How Did Your Dog Get It's Name

I love hearing how peoples dogs got their names, so come on, tell all. Was it the look of the dog, a special feature, the colour or the personality that made you pick that name ?

Fernie was my 1st OES and my husband and I bought him between us for our 4th wedding anniversary. Neither of us could agree on a name. He wanted to call him Spangle, can't imagine calling that out in the park, I wanted to call him Baxter, neither of us could agree. In the end, as he was bought for our anniversary we decided to call him after where we got married ..... Ferniegair. So Fernie he became.
Two and a half years later we bought a new hooligan ... sorry OES puppy and he got what was left of the place name. Hence .... Gair.

So come on, spill the beans.

Rye is Mischran coming thru' The Rye after he Burns song.

Pellow his reg name is Mischran Zarak and we didn'tt want Tzar for a pet name so because when we were driving home from my Friend in Wales who bred him, 10 minutes into the journey he drooled so much that I said to my o/h My jacket is wet, the towels are wet and all down his chest is wet in fact we are Wet, Wet Wet so there it is Pellow naamed for Marti Pellow of Wet Wet Wet .

Brodie because I wanted him to be registered as Polinared Creme de la Creme pet name Brodie as in Prime of Miss Jean Brodie but Creme de la Creme was already taken but we liked the name Brodie and decided tyo stay with it.

Faun because when she was a puppy she reminded me of a little Faun.

and last but by no means least Keri my birman cat because of her startling blue eyes (after the Kerry BlueTerrier) tthough my daughter would say it is after The Kery grow you get for flowers LOL

Tonto was named after the John Smith's bitter Jack Russell...





And Inca's name was chosen before we even got her, Inca the Inuit. Which is just as well as she was called Sacha when we got her, which was our GSD that we lost, so we wouldn't have called her that.

I named Ellie because I wanted either an Ellie or a Phoebe. Percy was called Spanky when I got him but when I saw his KC name Schzade Percy Suede that was it. Liberty again was named after her KC name. I was going to call Wilson Willis but then Wilson popped into my head and that was it. Cooper was called Cooper because I used to groom a Lhasa called Cooper and I thought it was a brilliant name and when the breeder said it has to be soemthing starting with C it had to be. Parker because again I liked Parker after seeing it as a name for another poodle and I named Angel after Cooper/Parkers breeder because she helped me out with her!

Brodie after the village in Scotland where I had special occassions with my family + loved the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (like Lovezois) such a huge character with loads of strength. Like my lass.

Tikaani is Inuit for Wild Wolf. Unlike my Tikky who is the biggest softy that walked the earth.
