How did you pick your puppy's name? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

GeorgiesMomma · 03-27-2006, 04:08 PM

I had a dog when I was younger and his name was George, he was named after my uncle in Michigan where we got him from. Then my Yorkie boy comes along and I wanted to name him George since my George when I was little was my best pal

Now George #2 is my best pal and the love of my life

I will be getting another baby this summer (fingers crossed) and his name will be Ben (after the Pittsburgh Steelers QB, I am huge Steelers fan)

I named my little girl Lacey because, she loves chewing the lace on my bed Comforter.

RMKC · 03-27-2006, 04:18 PM

Well i let my Mom pick Rosi's name, because because Mom and i came from Germany and she was not realy an animal lover till she saw her and she goes : She looks like a Rosi not Rosie, thats how they spell it over in Germany, i didn have the heart to call her something else, she has been in love with her ever since !

LaviniaHyacynth · 03-27-2006, 04:20 PM

I picked the name Lavinia Hyacynth because I liked the idea of a very BIG name for such a little dog....I call her Vivi as a nickname for Lavinia

Our furbabies are named after alchoholic drinks. Bailey (Bailey's and coffee) Morgan (Captain Morgain). Funny thing is both of us drink very little. I wanted to name Morgan Brandi but being that is my best friends name I didn't think it was appropriate.

Oscar's Mom · 03-27-2006, 04:42 PM

I went over a ton of names in my head and then Oscar just popped into my mind and BAM! That was his name...he looked like an Oscar too! Of the names you have listed, I like Mr. Big...call him Biggy!!! Hope you enjoy your baby!!!

The breeder sent me a picture of her, and I just knew...Gracie! It was not until later that I remembered the movie "Love Stinks". Her cat; Grrrr-a-cieee (if you've seen the movie, you know). lol

jkat · 03-27-2006, 05:36 PM

I also went through a TONS of websites and baby names.

I wanted to name her Marcel, after Ross' monkey in Friends. My brother insisted I couldn't because it's a boy's name. After several family polls, Marcel was dropped (that's okay...a second yorkie is on the way

His name is Marcel).

Finally decided on Aggie, after my alma mater, UC Davis Aggies.

simonandhallie · 03-27-2006, 05:41 PM

Since Simon was an accident I had never thought about puppy names but once I met him I learned his little personality and originally named him Emmitt after Emmitt Otter's Jugband Christmas but that didn't really fit him so I named him Simon after Simon Cowell since they both talk smack a lot (haha). His full name is Simon Samuel Emmitt Foore (obviously NOT a registered name).

When I got Hallie she was 2.5 and I considered changing her name to Sadie but figured she had been through enough so her name is Hallie Ann Sadie Foore

alex99emmie · 03-27-2006, 06:45 PM

I got on the internet and looked under Yorkshire names - I found "Emma" and that was my mom's middle name (she is deceased). I knew she would love it that I named my puppy after her, and mom's maiden name was Simon so our little girl became Emma Simone and I call her Emmie. When our next little girl came along I went back to the internet Yorkshire names and found Isabella. One of my favorite shows is Grey's Anatomy and their Isabella goes by Izzie so our Isabella became Izzy B. (we changed the ie to a y.) So, we have an Emmie and an Izzy B. and sometimes they get called by each other's names but that is okay!! I know who I mean!!!

I got Parker from a lady who lived in Parker City, Indiana so we called him Parker.... I also liked the name Peanut. but we decided on Parker. My husband wanted us to call him biscuit. He lost!!! I love Greys Anatomy too!!!

gutu28 · 03-27-2006, 07:55 PM

Cali got her name after an amazing vacation to California I took with my boyfriend this past summer for my birthday..and since Im getting her from my boyfriends mom it all works! I still haven't decided on her AKC name yet, though..something along the lines of Sweet California Dreamin..

Yorkster · 03-28-2006, 06:56 AM

Same here, the name just comes to you because,you like it, something they do or their personality. I have to think about it until it just comes to me! '>))) Maybe some name based on a theme.

DianaB · 03-28-2006, 09:11 AM

I picked the name Reuger because a ruger is the name of a gun and I thought that my husband would get a kick out of it and I figured that if he wasn't going to be big he could at least have a name that sounded like it. Like if I were to call him over to me people might be expecting a rotweiler with a name Reuger, not a yorkshire terrier. His full name is "Diana's Nine MM Reuger". (The MM stands for milimeter.) My husband just loved it!

snickers mom · 03-28-2006, 09:17 AM

i have kids so i wanted it to be a "kid friendly" name and something real cute too... that and she LOOKS like a snickers bar...
