How did your Yorkie get its name....

[lovespandp]

LoL

When I brought Pnut home, Hubby and some of his friends were kinda... wasted.. One of his friends say's "he looks like a little peanut" and that was it haha

[brendarash]

When we purchased our two first little girls in Lancaster Pa from a Amish friend of ours I turned to my husband and said now... What are we going to name them? He said the little one is Sadie May ,(That is a amish name ) I said oh thats so cute and then we said okay now how about her sister I said I know it's Jackie Fay. A year Later we rescued Rosie and that stuck because all of my fur babies names end in ie, Then our final rescue came as Diamond and I said no way thats not going to work so I named her Julie Ann. Then my last rescue (we had him for 2 yrs. a maltese He is Romeo we call him Romie Michael.My fur grandbaby her name is Lillie she is a jack russel. and sweet as she can be.

I always loved the name Benjamin and planned on naming my son that name if I ever had one. Since I didn't ever have a boy and i knew i wasn't going to be having anymore babies I gave Benjamin the boys name I've always for some reason loved.

I named my little girl Dahlia, but I call her Dolly. She's such a little cuddler it fits, and she likes when I dress her up in all her outfits, like a little doll!

We named our baby girl Ellie Pearl. Ellie is short for Elwood Lee my grandfather. Pearl was the nicname of lynns grandfather.

When I picked up my little boy he looked like a little " Teddybear" , hence the name. When I got one of my females she was 1 1/2 yrs. old and her name is "Baby", That is where I got my screen name BabyTeddybears. And along came my little girl who I thought was going to be named "Angel" but when I picked her up she looked like a "Lil Lucy" and it stuck..

I tend to chose the name then get the pup. My Yorkie Gypsy Belle : always wanted a long hair dog named Gypsy. Though I keep her hair short. Puff the chi: Hubby named her Cocoa Puff cause she is chocolate brown (some groomers and a vet say she looks like a chocolate yorkie) and her parents were named after candy. Sophie Renee our boston terrier: I wanted a girlie name cause they look so stocky. I thought of the name then right after saw it in a romance I was reading so that was a good sign.
Trying to convine hubby I need a pomeranian next, may wait till I see the pup this time.

OK, this is kind of a bad place to get a name but............Preston was a rescue, and we drove over an hour to get him. He was five months old, had gone to puppy auction cause he was "too big to be sold" so he had never had a name. (He is 16 lbs of PURE joy by the way) Anyway, driving home, we were trying to think of a name, and were yelling out all the words we saw on signs as we drove. Every time I saw a town name I would say it out loud, my two goofy daughters said they were going to add "butts" to the end of everything I said, so Diggins (a town) Butts, Seymore (another town) Butts, then we see of all things.......a funeral home called Preston Marsh, I kinda liked the name, so he is named after a FUNERAL HOME, and by the way, my daughters and groomer still lovingly refer to him as Prest on Butts. ROFL He looked like what I thought a Preston might though, kind of serious and somber. With Paisley, I had the name picked out before I even got her. Kept telling little Mr Preston I was going to get him a little sister some day, and she was gonna be named Paisley Parker. Just liked the two names together. Preston and Paisley, my youngest daughter gave me a hard time, told me no one was into alliteration anymore. Apparently I am though. LOL

What a cute thread. My lost boy was named Matty - short for Matthew. When I lost my little chihuahua/poodle mix, Amy I was in bad shape. If dogs are ever soul mates, she was mine. I was heart sick. And them my groomer called 2 months after she died and said she had a little abused yorkie she had rescued (privately - not through a shelter). So we went and looked and got him even though I didn't feel ready to have another baby.

But he saved me - and so we named him Matthew which means "gift from God". Because he was.

Kind of an embarrasing story, but when I first started dating my girlfriend, I made the unfortunate mistake of telling her that when I was a little boy I cried when I watched ET. So, of course, she started picking on me and calling me Elliott. Anyway, about a year later when I bought my puppy, he was shaking and whimpering just a little bit, so I decided to call him Elliott. She got a kick out of it, and the name stuck. He's a tough guy, but still enough of a baby that the name fits him.

Kinda strange story... Years ago I had a C-A-T and named him chunky rasta but for reasons unknown(and... I had already quit drinking by then) I started calling him Finn.

So when I rescued my yorkie/chi or ???? /mix I wanted that name for him. People say he looks like a Finn so it must have been the right name.

He finally moves his ears now when I call him although we are still working on who the leader is ...

[Callie Lou]

I don't know if any of you have ever seen the movie The Dollmaker with Jane Fonda...but in the movie there is a little girl named Cassie Marie and she has an imaginary friend named Callie Lou.
It is an all time favorite movie of mine. It is a very sweet (or bittersweet, I should say) movie and the little girl in the movie just steals your heart. There is a tragic part that involves this little girl toward the end....and the little girl who lived next door to her ended up naming her doll Callie Lou.
If you haven't seen this movie, you are so missing out. Anyhow, that is where my Callie Lou got her name~....after Cassie Marie's imaginary friend.

My daughter has a little Yorkie that they named Chewie (short for Chewbacca from star wars). He is quite a furball just like the Chewbacca in the movie.

I also know someone who has a dog named Hooter....because when he was a pup, he loved to snuggle up on his Human Momma's "Hooters"~
Too funny~

Well with Mica we honestly couldn't think of a name we liked and then my sister said that we should just take the letters from our last name and mix them up and she came up with Mica in a flash. Everyone loved it.
