How did u come up with ur babies names???
 

I thought this would be a fun thread! Ill share mine! Ive wanted a yorkie or a maltese since i was 8... my parents would say no no no so since then all i did was talk and talk about getting one. So I started working at a makeup store mind u at 17 I was still talking about my dog, and we got a new makeup called lola cosmetics so I said thats what Im gonna name my baby! ps finally got her for a 21st birthday gift!

It means

L- Love
o-often
L-lust
a-always:)

The night before we brought Biscuit home we still hadn't named him. We were going out that night and while driving down the highway we saw a billboard advertising the movie 'Seabiscuit' (the famous race horse). I looked at my husband and said "What about Biscuit?" He agreed and a Biscuit was born.

With Muffin we wanted to keep in the 'food' and 'pastery' theme so we named her 'Muffin'.

When CoCo came to us her breeder mommy had named her 'Rocha'. We had thought about renaming her Cupcake but she didn't look like a 'Cupcake'. One of our granddaughters suggested naming her 'CoCo' because it kind of started like Rocha and was still in the food theme (cocoa).

The breeder I got Mr. Biggs from was calling him Big Daddy. I thought it was so cute, since he was such a tiny boy. But I knew there was no way I was gonna go around yelling Big Daddy all the time. lol. So I came up with Mr. Biggs... not to be confused with Mr. Big from Sex in the City. lol. I knew I wanted him to have a big name, and I think I achieved just that. Plus, it's always good for a laugh when people ask what his name is and I say Mr. Biggs. :)

Piper was already named when we adopted him, so we kept the name, and Penny was called penny, because when we went to see her I found a penny heads up, and figured it was good luck. Sure was, because I got her that day.

Fitzgerald -- named for great American novelist and problem drinker F. Scott Fitzgerald.

:D I choose Gabe because of the archangel Gabriel in the bible who was HUGE and even though Gabe is tiny, he thinks he is HUGE as well.

I let my hubby pick Winston's name...how he came up with it is beyond me...but it fits, and I like it too!!!

Well I am a big New York Yankee fan and I will be naming my little guy Jeter because Derek Jeter is my Favorite player.

I have been wanting a Yorkie for a very long time but we rented from a place that would not let you have pets. We moved into our own house last August 28 3 day's after we got the key's. My husband tells me in January that I could get a puppy.After working with a breeder since May we are hopping that we get a boy out of the litter that is due September 25. So Jeter should be ready to come home in December around the 16-23.

He is sooo getting his own #2 Yankee jersey too!

I called my youngest yorkie Rubi because she was so precious and sweet that I thought the name of a precious stone would suit her just fine.

And by the way the yorkie in my avatar is not Rubi, her name is Gordita (little fat one in Spanish). Her kennel name is Zingara but they called her Gordita because she was quite chubby when little not because she was overfed but because she didn't get around much.

My previous three dogs were all C's Cindy, Candy and Chicco, so after they all passed on, we decided to get another yorkie,( I had one thirty years ago!)

We called her CoCo Chanel and then three months later we got our little boy, didn't know what to call him as all boy names with C didn't suit him. One day he put his nose in my coffee cup and that was it - Coffee.

Just popped in my head

before i got Caden, i was looking for a yorkie on puppyfind . com. most of them already are named by the breeder mom. so ... one day i was looking for a puppy and one was the cutest yorkie ever on that site and his name was Caydin. i loved (and still do) that name so much ! s0o ... i enjoy being unique, so i got a (different) puppy from brooklyn and named him Caden instead of Caydin. (i like unique spellings cause my name is Kelli not with a y or an ey) . and all my friends like that name, too!

I used to live in England UK with my husband and there are always loads of sheep which I love, well I started to name the ones that lived around us and when I moved to the USA my brother in law sent me a stuff sheep for my B/Day for which I called Murphy.

When I got my Little Yorkie I looked at him and knew right away that he should be named Murphy after the sheep I so loved. It fits him to a tee, because he is always getting into my stuff sheep collection and playing with them.

Chief Wezser Penizer Aka Wee Wee
 

CHIEF WEZSER PENIZER AKA WEE WEE is on his AKC register papers. Chief is kansas city chiefs wezser came from the movie steel magnolias and penizer just rimes with wezser. But we call him Wee Wee. He is no Wee Wee his is 25lbs. But I love him more then life itself.

Our middle son "surprised" us Christmas 2006 with Moose :D . He had named him already. My husband always said, "we will never have a lap dog!" We've always had big dogs. My son said with naming him Moose, at least his name is a "big dog". Moose is a moose of a yorkie!! lol and we couldn't be happier!!:D

A lot of you have great stories and places where your name came from... The second we first saw our baby, the name Peanut just came to me. It's not too original, but it's our baby's name. The wife gave him an extended name Peanut Pooh Bear. We call him Peana-Poo a lot!

