Naming your Yorkies - how did you come up with yours? - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Draco is named from my favorite characters in Harry Potter. He was also up for a quite a few David Bowie related names that my family shot down. But now I think it fits.

The character is kind of spoiled/bratty which is definitely Draco. But the character was also my favorite for how complex he was. Sirius, Remus, and Dobby were also up for consideration lol.

Love reading all the stories on names.

I love of shopping at Macy's so I had the name Macy picked out long before I got Macy. Her full name is Macy Merry Dawn - Macy after Macy's and Mery Dawn from the kennel she came from.

When I decided to get another Yorkie I wanted another "M" name and I couldn't decide on Molly, Morgan or Mya. When Deb "Amazing Yorkies" sent me an e mail with Molly's picture, she looked like a Molly to me. I call her Good Golly Miss Molly.

I named mine Si, after Uncle Si on Duck Dynasty - Looks just like him with silver hair and beady eyes, his personality is like his too!

Mine was Zsa Zsa, becasue when I was a little girl I loved a movie happily ever after (the continue story of snow white) and one of the characters I loved was a fairy named Blossom, and the voice was from the actress Zsa Zsa Gabor ! (which i looked in the vhs movie packing) and she looked so motherly like and elegant and gorgeous and I fell in love with her & the name... so that's why I named her like that .. reminds me of my childhood innocence and ofcourse the elegant and stong independent and sweet actress...

Zsa Zsa has a longer name but ill explain later :P hehe

I think someone here mentioned the name Charlie when I was trying to think of a name. I almost named him Cody. As soon as I heard Charlie I knew it was a match. Sometimes I even call him Charlie Brown as a nickname.

I was into a show called The Sanctuary (syfy geek...

) I really liked the character Helen Magnus. I was drawn to the name so I looked up the meaning. "Great" Thought it was perfect fit for my boy! Plus, I enjoy some of the reactions I get when someone asks his name. LOL

I originally was going to name her Twix, like the candy, because of her tan and black coloring when she was a baby. However, before we picked her up at 16 weeks, we watched a movie called "Hachi, a Dog's Tale" based on a true story (be careful if you haven't watched this movie yet, have a box of kleenex ready). Sachi's name was inspired by this movie. My husband liked Hachi but because the dog in the movie was a boy, I couldn't get away from associating Hachi as a boy's name. As such, Sachi came to mind. Sachiko also means child of joy and she truly is a joy!

Our first yorkie was name Choo Choo because my husband loved trains as a child.
