| How did your Yorkie get its name.... There are so many interesting names! So how did yours get it? Our Pup Seeker was named by my 5 year old. She LOVES the show LEgend of the Seeker, so, hence, he is Seeker |

| I loved the name Bella and wanted my granddaughter to be named that. Since I finally got a grandson we decided Bella wouldn't work! When I got my little Yorkie and ended up with a girl it was the first named that popped into my head. Since my name is Donna my hubby loved the idea of Bella Donna so it stuck.

| roman/greek mythology was were my furkids got their names I chose Pann's name because I loved it, my family still thinks I'm crazy.PAN was the god of shepherds and flocks, of mountain wilds, hunting and rustic music. I just liked the way it flowed off my tong. His name really fits him. The bf chose Artemis's name b/c she is a puggle (beagle & pug) and Artemis is the goddess of the wilderness, the hunt and wild animals, and fertility--he chose it b/c of the first three, he found it appropriate

| I didn't want a Yorkie that was laid-back or timid --- I wanted one that had spunk and the temperament that Yorkies are supposed to have, a true terrier temperament. Alert, friendly, afraid of nothing. That's what I got, and I chose a name that would say "here comes trouble!"

| LOL, Moka was bought and brought home by my daughter to be Her dog. She named her Mocha because of her reddish/brown color. My daughter's boyfriend kept calling her Mo-Cha or Mo-Cha-Cha and it stuck (hence My screen name) but we hated Mo Cha Cha, so she changed the spelling to Moka, darling daughter got rid of the obnoxious BF, and Moka became My baby! Couldn't be happier about any of it.

| bijou estelle my furbaby is a rescue and she came to me with the name gypsy. i knew i was going to change it and when i went and picked her up, she was sleeping in her kennel and seemed really woozy and discombobulated, so we called her typsy. i knew i was going to change her name, but i didn't know to what. originally, i was going to call her jolie, but when i mentioned it to someone, he said "you mean like angelina jolie" and i was like ooooooohhhh noooooooooooooo!!!!! back to the drawing board!! i knew i wanted a french name that had a good meaning (b/c i've wanted to learn french for a long time). she's such a blessing to me that i finally came up with bijou, which means jewel. her middle name, estelle, is from my deceased mom. it took me about 3 weeks to come up with her name LOL |

| Cpt. Jack Sparrow (Jack) got his name due to the fact that we have an all black kitty named Black Pearl (yes, we got her when Pirates of the Caribbean was popular) and since we had the Black Pearl, my daughter said we needed Cpt. Jack. His name is very fitting! He is handsome and suave and rambunctious and raucous just like the movie! One of these days, I will get him a sister and her name will be Elizabeth Swan - her nickname will be Izzy because I think that is a cute name. Sorry, no Will Turner in my story.... Heck, I always thought Elizabeth and Sparrow would be together at the end anyway - boy did I get that wrong! LOL

| Jackson came to mind because me & my mom had just watched Walk the Line (the Johnny Cash) movie and he had that song, ya know... "I'm goin' to Jaaccksoonn..." LOL and it was a week later I brought Jackson home, and my mom mentioned the idea to me, so I kept staring at his picture (before I even met him) and thought he just *looked* like a Jackson. Nothing else I came up with seemed to fit.

| Sophie Kate came with the name Sophie we added the Kate part the first night I got her because my friend Katie was over and Sophie Kate just crawled on to her lap like she belonged there so we added the Kate part. Kind of glad I did now, there are so many Sophie dogs in this world, it makes her unique.

| My husband and I both made lists of potential names trying to stick to names that were english shoulding since they are originally and english breed. We compared our lists and Paddington was the only one that wound up on both. We both loved it so thats what we went with. I made his middle name Oliver because I LOVE that name and wanted to use it but if I ever have a human kid I might want to name it that so its only the middle name. Don't want the kid to find out he was named after the dog or something lol.

| We decided on Roxie because of Chicago (the musical) Shes our little jazz starlet. Ryder was a surprise to us and we got him to be a riding buddy for my hubby, turns out he loves his momma and isnt a rider after all. Prince we could not decide on a R name or any name for that matter and my hubby was home the weekend we got him and called him rooster because of his crying in his pen, then when he went to leave town he picked up the puppy and said goodbye Prince and then that was it... hes our Prince.
