ILUVSADIE · 08-15-2007, 09:15 PM

Sadie because one of my all time favorite songs is "Sexy Sadie" by the Beatles!!!

Peaches full name is Peaches N'Cream - She was named that cuz she is as sweet as a Peach with that delicate sweet personality that she has.

Rascal Bear- Well, he is a Rascal through and through and has a Teddy Bear face.

Baby Cuddles- She is just a tiny thing.. just under 3 lbs full grown. So as a puppy she was Very tiny. She acted like a little baby that loves to cuddle and still does.

Precious. - Well Precious is Peaches daughter. She was born on July 27,2007 and only weighed 2 ounces. My 11 year old daughter said, "Mommy, she is a Precious gift from God" so she said can we call her Precious and it certainly stuck and she is Precious.

Eury was named for one of my favorite ancient pre-Greek myths. Eurynome was known as Goddess of All Things by the ancient Arkadians. My husband thought it would be a perfect name for our little princess.

Our 3 cats have much simplier names. Sweets was named by my mom for her personality, she's as sweet and even-tempered as can be. Baby was 3 weeks old when I got her, her mother was hit by a car, and very ill. When I rushed her to the vet, the vet needed a name for her file, as she was so little she became, Baby. Tuffy was my husband's cat from before we were married. He said he picked that name simply cause it fit his personality.

I'm Italian, so I thought since we were getting a little dog we should come up with some tough-guy names, so we made a list. The list turned out to be entirely mobster names and then some cute names like Tucker and Charlie. When we picked him up we decided to see how he acted on the first day to see which name fit. About ten minutes into the hour long car ride home he was Vinnie, Vin for short. I got the idea for the name from the movie, My Cousin Vinny, but changed the spelling!

Teryn · 08-16-2007, 04:26 AM

I am a world traveler, so I wanted to have an international family. I am a Spanish teacher and completely bilingual in Spanish and English and can speak some Greek, Japanese, and French.

I named my first yorkie Chica Mia, which means "my girl" in Spanish because of my love and passion of Spanish culture and language.

I named my second yorkie Yoshi, which means "good" in Japanese. I went to Japan last year and loved it! Yoshi has Asian eyes, so it fit quite nicely!

My next yorkie will be Greek, then Italian, then Chinese, then French.

TinyBit · 08-16-2007, 05:13 AM

What a fun post.

My first was "Duke" or My Duke of York, Because he thought he was a BIG dog.

Now I have "Gizmo" or My Gremlin Gizmo, He looked a a Gizmo when I saw his first pics from the breeder. It fits him. but my sons said it should have been Spike the bad gremlin.

Then I got "Lacie" When I was holding her at my work, just minutes after the breeder left her, I asked a lady for suggustions on names and she said she was bad at nameing dogs, but turn to ask her granddaugter, Lacy, if she had any. Her full name is Victorian Lacie Pearl. and she is just as delicate as it sounds.

spoiled pup · 08-16-2007, 12:04 PM

Jack is named after one of the characters in The Importance of Being Earnest Jack Worthing. The character was found in a purse when he was a baby and was adopted into a wealthy family. He leads a double life, one as a perfect gentleman and one as wild child. This is one of my favorite plays and I just thought the double life thing was fitting for Jack since sometimes he is nice and calm and cuddly and other times he is running laps around the house and climbing all over everything.

WundrWmn · 08-16-2007, 12:18 PM

According to Webster.....,GADGET , concern, gimmick, gizmo, jigger, and I added whatchamacallit, doohickey, thingamabob,and most things small, this seemed to suit her perfectly when she was first brought into our home, and it STILL suits her at 14months. lol

Mom2Zachary · 08-16-2007, 01:35 PM

Zachary's name in Hebrew means "Remember the Lord". I had a list of approximately eight names and when I finally saw him, I knew I wanted to name him Zachary.

Chaser...since day one thats all she did, socks, feet, people, leafs everything.

Kiwiglaze · 08-16-2007, 03:56 PM

My husband and I are foodies, so we wanted a food related name that would "fit" a yorkie. After much deliberating, we came up with "Kiwi" after the kiwi-fruit. It was perfect because it was cute, but also descriptive. A kiwi-fruit is brown on the outside with lots of little "hairs" just like a yorkie. It is also an easy name for her to understand.

We actually haven't picked her registered name yet. She is going to be on a limited registration, so we have to get proof of her spay before we can turn in the papers. We're still deliberating on that one!
