What are the stories behind your YORKIES name? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

jrkystofiak · 05-12-2006, 12:21 PM

My parent's yorkie is Hercules (since we all know yorkies are a big dog trapped in a little dog body), so I wanted to name our dog Samson (a Biblical character known for his strength). My husband didn't like that one. So the first night we had our baby, we sat in the backyard while he was running around and went through the alphabet and said the first name that came to our mind for each letter. We got to C, I said Cody. We continued on until we got to K. I said, why don't we name him Kody with a K, since our last name starts with a K? And so Kody was named.

I wonder if this is how we'll end up picking our first kid's name...

I was given my yorkie by some friends. They had bought him for their daughter, but she is allergic to him. They had already named him Tucker and I agreed that it was the perfect name for such a cute little thing! We have an extended family of dogs that includes a Jack Russel named Timber and a chocolate lab named Tyson, so Tucker seemed to fit the "family" names as well.

What great stories! I've enjoyed reading them all.

Ginger just seemed to fit, but I usually end up calling her peanut head...don't have any idea why

I was between Coco Chanel and Lola Anne, and I waited till I met her to decide. When I met her, I called out both names and when I said Coco Chanel she liked me with her itty bitty little tongue and I know that was it. Plus Coco Chanel one of my favorite designers.

Lola LaRue · 05-12-2006, 01:27 PM

I always name my animals by what rolls off the tongue. I kept singing Copacabana and she seemed like a Lola to me. Since all my animals have middle names I thought Larue sounded good with Lola. By the way, I now know that Tori Spelling's pugs anme is Mimi Larue. I did not know this when I named Lola. She became my showgirl. I liked the name Zoe to but my bf did'nt.

I wanted a "tough" sounding name so I decided on Reuger, which is the name of a gun (Ruger). I told my husband that when I call Reuger that people are going to be expecting a rotweiler to appear and that just because he is so small doesn't mean that he can't sound tough!! Well, I waited and waited before I registered him because I was looking for just the right "legal" name. His full name is Diana's Nine MM Reuger!! MY husband just loves it because he is an avid hunter himself. The name really fits him too.

I am such a Jessica Simpson fan...I totally adore the girl(her music and style)..That after watching Newlyweds I named Daisy after her Maltipoo...I know I am a looney...but what can I say...That's what it boils down to...

Mae means beautiful
MeeMee means little sister
Lung means dragon
Bao means precious
Ging means gold
BeeBee means baby
and... well.....

TingTing actually is my new puppy and I ran out of rhymes! LOL So I named her TingTing cause it sounded cute!

Lacy's Mom · 05-12-2006, 04:04 PM

K.C. is named after my two daughters.
K. is for Kayla and C. is for Chandra.

Lacy full name - Lace, Ribbons, and Bows - because I wanted something really girly.

Allie and Kelsey - no reason - just that is what stuck!

AprilLove · 05-12-2006, 04:22 PM

The day I picked out my baby, she smelled like that fresh April air, when spring is just starting, even though it was mid march. And I added Love to that.. well, because I just felt her love when I held her. Corny but I love the 3 syllabal names for the girls (AprilLove and Bitsy-Roo, my Maltese)

chachi · 05-12-2006, 04:28 PM

We were trying to think of something to name Chachi and the Happy Days Reunion show was on and there was a character named Chachi. My husband and I like the name so we named him Chachi. For Jewels my 5 yr old daughter named her. My breeder had a male dog named Jules and Alexa Rae must have really like that name so she was insistant we name her Jewels. We changed the spelling to a girls name obviously.

dejobink · 05-12-2006, 06:20 PM

We named our little 5 month old Yorkie Titus Jordan. "Titus" which is the last name of the breeder we bought him from. And, "Jordan" which is his mothers name. Titus is a tough name for such a little dog!

My little guy got his name from my husband actually. I have been looking and reading and talking to breeders for over a year. As I learned more and more, I kept telling my husband what I had found out or read, etc. His only response for a year was "We are not getting that little thing, it's "Not a Dog!"

When I finally got to see my little guy I looked at him and laughed and said I know exactly what I am going to call you - NADA! I had heard my husband say "Not a Dog" for so long, the first part of it just kind of stuck! I changed the T to a D to make it different.

People ask me all the time how I came up with the name and when I tell them they just laugh and laugh.

Note: our so called "Not a Dog" gets more attention from my husband than our children ever did! LOL
