What inspired your yorkie's name? - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

i tried so many names. when someone said nala i just let it go in one ear and out the other but then i realized nothing else fit her and the more i thought about the lion king the more it reminded me of my baby. she's a girly girl but also acts like a tomboy(beating her brother up, lol) and she always pounces around and acts like a cat.

My DH & I came up with the name Pixie long before we even started looking for a 2nd dog. We just were sitting around thinking that if we ever got a girl dog we would want her to have a really super cutsey girly name that wasn't a people name (my DH is highly opposed to naming dogs w/ people names, though I have no idea why.

) Since our Maltese is named Tuffy we decided that the name Pixie would be a perfect counter to his name. When we finally decided to get our Yorkie I was worried that the name wouldn't fit her personality, but we lucked out because she is such a Pixie. She romps around like she is sprinkling Pixie dust.

When I got She-ra, I thought she really looked like a princess, but I didn't want that to be her name, one morning, I was thinking about a cartoon I watched when I was younger called "She-ra, princess of power." She was also on He-man. So that was perfect for her, it wasn't original so I knew alot of people would'nt have it!!!!

I wanted to name Frankie something Italian, but every word I could think of was too long and had too many syllables so then we thought of a lot of the men in my family have Frank as either a first or middle name, and then we thought of Frank Sinatra. So we decided on Frankie and then instead of Ol' Blue eyes, it's Frankie Brown Eyes!! Also we all like yelling "Aye, yo Frank-Kay"...

I had a real hard time with naming mine which was strange to me because I never had problems with names before. I went from Bear, Toby, and another name I can't even remember now!

My husband just didn't think it fit so out of the blue I suggested CHico and he loved it so it stuck. On his Reg. he is La Chico Royal (The Little Royal), Royal coming from both his parents had it on there Reg. papers so I wanted him to have something of thiers.
But my little 2 year old Kayla still calls him Bob Bob for Sponge Bob!

Anyhow, I LOVED the name Esme. It's different and cute! So, we got Esme shortly after I finished this book, and that's the name she got.

I would actually like to contact the author and let her know she was so inspirational, I decided to name my dog after her! I would be so honored if someone named their dog after me.

I am a teacher too and when I found out the name of your dog I was like, I know that name from somewhere... Now that you mentioned the book, I made the connection.. I read it last year and its been a good motivational book for me because I am a teacher too

[COLOR=Teal]Our "Reagan" was born at the time of Ronald Reagan's funeral. We love the name and decided to name him in honor of the President! He is almost a year old and is the sweetest - and spunkiest companion! My husband spends the days with him and I can't wait to get home from school (work) to see the lilttle bugger! Maybe we should have named him "bugger

he looks like an archie, i live in queens right by where archie bunker used to live, and i LOVED archie comics when i was a kid...my boyfriend even has red hair. it just seems right.

Kiwi's mom · 04-20-2005, 07:58 AM

The wedding pictures are stunning. They have such a nice bohemian feel to them. You both look very carefree and happy. Congratulations!

My husband and I were originally going to name our puppy Truffles, as we are both interested in gourmet food. But we ended up getting a female instead of a male, and truffles didn't really work for a little girl. We figured that we will stick we the food theme, and Kiwi soudned very girly and diminutive. So now we have our Kiwi, and she really suits the name.

Marlee · 04-20-2005, 08:25 AM

Passion, your wedding was beautiful, just like I would have liked insted of the stuffy one we had...lol

Originally her name was supposed to be Sadie, or Princess Tia, but neither fit. I actully named Bridget by listing out a bunch of names I liked from a baby website ( I was frustrated with finding one on my own)Took them into the front room, and Bridget was the one she responded to, so it stuck.

Not so sure on the next litte guy, I love boomer, but who knows

When I got my little guy the money I bought him with was from birthday presents. I am a big baseball fan and so I started thinking about sports names. One of my favorite ball players shares the same birthday as I. So I picked Alex for Alex Rodriguez. The name stuck and he was the best present I ever could have gotten. Plus now, he is the mascot for my boyfriends fantasy baseball team.

We name Gucci after my sister yorkie boy. She had to sell him cause her husband is in the navy and they were moving a lot. I was so angry at her that she didnt let me keep him since we love him so much. At that time we decided that we were going to get our own "Gucci". So when we saw our little one, the first name that came to our mind was Gucci.

jackandjill · 04-20-2005, 10:39 AM

There are a couple if reasons that I named my little 6 months old today "Jack".
First, my name is Jill, and I am forever being asked where "Jack" is? So now I can point to my puppy and say, "there he is".
Being British I am still very patriotic to England, even though I have lived in America for 40 years and am a citizen. I am what Julie Andrews refers to as a Mid Atlantican. When I register Jack his name will be "Prince Union Jack" in remembrance of the flag that I was born under.
Reading the reasons for naming the yorkies is fasinating, and really
interesting to see what influences peoples lives.
Thank you for thinking of it.
Jack and Jill

trio · 04-20-2005, 05:25 PM

well he's the third born out of hs litter and my business associate came up with trio one night and it was cute, not too girly and i liked it. so trio is his name. the breeder was calling him number three for thse longset! lol

Mydogkelsey · 04-20-2005, 06:04 PM

I've always liked yorkies..obsessed over them and how cute they were before getting mine. I saw a little stuffed animal that was a yorkie and it had a name engraved "Kelsey" on it. So every since I saw it, i would always call the yorkies I would see out in public, pitctures etc. a "Kelsey Dog". So when I finally got Kelsey, there was no doubt I would name her that!