And of course bear, cuz we all know when they are standing up using their paws, they look like little cute grizzly bears... ROOARR!

Violet
 

That's how it happened with both of mine too. Next one will be named Lacey.

Higgins was sooooo little......
 

Higgins was 7 1/2 weeks old when he chose us. We had gone to buy a female from the breeder, but the little girl wasn't the least bit interested in us and Higgins was all over us with joy in his heart....well....I mean....who could resist? We had about an hour drive home to the campground we were spending the winter in, and discussed names. He was so little. Both of us thought of the name "Magnum" at the same time. But then we looked at him and decided that just really wasn't the right one. But remember Magunum P.I.? And the very English butler named Higgins? Yorkshire Terriers are an English breed, so we thought that a nice English name might encourage him to have nice English manners. HA!

I've had a lot of dogs and various pets and three children, but none can hold a candle to the love I have for this, my last little baby! LOVE MY FURBUTT!

I was also going to name my little guy Jeter. My sister said she was going to call him Jeter Skeeter. When I got Conner, I thought he might already know his name so I kept the name Conner that the breeder gave him. Alas, he really did not know his name, but it was too late to change.

We came up with the name Emma in the car on the way home from picking her up. I wanted to name her something with "Emerald" in it, because I was born in May, and that's the May birthstone. We thought about naming her "Lily" because the flower for May is the Lily of the Valley, but my husband didn't like that-too foo foo for him, I guess. I also liked Daisy-my favorite flower, but again too foo foo for him, and Jessica Simpson named her dog that :thumbdown . The final criteria was that we wanted it to be "royal" because we knew our new puppy was going to be spoiled, so we came up with "Suzy's Emerald Princess", or Emma!

We had a few different names in the running for our second Yorkie: Dori, Milli, Hannah, Pearl...but wanted it to fit with the theme of Emma's name, at least somehow. I liked the name Dolly too, but my DH wasn't sold on it. We decided Hannah was a good name, but it was more of a "people" name, and it sounded too much like Emma when calling it. Dori we really liked, but it's one of the friends' names on Finding Nemo, which could be ok...We wanted to see her before deciding on Dori, Milli, Pearl or a couple other names we liked too. After we saw her and got to know her a bit, we decided to name her "Suzy's Million Dollar Sapphire" (Milli). Sapphire is my husband's and my mom's birthstone. I joke that we should have named her Suzy's Million Dollar HEADACHE! :p

We named Gracie Mae because I just liked the name. Hallee Ann got her name because we got her around Halloween(Hallee pronounced like Howlee) and Ann is because she was my anniversary present.

names
 

I didn't get either of the names i wanted. Our yorkie is Zoey and our shih-tzu/chihuahua mix is Boston. I wanted to name them cocoa(because she looked like a cup of hot chocolate with her brown/tan/white and wanted to name our boy Pudge(for Detroit Tigers Pudge Rodriquez) but the kids won and we got Zoey and Boston:)

Otis was gonna be Tucker, but then he didn't look like a Tucker. I had a poodle a few years ago named Chloe, and one of my friends always called her "Otis". Everytime he called her that I cracked up. So I thought, do you look like an Otis? and he does.... Oliver was almost Oswald, but I didn't want people to call him Ozzie. I wanted something that went with Otis, so Oliver it was.

Milo didn't have a name for quite a while after I got him. My boyfriend and I kept disagreeing on names. We were considering Dexter for a while, but he didn't really look like a Dexter. Then it came to a toss up between Milo and Oliver. After a couple of weeks of calling him puppy, I ended up naming my little baby Milo after that really cute Jack Russell Terrier in the movie "The Mask". Plus I totally adore actor Milo Ventimiglia, LOL...

I wanted a nice english name for my little british dog :p and I enlisted my co-workers to help me come up with a good name. One day one of the guys from the office just happened to get off the phone with a Mr. Tetley of the famous Tetley tea family and said 'how about Tetley?'. I loved it and it stuck. (oh, and BTW, my co-worker did eventually tell the guy that some crazy chick from his office named her dog after him) LOL!

I get compliments all the time on how original and fitting his name is! Also helps that Tetley IS my favorite cuppa tea. ;)

My girls already were named. I wish they had more girly names though.

Well Buzz was not the name that was 1st giving. My hubby wanted to name him ruff ruff so I had to do something to change this before he sent his paper work in. We are Disney fans so I started a search on Disney pet names.
As we went down the list we would call him by it to feel it.
As soon as I said Buzz his ears went up and It felt right so there you have it

BUZZ!

named after Toy Story for My Toy Dog!

I came up with Sir Cody Blue by going through his parents pedigrees and picking names that fit, I gave him the Sir because his mom and dad are prince and princess. Although he has been called coconut, coco bean, boobear...........
