Max was going to be Winston, Winnie. Dad looked at the puppy picture and said the name didn't fit. He chose Max, and I agreed if it could be Maximus for Russel Crowe's character in Gladiator. Our Italian neighbor called him Maximo and it stuck. We call him Maxman mostly.
Whenever Max is exhibiting his intensity, I pick him up and cradle him like a baby, and tell him we should have called him Winnie so that he would be mellow.
| I love the name Max. I know it's common, and all, but it's always been a name I've loved. My aunt has had two dogs named Max now though, and there was another Max in the family too, so it's kind of too used up in our fam for me to ever use it lol. I love that your guy is Maximo though, that's different!
Oh and I do love Winston. I think if I ever got a Westie or something, I'd love to call it Winston. Quote:

Harry was almost 'Alfie', but we have a tv programme over here with Alfie Moon in it - and Andy wasn't happy with that....:rolleyes:
So Harry became Harry, named after Andy's favourite football team's manager - Harry Redknapp.
Unfortunately, the manager has now changed - it's now Andre Villas-Boas aaargh!!! :eek:
So now occasionally you can hear Andy calling in the park...."Andre, Andre, come here Andre".....and the thing is - he does!!!! :eek: :rolleyes: :D Sally + Harry/Andre xx
| I actually love Harry a lot better than Alfie! I love that you have a dog named Harry, I don't think I've ever met another! Quote:

The people I got him from lived in the sticks and I think everyone has two names out there :p I was trying to come up with a name and my friends were over. We were sitting there and my friend noticed our painting of the skyline of Vancouver, Canada (dh's home). He said "How about Couver, short for Vancouver?" and I loved it. I love that no other dogs have the same name as him and it is easy to pronounce.
With Khloe, I did the opposite... I kind of regret choosing such a common name, but I sometimes wish I had spelled it Chloe so Couv and Khloe would have the same starting letter. I tried thinking of more city names for her, but couldn't come up with anything feminine enough that had meaning to us. I chose Khloe because her mom's name was Kelly and she had a really hard time giving Khloe up, so I thought it would be nice to give Khloe the K from her momma :)
| I am pretty much obsessed with Couver's name. lol. I LOVE unique names that most likely no one else is going to have but it's still not... too weird or out there or anything, ya know what I mean?? Yah, I definitely cannot imagine calling him Jim Bob, LMAO |
