OK, I've had my Yorkie boys for six months and they still don't have names. I just can't come up with anything that I can stick to. I've tried: Austin, Aidan, Oliver, Holden, Jackson, Jacob, Cullen, Ethan, Jude, Jack, Henry, etc.... And I can't decide. I received them on 12/22 and by 6/22 I MUST have a name!

Lol, try calling them by different names and see which ones they react to best. We tried it with our Lulu and it worked.
We also picked up a theme — French Perfumes — and she is named after the LouLou Cacharel scent.
We are getting our second furboy this weekend, and his full name is gonna be Trésor (which means treasure in French, but is also a perfume). And Trezi in short.

Good luck!

I call them Little Butt and Big Butt, lol. I won't be checking them in at the vet with those names! I will keep trying names, but I have a feeling that I will keep changing.

Where are you getting your boy from? I think it is good when they have a companion!

I like Edward, since you seemed to be on a Twilight theme, maybe.

Breeze · 06-08-2009, 09:34 PM

I also think they name themselves, I always stressed over names and never once named them what I thought I would. Somehow they just picked their names once they came home.

this is hilarious!!! Well, as long as you know the difference between the two, right... LOL

I'm getting the new baby from a breeder in Los Banos. I think Lulu will like an accomplice, after she'll get used to the fact she's not the only princess in the house anymore.

I have heard that people are now choosing to name their pets more Human names, and the most popular ones. Here are the top 10 ! Of course you could always shorten these names ! I did that , to give you some ideas

Top 10 Names for 2008 Rank Male name
1 Jacob =Jake
2 Michael =Mikey
3 Ethan = ?
4 Joshua=Josh
5 Daniel=Danny
6 Alexander= Alex
7 Anthony =Tony
8 William=Will, or Willie
9 Christopher=Chris
10 Matthew=Matty

I personally love these names:

Harley
Ozzie
Prince
Eddie
Louie
Frazier
Pierce

Oh my!!! You sound like ME!!! I am due to bring my new baby home hopefully this weekend and I have been obsessing over her name!!! Every time I THINK I have the perfect name some one reminds me of so-and-so or says a nickname that I do NOT like and ruins it for me. I really wanted it to be unique yet "girly". We already have not 1 but 2 Bella's on our block which I loved the name Bella. Went from Paisley (I NEVER thought of Brad Paisley-I thought of the print) to Chloe (found out my sis-in-law's is Chloe and we DON'T speak) to Vada from the movie "My Girl" to Zoë. I also considered Hollis and I really liked it. Mercy was another one and IF she was a mix like a Morkie or Yorkie Poo it would have been Hemi-meaning half.

I have spent hours online at name sites!!! Once we bring her home I am wondering if Zoë will fit and I will stick to it? KWIM??? It is SO hard!! Harder than naming my children!!!

Yorkiekids · 06-09-2009, 07:46 AM

I like Jake and Mickey. Those are really great names.

I had 8 weeks to decide on a girls name. I would pick a name and somebody would make a comment and I would change it. The breeder had said that when I decided on a name she would start calling the puppy by that name so I really wanted to come to a decision. I like Zoey, Chloe, Tessie, Rosey, Roxy etc. and finally decided on Piper. I think no matter what you name your puppy after awhile that name really becomes them. I can't imagine Piper with any other name. So whatever names you do choose I'm sure they'll be the right names for your little boys.

I could have wrote your post. I agree though I think that once you make up your mind and stick with it there name becomes "them" and you can't imagine it any other way.

I have decided on Zoë who will be coming home this weekend!!! Woo-hoo!!! I can hardly stand the wait now that we are getting so close!!!!!
