How and why did u choose name... - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My husband wanted to name him, but couldn't figure out what fit. We finally registered him as "Barry's Yorkshire Puddin'", or Puddie for short.

Isabella became Bella, became Bella-Boo, became BooBoo, became ...

My dogs are so confused they come to ANYthing as long as you sound happy

I am a european history buff and have studied all the dynasties in each country! I happened to love studying about Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette. They were the dauphin and dauphine (prince and princess) of France before they were king and queen! So we got Louis first and named him Louis Dauphin after Louis XIV and then got Paris Antoinette and named her after Marie Antoinette! When Louis and Paris had their baby boy I looked at all the records and louis XIV and Marie antoinette named their boys louis with a different middle name which didn't work! So in keeping with the French theme we called their baby boy Napoleon Yves. Long story but that's how it went! :-)

I just thought Maddie sounded cute and cuddly.
When we went to see Maddie's litter, I picked up a few little girls and asked, "Are you my Maddie?"

i know, I'm a nut.
I picked up Maddie and asked her and she shoved her little nose in my neck and completely relaxed. I looked at my hubby with teary eyes and told him here she is.
That's our bringing home the baby story.

I also love big gigantic pretentious names on little dogs! It just seems to suit the yorkie breed because they are little dogs with gigantic personalities and loads of attitude! Loved reading how everyone else has named their dogs!

My husband is Irish American and is way into the culture of Ireland. When i was looking for names I came across a website that had Irish baby names thats how I found the name Coaimhe, it means gentleness, beauty. thats what I see in her, so thats the name I chose.

My Yorkies and Bird:

Luxy & Lexia was named after my Lexie that passed away.

MJ was named after Michael Jackson.

Pebbles because she is small & I was going to name the male BamBam.

Sharky because it is such a big name for a small doggie.

Gizmo because he looks like a gremlin.

Diamond because I love diamonds.

Omg, if I get another dog I should name him MJ or Emjay to go along with the Jackson theme!! LOL.

We chose "Rhett" because of my favorite book. It's worked out extremely well, because just like his name sake, he's a scoundrel who cleans up well

LOL- my husband is already saying that we need to look in to finding Rhett his Scarlet. This is from the man who fought me on getting a yorkie for years because he thought they were "sissy" dogs.
