Goliath, does anyone have a Yorkie named Goliath? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

kraekerr715 · 04-05-2005, 11:09 AM

I thought that name was so cute for a tiny Yorkie. I'm getting a girl Yorkie this weekend. I'm pretty set on the name Rylee. But, I was looking for names that mean large for her, but they're all pretty masculine. Monster, giant, etc. Just wondering.

I take Sully to work with me (I'm a newswriter) and all my newsroom coworkers tease him and call him "big" names like "Killer" and "Buck". It's really funny, but they adore him. He's our official "newshound". It's so fun! (And he's so well behaved...sits in my desk drawer and plays with his toys.)

That is so cute! I wish I could take my dog to work!

He is so cute in your desk drawer! I wish I could take Lillie to the office with me, but I work for an attorney (my husband is an attorney too. Everyone should feel sorry for me that I spend all my days and nights with lawyers!) and am meeting with clients all day.

My male Yorkie's name is Riley. The name Rylee is sometimes considered a name for a female only and other times considered a name for both sexes. It is Irish and comes from the Celtic/Gaelic name Riley suitable for both sexes. Both spellings of Rylee mean valiant/brave! If you are looking for a "big" name, go with Rylee because I'm sure your little gal will be very brave and have a big personality!

Hey, I'm a lawyer too and I take my dogs to work with me! If you worked for me I'd let you bring your yorkie to work. We'd set up a yorkie day care!!

Kraekerr715: Where did you get that adorable little yorkie character in your avatar? I thought I had seen them all but this one I never have. It's so cute!

kraekerr715 · 04-05-2005, 01:52 PM

I just did a search on the net "yorkshire terrier avatar", and found it at Yorkieplace.com. It'll be gone next week though. I'm getting my little Rylee on Friday, and then it'll be of her!

Hey SoCal! I used to live in San Fran for 25 years and worked as a paralegal. I'd be tempted to move back and work for you if I could bring Lillie with me!

Passionfruition · 04-05-2005, 02:09 PM

San Fran, really? My husband and I are considering moving there at the end of the summer! It's a big decsion, though, b/c a cross-country move is never easy, or cheap. But we are in love with the city and really-really want to move there, before we start having kids, b/c then we'll move back to Charleston, SC to be near my family

Any SF advice on affordable housing/jobs? My hubby and I both have our Bachelor's degrees.

Cheryl Field · 04-05-2005, 02:55 PM

I absolutley loved living there - it is the most beautiful place in the world! I was born and raised in GA, went to UGA, then moved out there. I only moved back to GA because I remet my high school boyfriend and moved back to GA and got married. I lived in Mill Valley in Marin County, just across the Golden Gate Bridge, and worked in The City. It is VERY expensive to live there. I paid $1500 a month for a one bedroom apt. What kind of work are you looking for? I was a paralegal and have lots of contacts in the legal community.

I think that is so neat about the name Riley. I never knew its' meaning. How appropriate for yorkies!

I had a friend who named her little dog Samson - I forget what kind it was, maybe a shih-tzu.

kraekerr715 · 04-06-2005, 08:44 AM

Ok, well Rylee it is! I hope she likes her name! Everyone seems to like it. Now I just can't wait till she comes home! SATURDAY! YIPPPPEEEE!

Sidney · 04-06-2005, 09:44 AM

I have a male who is around 12 years old now and he started out as Riley. ( thats what is on his AKC papers.) He was such a terror as a puppy the kids changed it to Cujo and it stuck. I love the name Riley...(Rylee)

Lucy's mom · 04-06-2005, 09:52 AM

This is so funny to read the posts regarding the name Riley/Rylee b/c my 5 y/o son's name is Riley. Also, I know there are a couple of people on this forum whose dog's name is Sophie which is my 3 y/o daughter's name. I just took Lucy (my 13 week old yorkie) to puppy class last week and there was a lady with a dog named Riley and another lady with a dog named Sophie. I just find that funny.
