Should I not name her Bambi??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Gennies · 05-13-2011, 04:10 AM

As many of you know I'm getting a beautiful new baby girl from Breny and I had picked the name Bambi for her. I wanted a B name to go with my other two yorkies, Bijou and Barley. I don't. Want Bella or Bri as those are my best friend's little girls names. Problem is everyone I tell her name to give me a look like I'm crazy and one good friend asked me why I named her that in a rather rude way and then started surfing the net to find her a different name 0.0. So my question to y'all is should I change her name and do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you for any advice and support. I'm on my phone but I'll try to attach her picture for y'all to see her.

Well, I think the name Bambi is adorable.

One of the best things about getting your own pet is being able to name it. I wouldn't worry about what other people say if you are happy with the name.

If you like Bambi, I wouldn't change it. Here are some ideas though, in case you decide you want something different for that little beauty.

Here is a website with girl names that begin with the letter B...

She's your puppy, and you should feel comfortable to name her whatever you want!! I have two female dogs named after male family members which causes some people to pause.

However, having said that...I love the names Bijou and Barley...and Bambi seems a little ordinary in comparison...but that can depend on your neighbourhood/location. Looking at some other B names I found Babe...which I thought would be pretty when said with a French accent...You might also want to wait until you have her home for a little while, and see what name "speaks" to you!!

Good luck...I'm sure she'll be a great addition, no matter what you name her!

Bambi is a cute name that I would totally use. Go with what you like, not someone else. I got a ton of slack from some people when I named Nellie, but I like it and that's all that matters...unless someone takes over her vet bills for life, in which case I might consider changing it.

Maximo · 05-13-2011, 04:55 AM

Don't worry about what others think. I received a lot of eye-rolling for choosing one of the most common dog names (Max, for short), but once people meet my dog, they tell me it fits.

yorkietalkjilly · 05-13-2011, 04:58 AM

People name their dog what is cute or meaningful to them and seems to fit the dog. Bambi always reminds me of something young and playful, imposssibly cute and innocent. Seems to fit that little dear of yours to a "T". What a wonderful little Yorkie you are getting!!! Name her the name that satisfies you and your dog and no one else.

Ringo1 · 05-13-2011, 05:01 AM

Name her Bambi! I think that's a cute name but really it's only what YOU think that matters.

katienme2002 · 05-13-2011, 05:12 AM

Who cares what other people think? Shes your baby and you should name her what you want. And by the way, the name Bambi is totally adorable!

moshes_human · 05-13-2011, 05:17 AM

If you like it go with it

People don't like Moshe's name. I had one person who was offended by it and the groomer can't even pronounce it. Doesn't matter it suits him.

Darlene68 · 05-13-2011, 05:23 AM

Love Bambi, very sweet name!

viviansnickers · 05-13-2011, 05:24 AM

I don't get why your friends asked you that??? Is something wrong w/ Bambi?? Hmmmmm...name her as you wish...she's your baby!!!

I did get flack for naming my black and white Biewer Reesie--everyone said he doesn't look like chocolate and his name should be Oreo (which in my opinion is kinda too typical)!!! Except, I didn't really name him after Reeses Peanut Butter Cups....it was more after one of my fav actresses Reese Witherspoon!!! He is SO STICKIN CUTE just like her

It just happen to go well w/ Snickers as well w/ the chocolate theme!!! LOLLLL!!!!!! People call him REESES all the time....I want to say it's REESIE!!!!! But I never do....

Call her Bambi!!!!!! I like it!!!

Oh my goodness. She is adorable. What a beauty. I like Bambi. It sounds sweet and feminine. Just remember you have to say it forever and you have to like it. I personally love it

Lil Sis · 05-13-2011, 05:34 AM

WELLLLLL I think it is kind of rude for your "friends" to react like that.

Bambi is a cute name, you like it, that is what counts!!!!

I got a lot of "trouble" for naming Remy. Almost every name I have given a dog I have had someone question the name.. so you can't make everyone happy.

Even my children's names cause some trouble.. *sigh*

PS... if I ever get a black and white parti I want to name her Flower
