When we Got our Riley, he was really shy, and sort or awkward, but he was so funny to watch, well the day after we brought him home he still had no name.. My daughter and I were watching National treasure, and one of the guys on there is funny and awkward, and when someone called him Riley, my daughter and I looked at each other at the exact same time and said ( in unison ) what about Riley, when that happened I knew, it was meant to be his name..lol..Oh and I forgot to mention. our new little Bella...she got her name because she is a girl and I am ridiculously obsessed with TWILIGHT..

Oh I love that series of books! Can't wait till he finally finishes the next one! And Daenerys is one of my favorite characters. Good name choice!

I'm "Irish at heart" and have a mild addiction to shamrocks and Celtic music. Since our Yorkie was born in March, it seemed appropriate to name her Clover. Her registered name is Jersey's Four Leaf Clover (Jersey comes from mine and my husband's names...Jeremy and Chelsey) and we call her Chloe. Her middle name is Belle because it flows well.

OMG that was my all time favorite show..can you tell by my user name..lol..If Riley would have been a girl I was planning on naming him piper.

Yorkie: Moto, chosen by my son who races motocross.

Jack Russell: Sugar b/c she was my Valentines gift from my husband.

Border collie: Zipper b/c he's a trained herd dog and super duper fast. (we adopted this dog from my husband's father after he was no longer physically able to care for him)

Cat : Izzy. Someone dropped him off in my front yard in a trash bag. Becuase he was so small he looked like a little girl and we named it lilly. As time went buy and we got him into the vet he thought it was a boy, so we named him Izzy As in ishe a boy or ishe a girl.

I have some friends who rescued a dog that was dumped off near their house in terrible condition. They named him "Willit" because it was touch and go..."Will it live or will it die?" Fortunately, he lived!

I'm sure I've said it plenty of times before...but we named both of our girls for characters from the show Criminal Minds. My husband and I are huge fans, so we decided on Morgan Prentiss first and our new baby is now Emily Jareau. :-)

Sweet Girls · 05-04-2010, 02:02 PM

My father lives with me, and when I said I was bringing home a dog (my minature schnauzer), he was a little reluctant and said, fine then he is naming it, (and because I knew with a puppy I would need his support as he is home all day, and I'm at work) I agreed. Dad chose the name George (after his older brother), and when I said...but I'm getting a girl...we finally agreed on Georgie Girl (George for short) so ...I decide I want to get another dog, and my friend who does dog rescue calls and tells me about this perfect little Yorkie, and she thinks she would suit us well. Her given name was Roxy but we decided to re-name her (there is already a Roxy in our building), I thought I would call her Rikki...but once Dad got his hands on her, he said, Charlie! (another of his brothers). So....it is Charlee (tried to make it a little girly)...and the funnist thing is that both names suit both dogs. George is steadfast and stoic much like my Uncle George (always protecting his younger brothers) and Charlee is a sh*t disturber...much like my father and his brother Charlie!

Mom2Kobe · 05-04-2010, 02:15 PM

DH & I didn't expect to yet a puppy let alone a Yorkie, DH also thought he would look "sissy" walking a little dog.

We had him for 3 or 4 days with no name.... DH wakes up one morning and says "its either going to be Laker or Kobe (Bryant)". I went with Kobe, we are big basketball fans and DH is a Lakers fan Kobe being his fav player. He is now talking about getting another one, or two...LOL so much for looking sissy!! Their names will be Nash (Steve Nash Phoenix Suns and Garnett (Kevin Garnett Boston Celtics) thats is we get boys.

4 Cockatiels: Phoebe, Piper, Paige, and Prue... thats why i couldnt name the dog... Charmed Obsessed!

chandracz · 05-04-2010, 02:20 PM

I went searching online because I didn't know about YT. I had "Bailey" and "Bandit" picked out. I figured whichever name I called him first (I knew I was getting a boy) would be his name. Bailey was the first name I called him..s

Wall-eWorld · 05-04-2010, 03:20 PM

You can probably guess about Wall-e, but I just love that movie! I wanted to name my dog Wall-e after seeing it, funny now how my Wall-e twists his head just like the movie character when he hears or sees something new.
