Dexter (Lab) = after the main character in the book 'Darkly Dreaming Dexter' by Jeff Lindsay. Dexter is a 'dark' character; my Dexter is a dark (black!) dog. It was going to be Dexter or Cash (as in Johnny Cash, the man in black...so the dog in black!). The next black male dog I get will be named 'Cash'.
Bo (Slovakian RHP) was going to be 'Indie' but I didn't think the name suited her. Her mum was 'Violet' so I thought of the character Violet Beauregard from Charlie the Chocolate Factory; one of my favorite old films. So, she became Bo! I chose to spell it 'Bo' instead of 'Beau' as I thought the latter was the more masculine way of spelling them name.
Tilly (Yorkshire Terrier) was named that because we liked the name. I call her Tiny Tills. It just suits her.
