Naming your Yorkies - how did you come up with yours?

[JuliannaB]

I thought I'd start this fun thread on how we got our furrbaby's names. I find it interesting how people came up with the name. My Bailey was named so because when he joined our family he had mostly black hair, with a bit of beige. As I like Baileys Irish Cream from time to time, and the beige reminded me of Baileys, I decided on to name him that. Hindsight, it is usually a girl's name, so most people assume he is a she. How did you come to name your YT what you did?

Gizmo came from the movie Gremlins since Yorkies have that similar look to the gremlins, before water touches them of course, we went with that. Well Gizmo is a super ball of energy and always causing lots of mischief and getting into everything that he shouldn't so he lives up to the Gizmo name.

Cici was adopted at 3 months and was already named so we didn't pick that one.

So true! Some of the YT'ers I've seen have that similar look to gremlins, while others really do look like gremlins. Looking forward to hearing from others on their names.

I am obsessed with the movie Legally Blonde and when I first got Ellie she was so prissy and girly and I didn't want to call her just Elle so I added an I and that's how I got her name. It just seemed to fit! And she was my little saving grace so that's how I got Ellie Grace! And I always loved the name Lilly Anne and she responded to that immediately after we called her that so that's what stuck!

I named morgan after Derek morgan of criminal minds

Dallas came with the name, and I liked it so I didn't change it. Rory got hers because I wanted a little girl to be my princess. The most obvious princess name I could think of was Princess Aurora, so that's what we called her but over time it became Rory, which also works because we loved Rory from Doctor Who. lol She got her middle name (Jayne) because my daughters' names are Brittany Layne and Sierra Shayne and we decided to make hers rhyme. Jayne was a perfect fit. So now she gets called Rory Jayne most of the time. She only gets called Aurora when she's in trouble. :-P

The name Bronx came to mind from Bronx, New York I think it fits his personality he is so aggressive to be so Tiny! I'm planning on getting a girl and naming her Harlem or Brooklyn!

[Maximo]

My dad suggested Max because he thought he needed a strong name, because Max looks intense and serious. I agreed if it could be for Maximus from the movie Gladiator. Our Italian neighbor pronounced it Massimo, "The Greatest." We changed it to Maximo.

Teddy was named for Teddy Roosevelt because he loves the outdoors and is energetic, loves life.

Nice! I just started to watch this show and love it I find the acting very good and the way that they shoot it is done well too. I know that I am watching reruns but that's ok with me. It's practically on here every night so no shortage of shows to watch.

I love all the different ways and associations that were made to name our little guys

Love the reasons. How fitting for the girl names My 7.5lb gets his 'Cugo' on when he meets larger dogs. Unfortunately it is for good reason, as he got bite a couple times by them At first he is friendly, but when they show interest that's when he goes Cugo. I guess it's the 'big dog' mentality in him. haha
