how did yo pick your yorkies name help i next year i want a girl yorkie but i cant think of a name i like the names fancy and diamond but im just not sure did you name your dog first or do you get to know them and then name them ? we have 2 cats named bony and clyde i named them that5 the first time my eyes met there eyes i said they are going to be partners in crime 2 cats i can see it now and thats how i came up with that but 1 dog just not sure what to name her and i only want a girl. |
LOL.cute names and it sounds like it fit them well. I named all of my dogs after my angels. Family members that are no longer with me here on earth. That way I feel like a part of them is still here with me. Good luck in find your puppy a new name. |
I had a short list of names that I liked, and then when I saw each one, I knew which name "fit" them. |
Just like parents to be sometimes do...I had a boy and girl name picked out before hand. I only had a boy name because he was named after a character on CSI:Miami. I never expected to use it because I wanted another girl. It didn't work out that way and I'm so happy with my boy and I love his name. I feel it fits him perfectly. |
i love the beach and wanted beach names. |
I do not have my puppy yet, but I have had the name Jeter picked out for him for the past 2 years now. I like the New York Yankees and my Fav player is Derek Jeter so I picked Jeter for my puppy. I am working with breeder and will be getting Jeter around December. My husband said that maybe when Jeter is 6 months old we can get another boy! My sons want to name that one Pablo! Don't have a clue how they came up with that one Lol! |
My girl was named after I got her. The name I picked out before she came home was Cocoa but then I changed my mind after seeing her. Her name is Ellie May and we started calling her Ellie Belly. She is also called Butter sometimes (I think that came from an expression we use around here "she's turning to Butter". So her AKC name is Ellie May Butter Belly. |
Daisy's mommy's name was Blossom....I wanted a flower name. I named her a few minutes after I saw her at 5 wks old. |
I knew that i was going to get a boy and i always wanted the name Rocky since he's little not that little 8lbs 4oz but i wanted a little dog with a big name! |
Both my partner and I are HUGE Marilyn Monroe fans - so we named her Norma Jean - and call her Jeanie for short :) And we had picked that name out before meeting her. And it suits her so well! |
I named Wobie because of my favorite book/movie as a child, "Charlotte's Web." Its about a pig, and his name is Wilbur, and that is Wobie's first name. Unfortunately, the boyfriend had to have a say in the name as well, and he decided to include Obi Wan from "Star Wars." So his full name is Wilbur Obi Wan Zebediah. (Zebediah is to honor my cat that passed away recently.) But we call him "Wobie" as a combination of Wilbur and Obi. So I have two suggestions. Think about movie and book characters that you like. Also, if you're torn between two names, just combine them and make something really unique. |
When I get my yorkie I'm going to have a list of names. Bases on its personality I'll pick one. For my cat we were told by my moms friend who gave us the kitten that it was a female and so did the first vet. The second vet told us he was male. He was originally Delilah when we got him. Then Sunshine and finally when we found out he was a boy Pumpkin. Hes an orangy strawberry blonde cat born on Halloween. So his name fits. |
These weren't yorkies but they are dogs I had in the past. Toby was a German Shepard mix. I took the name from a story book character that I loved as a kid. When I was a kid a neigbor had a beagle named Muffin, Muffie for a nickname. I always wanted to have a dog names Muffin, so I named my brown Lhasa Apso muffin. She looked just like a muffin and it fit her so well. |
My daughter came up with our little girl's name. It is Sophia Rose, after our two favorite characters on the Golden Girls. That is her registered name, but she is Sophie to us.:) |
Jeter's full name on his papers will be Sir Jeter Pendragon Petrick. Pendragon is from King Arthur, wich is one of my favorite stories. My mom named her first girl Chanelle after the perfume, full name is Chanelle li'l Nellie Sweet Pea. Her second one is named Sindy Lou Who from the Grinch who stole Christmas, Her favorite holiday show! Sindy has a flower in her name as well but I can't remember what it is! |
I'm a big baseball fan, so I named mine after our baseball field, which is called "Jacobs Field"....but, everyone calls it "the Jake" for short. So, I named my yorkie "Jake".:) Good luck finding the right name. I know it sometimes takes time to decide. |
my girls are named Monday and Friday ... need I say more? |

I think that when you come across that special name you will know that is the name to go with! You won't think any other name will do! Good luck! |
Well when I got my first yorkie he looked like an absolute Teddy Bear so that's why I named him Teddy. And he was all cudly and cute. Then when I got my female I already had London picked out for her cause she looked so delicate and dainty in pictures and when i met her she really was like that, real feminine and girly so I stuck with that name and i still love it :D |
I somehow got into the alcoholic theme with dog names, First there was tequilla ( the chihuahua) then Brandy ( long-coated chihuahua) and Tia (think Tia maria's) my shih tzu/maltese cross. Now I did try and break away from this trend , I had wanted to name the new pup Abbie but everyone hated that name.. ( hey..I know ..I thought Abbie was a great name too!!) SOOoo going down my list of alternate names.,all of which got shot down ,Remy ( Remy-Martin) was the last name on the list and go figure that was the one everyone liked. SIGH! I guess Im stuck in this trend for awhile longer...but I did try (man!... I still think Abbie was a great name! ):D Eileen |
We had originally named are dog PJ. To make a long story short, we bought are dog for my son. He was on foot, and ran over by some idiot, that hit him and just kept going. My son had a very long recovery. We got PJ when my son was learning to walk with a walker. He and his girlfriend went walking down the hall, and PJ would not move from in front of my son, so his girlfriend would take her foot and gently push him forward. She came running in the kitchen and said lets call hin Scooter, when I push him he just scoots along. So he is now Scooter, which I call him Scooter bug. Kay:woof: |

I searched lists of names. First, I tried to go with words from various languages that related to yorkie traits, but that didn't work for me. I just kept looking. Every time I saw a name I liked, I jotted it down. I asked people what they thought of this name or that. Finally, I just settled on Gizmo for him. It just seemed to fit him. (I knew him before I named him since I was visiting the breeder once a week for several weeks.) The interesting thing about his name is that AFTER I got him and researched the pedigrees of his parents is that at least four of his male ancestors were Gizmos. I thought that was pretty cool! So, you might want to look at the pedigree and consider a variation of a family name. :) |
I've always loved Anna Nicole Smith and her recent passing upset me and my mother, also a fan. I thought her life should be celebrated, not her death, so I named my dog, Vickie Lynne, Anna Nicole Smith's birth name. |
little boy and girl names! I liked a name "Chibimaru" because of a character in the Sanrio. http://blog.sanriotown.com/blog/2007...and-chibimaru/ Chibimaru means "small and round" just like my little boy! I picked the name before I found the little boy. |
Piper got her name after hubby thought her colors were the same as the sandpipers down here. She scurried around like them also. Max, hubby named again, Maximillion. He said after having 3, he's gonna cost us a Million. |
My little girl's name... The minute I held my little girl (she was 10 wks old and is now 6 y/o) I knew I would name her Kizsez b/c that was the first thing she did...she Kissed me!!! She's been kissing me ever since, nonestop and I love it!!!lololol.... |
