Your Yorkie's Name! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Beamers Mom · 02-05-2011, 06:13 AM

Beamer was named by the breeder's son - He owned a BMW. I always wanted a Beamer, so now I have one

When my husband brought Lil Bit home we didn't have a name for her. For several days she was just "puppy" or "sweetie" I was trying to decide what name suited her. Finally decided her name was Bonnie Blue, then I said she was just a Lil Bit for such a big name - and Lil Bit ended up being what we called her.

I already had Bella's name picked out before I got her...so when she came home she already knew her name...and it fits her perfectly, she isn't a girly girl she is all tomboy..lol..I went with Bella cause my First yorkies name was Bailey RIP and I wanted both my pups names to start with a B...Than I got Harley he is only 18 weeks...Hubby wanted a manly name for his boy since all we ever had was girls...and he picked Harley cause we
have a Harley Davidson

My husband and kids are very active in our local snowmobile club, actually my hubby is the president..anyways, he takes the kids out grooming trails alot and one of the brand names of one of the groomers is called a Tucker.. when our pup was born, also to another active family in the snowclub he looked just like a Tucker so he was named at a day old. The name fixs him perfect, he loves snow and is always plowing it with his nose..lol...

I got Rosie when she was almost 6 months old. So she already had a name. I added her middle name. She is now officially Rosie Marie. It just seemed to fit her.

LaurenPatrice · 02-05-2011, 07:49 AM

Winston (schnauzer)- he was already named. I loved his name, very smart

.
Remy(yorkie)- we wanted something that kind of went with Winston. My husband said Remington. I said no and we got "Remy". It fits him well.
Holly(boxer)- we wanted a name for Christmas since we got her in December. She loves her name

Well when we went to meet these 2 puppies and figure out which one would be right for us Silver was the more outgoing, loving, playful one. So we ended up falling in love with her. So we brought her home and was thinking of names. She had a little silver on her toes so we ended up naming her Silver. As soon as we called her she looked up and we knew it fit her.

Peyton already had a name when i got her, she was 2 years old so i couldnt change it. i wouldnt of picked it myself but it has grown on me and i call her Little Miss Princess Peyton

Sammy Mommy · 02-05-2011, 08:10 AM

I wanted the name Toby but my kids didn't like it. So they chose the name Sammy after Sammy Sosa (which doesn't make sense to me because we are Yankees fans!).

I love reading about pet names...thanks for the thread!

My yorkie Zoe was named by my daughter and her boyfriend when my daughter rescued her. He's Greek so they wanted a greek name...it was either going to be Sophie or Zoe and my daughter wanted to save Sophia in case she needed it for a human girl someday. So Zoe it is (I think it means "hope".)
It was fun to see that we have so many names in common here...I've always wanted a "Harley", helped a friend name their golden "Tucker", our first dog as a married couple was an American Eskimo named "Jack" (we loved him so!), I just wrote about the "Sophie" possibility, and my daughter goes to U. of Oklahoma and wants a "Boomer" someday!

My other three dogs are:
Emma Grace--blenheim cavalier, named by my daughter because she'd just seen Rachel on Friends name her baby Emma Grace!
Cooper--Named by my daughter because she loves Mini Coopers (which is his official name)
Cindy Lou--Named by both kids because we got her when the movie The Grinch came out.

We also have tons of nicknames for all of them. Do you all do that, too?

SophieKatesMom · 02-05-2011, 08:28 AM

Sophie Kates name was partially inherited and partially given to her by me.

When I got her she already had the name Sophie, which she knew - the first night I got her my friend Katie came over and Sophie Kate decided Katie was her BFF and curled up on her lap and took a nap so I gave her the name Kate because that was the moment I fell in love with her so now we have Sophie Kate.

MyLilyRose · 02-05-2011, 08:31 AM

Marley...because I liked the name.

gardengirl77 · 02-05-2011, 08:41 AM

My previous Yorkie that I loved dearly and had for almost 18 yrs was named Gretchen. After I lost her I wanted the next ones name to sound like they go together. I decided Gretchen & Heidi sounded just right. When I brought the new pup, Heidi home it fits her perfectly & she answered to it right away. She just turned 2 and she is definitely a Heidi! My dad often calls her PeeWee though and she always acts so excited about it.

wetherc · 02-05-2011, 09:36 AM

I always wanted to name my dog Levis (after the jeans) but my boyfriend wasn't crazy about the name so he suggested Bailey because I like coffee and Baileys. Little did I know that Bailey is one of the most common names for dogs! When I rescued some kittens this past fall and took them to the SPCA, I got to name one of them Levis.

LoALAnna · 02-05-2011, 09:39 AM

[QUOTE=babbsiam44;3417198]WOW, I am glad you didn't name him Freddie or Kruger or Damian...LOL

We had a beautiful part-siamese cat (a Hemmingway) that we named Damian, because when he was a kitten he was SO crazy we thought he was possessed! DH said that the only behavior he hadn't shown yet was the the spinning head and pea soup! We had him 14 years and just lost him in Oct. of '09.

When we picked out our puppy I wanted to call him Boomer, but DH was such a Matrix fan we agreed to call him Neo instead. I named our next boy Connor (after the Highlander).

jrsygal37 · 02-05-2011, 09:59 AM

Lilianna was name by my mom. She was dying when we got Lily and I would take her every day to see mom. She would lay next to her for hours and never move. On the first day mom wasn't talking and just sleeping and my brother said "What are you going to call her." My mom woke up for a minute and said Lily. So that is where she got her name from.

[/B] Bella Mia = My beautiful girl.

Beans = He came to us with this name and we kept it because Mr. Beans is our little mobster. LOL.

Tia - was called Zelda when we got her and IDK she was so tiny we wanted to give her a short tiny name so Tia was it.

Noel - Came at Christmas.

Brooklyn (AKA) The Midget = My husband was a Brooklyn cop and he wanted to name her so he named her Brooklyn after the place he worked out of. We also call her Midget because she's so tiny.

Mia - (AKA) Mi Mi - I don't know it was just another Italian name we thought of since we are Italian. And it seemed to fit her.
