Yorkie Names I'm curious to know how you came up with the idea for your Yorkie's name. I named my Yorkie "Otis" because I loved Beverly Cleary books as a kid, and one of my favorite characters was Otis Spofford. |
Yorkie name Our work is hectic and requires that we be in different parts of the country for 3 months to 2-3 years so we decided to name her Toto because we relocate so frequently that I am constantly telling my husband "Toto, you're not in Kansas anymore!" [AKC: Tyava's Out Of Oz, Toto] ... and she just looks like her name should be Toto! :cool: She is very small [3 lb] and is the best little traveler although she travels with more "stuff" than we do!! :rolleyes: |
Heheheh. We actually pre-named him Yoda a month or two before we got him. We were sure we wanted a Yorkie, but we actually were planning on getting a little girl. So at the breeder's, we registered his name and took him home. For the first few weeks, we really weren't sure if we named him right. But after the first month, he's the perfect "Yoda," from Star Wars of course. We always call Yoda the "old, wise man" too. :) And keeping with the Star Wars theme, when he was little, and all black and all fur, we called him our "little Ewok." |

I got Neesa just by looking at her. No real meaning or anything, perhaps I was thinking about Mona Lisa really fast and just shortened it to Neesa. :) |
Our new baby arrives saturday Saturday the 27th we will be picking up our new Yorkie-poo. He has been temporarily dubbed Spencer. At the moment he is all black with a little reddish brown around the paws and under his little head. He is the smallest of the litter. Any suggestions from you very creative yorkie owners? What do you think of Spencer? We have a cat - Simon and a Border Collie/Jack Russel mix named Princess. I originally was going to name him something like Spike or Butch just for the irony when someone met him. Any help? |
Spencer sounds great, maybe wait until you have had him a little while to name him? Congrats, Harvestwidow, and welcome to our Yorkie community! |
Ellie Mae just sort of came to me one day when I was thinking about names. Although everyone things its because of the old tv show "The Beverley Hillbillies". Destiny got her name because we truely felt it was destiny that we got her. Our breeder had two good friends fighting over her and she decided to just remove herself from all that drama and called me about her and even though we didn't have the money she allowed us to make monthly payments for her. That blew me away she would do that. She's an awesome lady. Shiloh got his name when I was coming home with him. We had a hour drive back to our place and a Niel Diamond song came on the radio. "Shiloh when I was young, I use to call your name", I just loved it and thought it fit him perfectly. |
My husband wanted something to do with comic books and I wasn't into naming him superman or anything. I always just liked the name logan and it worked for my husband because it's the human name of the wolverine in the X-men series. Which worked for me because he was my favorite character because hugh jackman is so hot. Plus the wolverine is the perfect mix of nice guy with a bada** side and that fits our little guy to a tee. |
I love it!! Quote:

