Story behind your Yorkie(s) name?

[Shelby&Seymour]

Shelby (my little princess) is a name that I just really liked. It is also a name of one of the many places that I drove through when i went to get her (more than 3 hours of driving).

Seymour is a name that my DH picked out. I wanted to call him Simon, but hubby insisted that he didn't look like a Simon..... thus, Seymour!

Seeger was being called "Scandel" when we got him at 15 weeks old. I didn't think such a sweet faced little dog should have such a "naughty" name. (of course, he has proved me wrong many times over with his abundance of energy & curious personality). .. Again, I suggested Simon..... but again, the name just didn't fit. He was named Seeger (you can 't call him Bob )..... not only does it fit him, but named after someone in the music world but spelled a little different (hubby is a musician/drummer ).

George got his name because when my grandchildren were small I always said I was going to take them home and hug them and love them and call them George, it is from a Bugs Bunny cartoon with the abominable snowman. So when I told our oldest Granddaughter I was getting a puppy and what should I call him she said George..it was like DUH! what else would you call him ...lol

Our First Dog was named Marvin at the Humane Society..it fit so well we kept it.

Then we found The little yorkie on the street...we named him FizGig from the movie Dark Crystal because when we found him he was a furball.

Max was named at his other owners home and knew his name so we kept it...but I call himm Cutie Patootie

Titus was another owner turn in to the resuce. His name was the name on his papers from the breeder. Thats what he has been called all along so we kept that too.

We rescued Corky... So he came with the name.. "Corky Da Yorkie" Yep that is his name.

When i asked my hubby what we should name our new puppy he said we should call him Mr Frumtickle WinnieWinks. Apparently something that small and cute has to have a very long and silly name. But when we chose Winnie she ended up being a girl, so i said we couldn't call her MR Frumtickle because thats a boys name so my husband then replied "Fine we'll call her Winnie TickleBottoms". From there we just call her Winnie, but her full name is actually Winnie TickleBottoms, which is extremely appropriate because she's always wagging her bottom around as if it tickles!

[Pipers]

I liked the name Piper cause it sounds lively and energetic (to me) - that would have been a great name for my daughter, but am 13 years too late so the next blessed creature to arrive in our home was given the name Piper!

Our first Yorkie we named Jasmine after the Disney Princess because that satisfied our girly daughter and our son thought we were naming her Jazz Man and he thought that was very cool. LOL Ultimately she was called Jazzy for most of her life...I really miss her.

I've always planned on naming my dog Lady (you know Lady and the Tramp, my favorite movie growing up) but when I rescued Darla she was already 2 and she had her name already. So I decided to just change her name to Darling Darla. (Darling is the Mom in the movie) When she is getting lots of loving we call her our lil Darling and when I'm summoning her I call her Darla. She loves it. It totally fits her.

I made a list of names I liked. I loved Terra for 2 reasons. The first is that Terra means earth which I think fits a Yorkie well The second reason is that ever since I was 12 I've been obsessed with Gone with the Wind and although spelled different, Terra was the name of the plantation Scarlett lived on. If I ever get a small Yorkie female (4 pounder) I plan to name her Pixie!

Sadie is after my late mother. Her maiden name was Hawkins and her nickname was Sadie. Even my dad didn't know her "real" name till after they were engaged. Her registered name is Lane's Lady of Dogpatch. Beemer was named because his sire had a car name. We named him Beemer because I had a little BMW Z4. I still haven't filled out his final registration or come up with a registered name. After Beemer came along I kind of wished that we'd used something with Mercedes in it for Sadie.

Who Done It
Yes that is his name. When he was a pup I would turn my back and something was destoyed. I would have a living room covered in puppy pad snow and I would say who done it and he would come running so proudly with the evidence all over him bouncing and excited. So many other names were attempted but nothing worked he would only come to and respond to Who Done It, he done it.

Cozy is short for Cosette from Les Miseribles plus she loved to cozy up to her loved ones. It also means "little warrior woman".

Roxy was originally named Candy become Rock Candy because she is a rough and tumble girl. I shortened it to Roxy which means "Dawn"- She is always bright and full of herself.

Zoey was Cozy's original name from the breeders. It means "Life and peace". She is very Zen.

Lucy after I love Lucy- When she was a little puppy she would get very vocal when ever you found her doing something wrong and they she would start to whine as though she was doing a lot of explaining. It means "light" I was going to keep her brother who had a cleft plate but he passes away from complicates. She was our light from darkness.

Buddy is a rescue. While driving home from rescuing him I passed an Air Buddy sign that said "Adopt a Buddy Today". It also means "Comrade" or "loyal companion". He is my shadow dog. He wants to be with you 24/7.

Mika is Native American and means "Wise little raccoon" and "Beautiful" She would put kibble in her water bowl and then fish it out like a raccoon when I show her at the breeders.

Tallulah is a rescue. Her name is also Native American and means "Leaping Water" and "Princess". She loved to investigate the dripping facet and would then jump in the air cooing away. She has a very bubbly personality.

My previous Golden, Lucky's, AKC name was Sir Lucky Goldwin of Cold Springs. Goldwin means "Golden friend.". Lucky lived up to his name we were to lucky to have know this wise and gentle spirit. We were lucky to have him.
