How did you come up with your yorkie's name? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

JacksonsMom · 06-01-2006, 10:42 AM

My husband and I are both LSU fans- he likes football and I like baseball. My favorite football player is Chris Jackson, the kicker, who also plays third base. Jackson got his name. His middle name, Wiggles, is because from the day we picked him up, he has been a wiggle worm!

LIL MIS' MAGIC · 06-01-2006, 10:49 AM

Both of our girls are named after Jimmy Buffet songs!! My dad loves him and I have grown up listening to him and when I was little he called me "Lil Mis Magic" after one of the songs....so when I got my first puppy I knew just what her name would be. She is my first baby and I had to carry on the tradition my father gave to me!!

When I got my 2nd puppy, I wanted to keep the trend so we went through tons of Jimmy Buffet songs and I loved the name Sailor and so it stuck...and we later added Bear because she looks so much like a little teddy bear!!!

My baby's name, Tila (Tea-la) is short for Tequila
in fact sometimes we call her Tila Tequila
of coooourse later we found out...
Tila Tequila is actually a porn star or something
lol
but we still love it.

The rest of our family calls her Tiger for some reason!

also we liked that TIla is TIny and other cute things that work
it was a name we considered and when we saw her
it really suited her spunky personality and the fact that she's
ofcourse
adorable!

My first furbaby was named after Scarlett O'Hara from GWTW (I'm a HUGE fan) - Katie Scarlett O'Hara of Tara was her name and we called her Katie. Katie is now playing across rainbow bridge

I miss her so much even though she's been gone over 10 years now.

Now I have Gabby who's name is Gabrielle's Jewel (I liked Gabrielle and Jewel was her mother's name). Last year, we rescued Gage. Previous owner had just called him Lil Man and I wanted something different. Hubby was reluctant to let me keep him so after staying with us for a month on a "trial", hubby finally said we had to name him. I let him decide, thinking it would help him warm up more to him (and it worked!! - took a couple more months but it worked - he didn't like having 2 dogs in the house but he does now). He picked Gage because he wanted a "G" name to go with Gabby.

alaskayorkie · 06-01-2006, 12:39 PM

We got Eddie from a previous owner who was allergic to him. They called him Teddy Junior, nicknamed T.J. But T.J. is my wife's ex's name, so we changed to something that rhymed with Teddy.

Same sort of story for Jack. He was a rescue named Cuddles. Being a guy, I said no, no, no. Can't have a dog named Cuddles. So I went with the machoest name I could thing of at the moment, my favorite drink, Jack Daniels.

Jack since proved himself as an Alaska dog by wearing his booties and romping in the snow, so I changed his name again to Yukon Jack.

I was supposed to get a year old yorkie from a lady cause her husband didn't like the puppy, i asked what her name was and she said Izzy...i fell in love with it! Her realy name is Isabelle but it is Izzy to everyone, she is just the cutest thing and that name fits her perfect! i was thinking of either Daizy or Maizy (don't ask why the Z's) and when i heard Izzy i knew that was it!

baileysmom31 · 06-02-2006, 01:07 PM

That is toooooooooo cute!!!

LuvMySissy · 06-02-2006, 06:09 PM

When I first saw her photo I exclaimed, "what a little Sissy". I had been contemplating many different names, but when I said that, I knew that was going to be her name. And, my aunt (to whom I was very close) suddenly passed away last year. Her name was Mary Jane, but was always known as Aunt Sis cause my mom always called her Sis. So the name is also a tribute to my aunt.

YorkieGuru · 06-04-2006, 07:05 AM

When I first started talking to my husband about getting a yorkie he said you are "you are kidding right?" I have wanted a yorkie for as long as I can remember. I told him I was gonna buy my pup everything I could. At that time Louis Vuitton carriers were VERY popular. So I told my husband I was gonna get one for my pup. When I told him how much they were, his jaw dropped.

Soooooooo, after looking at different carriers, I found one that I liked. And of course it wasnt a Louis one. But my husband picked up my pup and said here is your Louis Vuitton. He wanted to name my dog that. I thought, wth. So I changed the spelling to Louie.

ARCHIE · 06-05-2006, 11:23 AM

I had in mind Chester if I picked out a male. I did pick out a male and my
3 yr old granddaughter Nicole was with me. She stated she wanted to name
him Buddy because he would be her little buddy. Who could argue with that.
So Buddy it was. Still like the name Chester though.

Tiki Barber · 06-05-2006, 03:20 PM

Tiki is named after Tiki Barber, the star running back of the New York Giants. My fiance is a huge Giants fan and I'm actually the one who thought of the name! Obviously he loved it instantly and the name couldn't fit better!

Kona · 06-05-2006, 05:40 PM

In Dec my bf and I were in Hawaii. While we were walking around Kona one day we thought that would be a great name for a girl dog. At that time, we didn't have any immediate plans to get a puppy. At first we thought that would be a better name for a lab. But after we got her, we couldn't think of any other names that we liked, and it fit her, so we stuck with Kona. Now the question is do we stay with Hawaiian names for the rest of our pups?

Always8 · 06-05-2006, 10:14 PM

I named my Dog's after my favorite racecar track, Talladega. So My little girl is Tali and boy is Dega.
