When we got our little Yorkie boy, he was so small, about 1 pound. I thought anything that little needed a big sounding name to boost his ego. So we chose Samson. Little did I know that he was already a "big dog". It just took a couple of weeks for it to emerge.

My old roomate had a gorgeous persian cat named Chloe and I always loved that name eversince. I named my Chihuahua Tinkerbell because I just always wanted a chi named tinkerbell and now I regret it because of Paris Hilton. My husband wanted the name Penny for our Boxer and the interesting thing is her breeder lived on Penny Lane so it seemed like destiny that we picked that name

Its kinda sad how I ended up getting my Uno

I had been calling breeders and just getting information on yorkie pups, even though I figured I was never going to be able to afford one. So I called a guy who lived about 3 hours away and he told me the price and everything and I knew it was way to expensive for me, so I just told him I'd call him back. He called me back a few days later to tell me he now had a male and he was only 400$!! He had previously sold Uno to someone who was going to breed him and they found out he only had one testicle so they didnt want him anymore.

(I really dont understand how someone could keep something so adorable for a week and not want to keep him forever) But anyway, thats how Uno got his name!!I love him so much, and if it wasnt for his "lone testicle" he never would have come into my life =)

When I was 13 years old, a new girl moved into our block. She had an older sister who had a little girl named Desiree. It was the first time I had ever heard that name and (I don't know why) I just loved it. I proclaimed to everyone that my first girl was going to be named Desiree. Everytime I got pregnant my husband and I agonized over baby boys name because my girl's name was chosen years before. Well,, 2 sons later and many years later, along comes this beautiful little, teeny, tiny girl Yorkie. I took one look and said "This is my Desiree" hence..Desi.

I had Princess's name picked out LONG before I had her.
But my kids gave her the nickname Wookie, something to do
with Star Wars!

Hello,
I have a question for Trixie Bell's Mom, or anyone else who might have the experience of getting an older Yorkie female from a breeder. I am adopting a female, 3 yrs old, the breeder is selling her because she cannot stay pregnant. I am hoping she is sweet and loving as they tell me... What was your experience with Trixie Bell? I will not get my Yorkie for another month, since they are having her spayed first, but she has spent time in kennel for the first 3 years of her life. She deserves to be loved and pampered now! Any advice, Trixie Bell's Mom?

Koochie: my late hubby had a Silky named Koochie(cuz she liked to cuddle and kooch) in honor of Koochie1, I have Koochie2...she's 9 now

Gizmo: from the movie Gremlins

Lil' Bit: she was the smallest of Koochie's one and only litter. We'd refer to her as 'lil bit' and the name stuck.

2 big, outside dogs that we adopted...Bear and Roxie

3 cats...Feisty is our OLD lady at 12, Simba & Nala, who we also adopted were named by my daughter from the Lion King.

Chloebear · 01-17-2006, 07:49 AM

When I was pregnant with my daughter (now 5), it was a toss-up between Hayli and Chloe. We went with Hayli. It will be a few years before we have another child and there is no guarantee it will be a girl so I decided Chloe would be perfect for my newest little girl.

We came up w/Cash cuz of Johnny Cash... plus it was the only name that fit after toying w/a few....

cooper's mom · 01-17-2006, 08:20 AM

My little mans name is Cooper I got him 2 years ago......

We picked him from pictures of about 15 others. He was the smallest and I had a few names picked out before we actually saw him (he was the cuties one).... Long story short his name is Cooper (mini coop for short). Big heart in a little mans body. Ha Ha

Tommie · 01-17-2006, 10:01 AM

We had several names picked out. But if you laid him on his back he looded like Gizmo from the movie The Gremlins. So we decided that was it. His full name is Gizmo Mogwai, Mogwai being the name of the Gremlins before they turned into Gremlins in the movie. He is definitly turning into a Gremlin.
