 3rd yorkie and I told my husband he will be his dog so he has to name him. He said he looks like a Reggie :rolleyes: |
Harry got his name because the Breeder stated in her contract that his name had to start with the letter H, she assigns a letter to each litter she breeds so Harry's name is Harrison Ford Stone..LOL my favorite actor, Prada got named by my daughter well I guess after her favorite Purse.., Chanel after Coco Chanel was named by me and Relay well my hubby got to name him..:p after an elevator part..LOL:) |
