I knew I wanted to name mine after designers... so I just picked designer names that worked as pet names also.

Hence Armani & Chloe

Our girls are named after baseball fields:

Crosley
Wrigley
Camden

People always think they are boys, but their not!

When I first got Taz I didn't know what to name him. I wanted to find a name that fit his personality. It took a few days..and I came up with Taz for the simple fact, he was so small, and new to our family but he acted like he had known us from birth he was a true Tazmanian Devil! We came up with Taz but mommy calls him Tazzy!

I love all of these names and the stories behind them! My Louis Dauphin is named after King Louis XIV of France and Paris Antoinette is named after Marie Antoinette Queen of France and Napoleon is named after Napoleon of France! I have a MA in public policy and history and have a thing for euro history and loved reading all there was to read on Marie Antoinette so that is my story! Our yorkie family is complete and their names fit them to a t as well! I love little dogs that have big imposing names and any dog that has a people name! My sister's yorkie's name is Ross...my best friend's yorkie's name is Nina and I knew a person who named hers "Dave" which was hilarious!! I love names so it was fun to come up with ours!

I chose my boy's name years before I would get him. I love anime and manga, and I also love having unique things. (ex. everyone has an iPod, so I got a Clix, no one I know has one of those!!) I knew giving my pup a anime/manga inspired name would guarantee some "uniqueness" to his name. Not that I think anyone would know, but Kaji came from one of the supporting characters of Neo Genesis Evangelion, it was an easy name to pronounce, even for my Spanish speaking parents. He was such a womanizer in the anime and to my surprise Kaji loves the ladies, so his name fits.

I had pretty much decided to name my next dog Clover because I absolutely love all things Irish, especially shamrocks! But I felt that Clover sounded kinda like a name for a rabbit so on the drive home from picking our Yorkie up, my husband and I were trying to decide between Lily and Chloe (short for Clover). Jokingly, I looked at the pup and said "Lily!". She ignored me. I said "Chloe!" and she looked up at me. Total coincidence I know, but that decided it!! We thought about calling her Clover Lily but decide on Clover Belle because my mother's maiden name is Bell and it sounded pretty. I also like that Chloe and Belle both end in 'e' and are the same number of letters. I think it looks pretty written out. It also nice to kind of have a "theme" for your dog. Anything I see with clovers on it, I have to buy for her!!

Who knew you could learn so many things about a person, just by posting this thread?! I love all of the stories! By the way, our scottie/cairn terrier is named Halo, after the video game Halo! Can you tell my now 25 year old son came up with that one?! Thank you for sharing!

I love Halo!!! I suck at the game, but I'm glued to the TV when my brothers play. I wish I were better. I'm only good with the sniper riffle and chucking grenades. I can really make them stick!!

)!

This is kind of a sick story, but I have to tell it anyway. When we purchased Halo, my son was constantly in his room playing that game; 24/7! Typical teenager. A few days after halo came into our lives, we had to take him to the ER VET. He was very, very, sick and while that poor puppy was laying on the exam table, Douglas, my son, said..."Mom don't worry, you can always name the next one Halo 2"! By the time he said this, we knew that Halo was going to be fine. It kind of broke the tension in the room, but I still couldn't believe he said that! The way their minds work amaze me!

We had just watched the movie Walk the Line about Johnny Cash. My mom loved the song "Jackson" and suggested it to me... I took another look at Jackson's picture before I owned him.. and he just looked like a Jackson! I also always liked MJ so it kinda had a double meaning... I just liked the name!

Thomas J · 04-11-2010, 04:45 PM

Thomas J was named after the skinny sickly boy on the 'My Girl' movie..
We are very happy he doesnt look like that anymore!

My husband was so sweet about getting Sarge that I let him pick the name---he named him after the world war I hero, Sergeant York , so he's Sergeant Yorkie, Sarge for short. Lexi has her name just because I liked it

Cathy, mom to

Sarge and

Lexi
