My little girl Harlow, got her name from the actress, Jean Harlow. I love old classic Hollywood, and while Marilyn will always be my idol, I thought the name was too common, so I chose Harlow! It's unique, and glamorous! Just like her!

I don't really have a fun story for how Zyva got her name. I met her and she just seemed like a Zyva to me.

I am a NICU nurse. My very first NICU patient was a baby named Zoe and I will never forget her.

Her middle name is Bella because I thought I would name her Isabella at first but one of my close friends just named her baby Isabella and I thought it would be weird. So I went with Zoe Bella and it totally fits her

Houston was named by my wife after the then current Arkansas Razorback football coach, Houston Nutt. Houston's nickname is Pooter Butt.
Piper was named because we like the show Charmed and Pru and Phoebe didn't quite seem to fit her, so Piper it was! Piper's nickname is PeePie.
Meadow was an accident between Houston and Piper....we gave her away to a lady that Steph worked with and a few weeks later returned her...she had named her Meadow. Meadow's nickname is Piggers.
Zander was named after Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the original lady in the rescue spelled it incorrectly, so he got a Z instead of the X, so we kept it. Zander's nickname is Zander Mander Salamander.
Jack, well Jack came from the rescue as Jack, although at times I call him Cartman. Jack's nickname is Jack Jack or Jackey or Jackey Jack.

Well being a horse person, we pay big attention to show names, so the breeder (also a past horse person), allowed me to pick the registration name along with the play name. Well Matt really wanted a boy, so when I had my choice of the last two in the litter, we picked a boy, and Matt didn't like any of my names, and somehow we came up with Harley.

Well his mom is super hyper, so we figured Harley would be a little Zoomie monster. So we picked Kelland's Rev'd Up Harley.

It isn't very unique but I was all set to name my yorkie Chloe and when she came home she was facinated with a Daisy plant I had in the family room...She was so attracted to it that I felt she was telling me she wants her name to be Daisy....So that is what we named her.