Its funny how i always seem to put faces to a name, we were looking for a yorkie girl, and had a few names in mind, to me Chelsey was a pretty name that needed a pretty face, when i saw this tiny pick of the litter pup, i knew it was a Chelsey :p Chanel was our mothersday & fathersday gift to each other, we were married for one year when we got her, on my wedding day i used Coco Chanel products, thats how we named our baby Chanel :p |
Junebug, my Chizziewink was named after a Children's Book character. Two years ago one of the Georgia Book Award nonimees was the Chizzywink and the Alamagoozlem and I fell in love with the sound of the word Chizzywink. And when I found out that Chizzywink was another name for mosquito, it seemed so appropriate to name a little ankle biter Chizzywink -- her daddy's name had Yahoo in it and her mom had Bell and since I am a computer nut we wound up with CHIZZIEWINK ATYAHOODOTBELL LOL -- I can get silly at times -- what can I say, I named a mini horse Earlene |
When I was little my dad ALWAYS called me Lil Mis Magic and so when I went to go pick up Magic is was only appropriate to name her after that and she fits it to a tee...she is so much like it is scary at times....so when we got Sailor, we had a hard time trying to come up with something that would go together...well, Lil Mis Magic is a Jimmy Buffet song and so we decided to go for another song...so out came Sailor and she has been a joy!! I love hearing how all the yorkies names come to being...we each have our own story!! |
You know that is why I am so afraid to nail down a name. I'm afraid later I will find the perfect name and it will be too late. I love being creative and a little different. Is it OK for the puppy just to be the puppy for a while as we get to know him so we can name him appropriately? |
when we picked rosie up we had 3 different names none were rosie, but none seemed to fit then my mum said what about rose and i said ROSIE and thats how we got her name. over here theres a childrens programme called rosie and jim so if i get another yorkie it will have to be called jim, which was also my lovely dads name. wendy and rosie :rose: :yorkiesar |
I had Lexi for 2 days before I named her. I knew she was going to be my littlest Princess, so I needed something that sounded OK with princess. I also was told not long before getting Lexi that I could no longer have children, so I now needed a name that would sound good with Princess, and it had to be a people name. I love the name Alexis and even more so the Lexi. Her name is Princess Alexis Lynn Martin aka Lexi. I also have a name picked out for my next baby girl (but I can't tell it's going to be a surprize) ;) |
Precious I wanted a yorkie all my life. Never had dogs when I was young and at home. No such thing allowed in our home. I finally got my first yorkie when I was 52 :thumbdown for Mother's Day. I named her Precious because SHE WAS! 4 1/2 years ago I rescued Wendy! OMG that just did not fit our Sassi girl. She can play ball back and forth with anyone and she was a toot so we changed her name to Sassi! Now I have Sunshine! All our baby yorkies will carry Precious name is honor of her. On papers he is Strong's Precious Sunshine! Sunshine because I know Precious is at Rainbow Bridge with the sun shining on her! This weekend we will pick up our new baby girl, Rainbow! I am sure no explanation is needed for her name. By the way, they will also be called Raini and Sunni! |
I named my Golden Retriever Montana, I read it in a book where a character had a golden named Montana and I loved it. When I got my Jack Russell I had just been to Kansas to visit a relative and I loved it there, so I named her Kansas. When we got our shepherd he was supposed to be Wyoming, but hubby hated that and since it was technically his dog, I gave in. We couldn't agree on a name for him so we just left his registered litter name, Hunter. Now my Yorkie came along this past April and he was small but feisty, kind of reminded me of a macho man so I thought Indiana fit, after Indiana Jones and still keeping with my states names. Hubby didn't want another dog so I told him he could call him Indy 500 after the car races he loves so much, but he informed me the puppy was too small to be a 500 racer, said he looked more like a short track racer. He calls Indy, Short Track. |
You are all going to laugh at me! When I adopted Simon he had a different name that I didn't care for because it didn't seem to suit him. So after a few days I began to see his little attitude and decided to name him after Simon Cowell, the trash talking guy from American Idol! I'm not an AI fan per say but I like how Simon tells it like it is and oh how appropriate it has become (hehe)! Hallie is the name she had when I adopted her. I thought of changing it to Sadie (Simon and Sadie has a nice ring) but ultimately kept it. I call her Halle Berry ;) sometimes because I think she is that pretty! |
Rowdy is my husband's dog, I got Rowdy for him because my husband has a very serious chronic illness and is home alone most all day (while I'm at work) and cannot do much of anything except sit and read or watch TV. My hubby was very lonely; thus, we got Rowdy. We had him several days and tried out several names such as Skeeter and Chigger (I disliked both very much). We thought about Toto and several others but they just didn't seem quite right. After we'd had him for five days, my husband had to spend a couple of days in the hospital. One afternoon, a nurse told him he needed to walk all the way down the hall and back. He had all manner of tubes and machines that had to be rolled by the nurse in front of him as he walked. When she got everything all ready to go, he was standing behind her and she turned to him and said, "Allrighty, let's go Rowdy". He and I looked at each other and laughed. We both said, almost simultaneously, "Rowdy!" that's his name! And it stuck. We both love it and he is a rowdy boy - but he's also a sweetie peetie!!! :) |
My little guy was without a name for 3 days...My hubby and I couldn't agree on anything! After spening some time with his, I noticed he loved to chew on my shoes. I had been considering Ewok or Chewbacca but Matt hated the first and though Chewbacca was to long. He didn't want Puppy confused with all those syllables. He said, "Let's call him Chuy." and the name stuck. It suits him to a T. Tonya...yes, I AM Chuy's mommy! |
I'm not that interesting lol. I chose Sadie way before I even got her beause I just always liked the name and thought it was very girly and cute, and it means princess, which Sadie likes to think she is lol but it fits her prefectly. It was between that and Sophie, which is kinda weird because Sadie's sister ended up being named Sophie. |
My newest little girl comes from my own yorkie litter that I am keeping. Well she is such a fat... cutie that when I talked to her I referred to her as "my little cow" My youngest daughter was visiting with her family and heard my talking to this puppy and started to laugh at me and told me you can't call a puppy a cow, she would have to be a calf. So to make a long story short she has been dubbed "Magnolia's Miss Calfilena". My husband named the last yorkie I purchased in June. When she came home to live with us she adored my husband and would get in his recliner when he came home. They would play for awhile then she was off to her favorite spot on his shoulder. So she was named Polly. (referrence to a parrott) But Polly turned to "Magnolia's Miss Pretty Polyana as she is to pretty to be just a "Polly". I like different spellings of name as you can see. But that is the story behind two of my babies names. |
I came up with "Pippin's" name because (a) I'm a LOTR's fan and (b) he reminds me of the character; he's tiny, his ears stick up and he gets into mischief :rolleyes: |
Well our first dog's name was Tabasco, he was a silk terrier we got from the humane society. Not sure why we named him that...maybe cuz my husband is mexican, lol. And Skittles......no clue, I had a list of names and asked my 4yr old to pick a name from a list I had wrote up. I'm sure our next addition will have some sort of candy name! lol DaniBelle |
When we were getting our yorkie, it was supposed to be for my daughter. It ended up that she is really mine because I take care of her the most. But one day before we got her, my daughter said that she had been thinking of names for our puppy. I asked her what names she had been thinking of. She said "Sadie". I just looked at her and my mouth dropped because that is the exact name I had thought of. So we decided that that must be the perfect name. We had been to obedience classes with our other dog a few years back (yellow lab) and one of the dog's names there was Sadie. I think we both remembered that and liked it. Our yellow lab is Madison because that is the name of the city that we got her. |

Trixie was pre-named, as we got her about a month or so ago from a puppymill (she was used for a breeder) and we decided to just keep it -- as she had alot of changes and we didn't wanna change that on her at the same time too. But we added the little Belle part, where she's sometimes called Trixie~Belle! |
