Is it a silly name? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

If the boyfriend is agreeing to another yorkie let him name it what ever he wants! Knuckles is a cute name, definately could be worse.

Knuckles is a great name...very original and different. I thought Oliver was an original name until I saw all of the Olivers on here!

I know huh??..loool

I should be happy even with the name pooper..lol..if that means we're getting another pup

I just talked to him and he was like "How about the name TUB, like tubby"..loool..he's really enjoying this. I'm really glad thuogh because then I know he wants him too, not just me. I don't know how I feel about Tubby, it's cute though.

That's a clever name Tonka Tank. My friend named his Bull Dozer & call him Dozer.

I absolutely LOVE the name Knuckles!!!! Go for it!! hehe

JiggityJig · 10-25-2006, 01:49 PM

Personally, I really like it! I like "tough" names for boy yorkies, and that's a cute and unusual one!

This is a cynical way to look at it, I guess, but who's paying? As in, if you and the boyfriend break up....who gets to keep the dog? That's who I think should name it what they want to!

SweetCuteness · 10-25-2006, 01:58 PM

I think it's a cute name!! That's cool of you to let him pick the name.

Well it really doesn't matter who pays for it as we plan on getting married, but if by some small chance we broke up he would never take the dog

as he wouldn't have the slightest clue as to how to care for him. He was not an animal person until he started dating me and I converted him

So I'm not worried.But he would be getting the puppy for me as a valentines gift, HOPEFULLY

I could pick the name but I want him to feel involved.

I LOVE the name Tubby!!!!!! That is the name of Auburn University's football coach. Tommy Tubberville and everyone calls him Tubs or Tubby. So, I love it! War Eagle!

I am partial to Tonka Tank if we are voting but I also think Knuckles is adorable. It sounds tough and sweet and the same time. Sounds like you and B/F will have fun with this for a while. We did the same with Ben -- he was actually Bruno for a day but I sort of knew that was not going to stick. When we tried "Ben" out on him, it just fit. So, you might want to pick a few names and then see which one works best when you meet him.

That is what I think will happen. We'll stick to like 2-3 names then decide based on the actual puppy

He's so cute though, wanting to be all involved..lol

Nuckles is a GREAT yorkie boy name. It is very original, so you won't have to worry about taking him to the park calling "Nuckles,come" and wind up with 47 1/2 dogs at your feet. Give that b/f a hug for naming the pup!

The only name that would be better would be Puffs then you would have Coco Puffs

LOOOL I like that but I have a feeling my b/f would have a tough time with his TOUGH BOY being called Puff...lol..I wouldn't mind, cause I'll dress him up with bows when daddy's not looking

I think it is a great name for a Yorkie!
