Please give me your honest opinion about naming a small BOY yorkie, Rainbow????
He will only be about 4 pounds when adult.
Rainbow???????? Is it too feminine?

teri88 · 07-21-2005, 10:40 AM

Personally, yeah i think it's very feminine. it's a pretty name for a girl though!

Lexi Rae · 07-21-2005, 10:40 AM

personally , alittle bit feminine sorry.

Deegan's mom · 07-21-2005, 10:41 AM

I agree with the last post. A cute name for a girl, but I don't think it suits a little boy. Sorry - hope your not mad.

Annadoodle · 07-21-2005, 10:42 AM

You could change Rainbow to Rainman....(like the movie)

JCarlson2004 · 07-21-2005, 10:43 AM

It's a very nice name but just a tad feminine. It sounds like a girls name. Here are a few cute boy names that I like:

Tucker
Logan
Hunter
Sammy
Blue

Good luck choosing a name!

I think it's too feminine as well but I personally like Mr. Big (from sex and the city) and if I get a boy, that will be his name. But if you like it you can use it. I also like Munchy, aidan, Coda.

Rainbow's a little too feminine for my taste! Unless it was spelled RainBeau and you could call him Bo...

ldstull · 07-21-2005, 10:47 AM

I agree it sounds a little girly to me.

wendybee · 07-21-2005, 10:54 AM

I hate to go against the tide but I think it sounds unisex. I personally love the idea. But if so many here think it sounds femine, change the spelling like Biddy's Mom says. I am on another forum and they all know about my dogs and I posted pix of Pirogue and they called him, her, sweetie and other femine adjatives(sp). Then after I posted again calling him, HIM, they were still posting about how pretty SHE is. LOL His name definately sounds more male than it looks. It is pronounced Pee-ro, or if he's being sweet Pier-o. But I really like Rainbow, now that someone has come up with the idea. Sylvia

ooooooooooohhhhhhhh I like the name Rambo! Rocky is cute too!

ldstull · 07-21-2005, 11:00 AM

I think Rambo is also a great idea! Or what about Red? or Buddy?

sillyjacki · 07-21-2005, 11:13 AM

I think you could do Rainbow easily...

Like his full name could be (your first or last name)'s Rainbow Sunshine or something... and you could call him Rainey (like the girl name Lainey Or Laney)

I think Rainey sounds like a little boy's name.
