What else were you going to name your pup? What were the other name choices you had..... For Joel it would have been something from Avatar: The Last Airbender either Aang, Sokka or Appa, lol Or Zac after Zac Efron (Hey, no judging,HAHA) But the second my sister and I thought of Joel(from Good Charlotte) we knew it was the right name:D |
Phoebe almost was a Chloe or Gracie:D |

Lexie was almost Lucy or Lily. Have a thing for L's :) |
Luma was almost Bijou. As in...I was deadset on it and told the breeder to start calling her that. Bf hated it...I think she's definitely a Luma and I can't imagine calling her anything else! Just don't tell DBF that...:rolleyes: Our new baby we are bringing home in April will be named Keaton, but we were also thinking of naming him Pixel. |
Before I adopted Dexter I knew that he was going to be a Dexter. I never had any doubts or a second choice. I had already had the name picked out, and the second I picked him out I knew that it was going to fit! Clyde on the other hand was going to be: Butler, Gerard, Julius Cesar, Cicero, Milo, and a couple of other Roman names that I can no longer remember :p |
Max was going to be Winston for Winston Churchill, with the nickname Winnie, which means friend. But, Max didn't look like a Winston so we changed our minds. |
Ruby Sioux was going to be Izzy, Deja (for Deja vu she looked like Lola), Pippa...the list goes on...a friend called me one day all excited saying she had found the perfect name...Ruby...the minute I heard it I knew that was her perfect name. Sioux came from my favorite college hockey team. Rosie's registered name is Little Mitzy Me. The breeder called her Mitzy- she refused to come to me with that name. So I tried to come up w a name that went w Ruby...the first time I called her Rosie, she came running. Rosie has "old soul" eyes and I love talking to her and looking into her eyes...its like she hears and understands even on bad days. That's why I think her name fits..Rosie just seems like an old compassionate sweet name. |

Luma is the name of a character in a videogame, Super Mario Galaxy...Luma is a baby star who is Mario's best friend. They're tiny, happy, and make little squeaks...just like my little Luma! Lol...:D Keaton sounds like a more normal name, but I got the idea from another videogame series, Legend of Zelda. Keatons are kitsunes...kitsunes are a mythical fox animal. ETA: Luma (or lumi) is also a photography term involving the brightness of the image. I just thought it was super cute and a happy name. :) |
Zeus was going to be Atlas...but we liked Zeus better for his personality |
Ugh...my phone autocorrected wrongly and I didn't catch it until after I had sent the message...sorry for spelling Luma's name wrong! No laughing here...I absolutely love how you came up with her name! |
Carmen - are you the video game fan? That's awesome! I was going to ask if Luma was named for the star but thought it was too geeky... :D |

Yesterday Luma's regular groomer was overbooked, so we just took her to petsmart for ear shaping, corner of the eyes, and nails...of course they called her Luna and actually asked me if I had typo'd my own dog's name on her tags. :rolleyes: |

We got Mandie from a couple who decided they didn't have enough time with their new work schedules to take care of her (she was only 3 1/2 lbs and 4 months old at that time). Her name from them was Sophie. I, actually, loved that name and wanted to keep it but hubby thought it was too Ritzy sounding for us country folk lol. I told him to think of names and call me when he thought of something. The phone rang and he said "Candie or Mandie?" I was outside at work so I started calling both names I like I was calling her to me. I fell in love with Mandie as a name. So, her "barely" almost other name was Candie. Her real other name was Sophie :) |

lets see Raelle was going to be Trinket Orion was going to be Onyx...thought it too harsh sounding, Royce, after my favorite car Bently, another fav car, Jaguar Jersey was going to be Jewels, Charm, Diamond for my fav gemstone, Thought the Jersey cow was black and white...turns out that's the Holstein...not call my pup Holstein, so Jersey stuck. |
Chloe was almost.....Peppermint Patty....On the way home I kept calling her Patty but as soon as my son saw her He said " Awww how cute Cunnin Chloe. The name stuck and her Registered name is Carefree Cunnin Chloe. |
ZoE was going to be Lexie...but my college-age son said Lexie is a stripper name....as there's been a Sexy Lexy at every strip club he's been to! I didn't dare ask how many he's been to :eek: |

Teeka Kiara was supposed to be Jazmine or Jazzy for short. Then my husband made up the name Teeka in remembrance of Tameka who had recently passed. I still love the name Jazmine! |

Lilo was almost named Kahlua after my favorite drink but we negotiated and she became Lilo Kahlua after my friend suggested the name Lilo after the spunky girl from lilo and stitch. I couldnt let go of the name Kahlua so we just added the two together. Leo was after Leonardo from ninja turtles and he was almost named Bently. |

Maddie was possibly going to be Annie or Abby. Or Madeline or Madison |
Coco Chanel came with her name (I love Chanel 19 too)?. My next one will be Guerlain if a boy (after honey's cologne) or Jazira if a girl ( from movie I can't remember). |
Tibbe was Tibbe from the start though about a week later, I begin to think Teddy would be cute for him since I make 5-joint Teddy Bears and collect them. But, Tibbe was already so strongly imprinted with that name in my mind, I couldn't call him anything else. |
I wanted "Jill" from the start as a tribute to a Yorkie I'd just lost. His name was "Jack," and I thought Jill was a good name to come frolicking after ;) But my wife wanted something fancier, more girlie. She said "Bijou." I wasn't a fan. I think the deciding factor was when I tossed the idea out here and on Facebook and everyone who knew Jack was overwhelmingly in favor of Jill. We settled on the full name of Jillian Bijou, and I had to promise to never call her Jill. Well, what my wife knows won't hurt her. :p |
