What inspired your yorkie's name? - Page 8 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Honey's_Mom · 06-08-2005, 06:08 AM

My husband and I had Honey's name picked out long before we got married. Her full name is "Honey Magoo" and Magoo's was a restaurant in Chattanooga we used to go to all the time while we were dating. They had the best chicken fingers and honey mustard dip. One day over lunch at Magoo's, we were making future plans like young dating couples do and I told my then boyfriend, now husband, I wanted to name our dog after something sentimental to us. That's how we came up with Honey Magoo! Seems silly to name your dog after food, but when we finally picked her up years later after we were married, we always knew that's what her name would be!

By the way, passionfruition, my husband graduated from Carson Newman too!

I love this story. So romantic. I love the name too. Honey will always be a reminder of your love for each other. Oh by the way is not silly at all.

My husband is really into Jeeps & several of our animals have had references to Jeeps in their names. Naturally when my husband mentioned Jeeps again I wasnt to thrilled. However this time he said how about Willy, and I thought he kind of looked like a Willy, so that stuck. And he is registered as Willy Overland. (Which is a old Jeep, before they were called Jeeps.)After we got his papers back we found out that his fathers name is also Will. So it fits him perfect.

When I started wanting a Yorkie, I made up a list of 20 girl names, and 20 boy names. When I got my little girl (nearly 10 yrs. now), That evening and the next day - we "tried out" names. Little tiny thing at 6 weeks - when I got to the s's - she started cocking her head - and when I said Sabrina, here she came!

And no, she doesn't come now when I say Sabrina, come - she heads in the other direction - oh well, I had such hopes.

My fiance wanted to name him after beer! He wanted to call him Carlsberg, but I said no way! Then he said 'Buddweiser', and then my daughter suggested Bud for short - then we settled on Buddy! (his middle name's 'Bramble' though, which is what my son suggested!)

Olivia's full name is Olivia Nannette Eny.

One of my best friends was scheduled to be induced to have her baby the day I was getting Olivia. This is her 4th child and she and her husband had no names picked. Her other kids have older, more traditional names and she was hoping to go with the same theme. My boyfriend found a website to search for the most popular names by decade and we began looking in the early 1900's for names and found Olivia. She rejected Olivia and it stuck with me. It was between Olivia and Lola, but she just looked like an "Olivia!"

My Olivia is a Brazillian baby and was given the Braziliian registration name Eny. The "American" name given to her was Nannette. I thought this sounded cute with Olivia and it stuck.

Coincidentally, my cat's name is Theo. So, we have a whole Cosby's theme going! (Olivia was played by Raven Symone)

I have not gotten my yorkie yet but have put down a deposit on a female yorkie. I named her "Muffin" in remembrance of a chihuahua I had as a kid . Unfortunately Muffin was run over by a car which broke my heart. I named her for the old Muffin I once had.

My 19 wk old puppy's name is Miso. My cousins and I both got new puppies and the other puppy's name is Mochi, and in order to keep with the M tradition in rememberence of my recently passed away uncle's name which started with M, my family picked Miso...not the soup, it stands for smile in Korean

The bad part is though everyone gets the two dog's names mixed up haha

When we first brought Sami home he reminded me of a little chinese boy(because of his little eyes) So we named him Sami Yin he is my little samurai

Hi there,

I just got my pup a week ago Friday, and we named him Deegan. My boyfriend named him that because he's a total motorcross freak, and Brian Deegan is one of the pro riders. I wasn't crazy about the name in the begining, but now I love it - it's original!

I always wanted a Westie. I fantasized about little Jack. Until....

One day, about 2 months ago, I was watching TV. A commercial came on for Green Beans--- the ones in the can. Well, the Jolly Green Giant was talking to his little friend "Sprout." At that Moment,I looked at my husband and announced: I am getting a Yorkie,and his name will be BeanSprout.

A month later,a breeder called to say she had a little boy that she could not breed due to his large size....

He is sitting next to me on the bed now!!

I am in love
