When we got Miley her name wasTillie.
Tillie was a sweet name but my granddaughter has a speech impdediment and Tillie was a name she couldn't say so we went though some names that she could say and would still be close to Tillie. Miley won and we actually call her Miss MiLey Moe and it fits her little personaltiy perfect. SO Miss MiLey Moe it is. Maybe one day I'll have a little Tillie.
Love
Darlene

All through college I told my girlfriends that I wanted a maltese, to dye it pink, and name it petunia...I had 2 pink stuffed dogs both named Petunia and we somehow shortened that to Tuni. SOOOO when I got my girls I knew one of them was going to be Tuni and just needed a middle name. Moya is Croatian for Mine so Moya it was. Petunia Moya. Isa my sister named...she wanted me to name her Bella but there were already neighbor dogs named Bella and since Isa is the first part of Isabella (where Bella came from) Isa stuck and it rhymed with Belize so Isa Belize it is.
Love my girls. The boyfriends dog is named Tuffy Testosterone and it is also VERY suiting. He his birthday is June 6, 2006...figure that one out

I always loved the song "Lola" by The Kinks. I like the name too, but I knew I wouldn't want to name a human baby Lola. When I finally got my furbaby who was originally named "Emma" (didn't like it), I had selected Lola, but panicked. She was my first baby and I worried about labeling her for life; however, once she was home and her personality began to shine, Lola it was. She completely fits the song! I honestly believe she is a male in her heart and mind. Okay, so she is the reverse of the "Lola" in the song, but it works. She seems to have this inner conflict between her body and what she feels inside. This leads to all kinds of non-traditional behaviors including doing some naughty things to Daddy's leg. So, in honor of transgendered people, the LGBTQ community as a whole, and everyone who has ever had an internal struggle...Lola was henceforth named. And we couldn't be more proud of her/him!
Although her name is Lola and this is how we get her to come when called, she has several other names and other terms of endearment as I'm sure many of you do. In fact, we probably refer to her more often as "StinkButt" or "The 'Lil StinkButt" since when we first got her she developed a terrible bout of diarrhea and the name stuck. She is also called "My 'Lil Boo Boo Bear", "Sybil" (DID), and just plain "Stinky" among others! Oh, and shortly after we got Lola, my cousin who thought "Lola" was a good for a human named her baby the same, so when we're around that part of the family, I call my baby "Lola #1" and her's "Lola #2"!

I'm just reading this thread. Tony lives in my neighborhood. I'll tell him (if I ever see him) that he has a Malt named for him. :aktion033::aktion033:

What a great thread! Thanks for starting it. It's been great fun reading how you came up with your puppy names!!:wub:
Coco--Well, when I knew I was getting a puppy from Bonnie Palmer (Angel Maltese), I wanted an Angel name, so I came up with Gabriel, but that's a boy's name so I was going to do Gabby. Both of my GROWN daughters hated it, so I thought about designer names since she was coming from the Palm Beach area. I decided on Coco for Coco Chanel.
Lola--LOL! She came from Tammy at Ta-Jon Maltese. I was going to name my next one Chanel, but how could I do another designer name when this dog comes from Oklahoma? :HistericalSmiley:No offense to Okies, but it didn't seem to fit. So, all the way home with Lola, we looked for Indian names. I didn't think any of them fit, so when we ran out of radio stations, I turned on the CD player, and Barry Manilow was singing Lola, she was a show girl, and it stuck. Many of you remember the naming of Lola because you were there with me as I was deciding. Thank you very much!! :aktion033::aktion033:

So when I met Tyler at Chrisman's, he was Elvis :w00t:, and he was 8 months old. I know there are people out there who loved Elvis to death but I'm really not one of them. All I could imagine was years of me introducing him as Elvis, and people saying, "Oh you must have loved Elvis Presley." Not so much. So I knew I wanted to give him a human name after taking care of a Malt named Peter and loving him having a boy name. When I told Chris I was getting him, he asked me what name I was going to use so he could start calling him it before I got him, and I said "Tyler." Somehow I just came up with it. Don't know how or why but I think it's perfect for him :wub: and he in no way is an Elvis.

I wanted "Tazia". A good Italian name for a dog from Malta. But, my husband and the two kids didn't like it. So, Sophia it is. Sophia is a pretty name, but the wee demon acts like a Tazmanian devil 90% of the time. I should have stuck to my guns and insisted on Tazia. It fits her better.

Wow! That is an awesome name knowing the meaning behind it.
I love it when we find out some of the meanings behind names. I had no idea Aolani was Hawaiian.
Just wish I knew how to pronounce both Haiku and Aolani.:blush:
~~~~~~
Zoe seemed the perfect name for my girl because it comes from the Greek, meaning 'full of life' or 'life'. Zoe is certainly that! She brought joy and life back to me when I was going through a really bad and dark time. Just wish it wasn't such a common name.
Jett was named Jet by his foster mom Mary Palmer at NMR. And I really liked it. He already knew it. And when he runs, he's FAST! Like a jet! :HistericalSmiley: So I just added a 2nd 't' to it to class it up a bit.
His name on his original paperwork was Neil. He is sooooo not a Neil. lol

Neil! No way that little hunk full of spunk is a Neil. Jett suits him perfectly and it's as cool as he is. B)
Aolani is pronounced Oww-lah-nee. Hope that helps

this is a very cute thread! i love hearing how some of you came up w/ your babies' names. some of you are soo creative
paddy's real name is paddington after paddington bear, but i think i've actually only ever called him by his full name maybe once haha. originally i was torn b/t bailey or paddington, and almost went w/ bailey because i didn't like "paddy" as a nickname.
now i can't imagine him as anything other than a paddy - b/c he's so girly :brownbag:! the androgynous name suits my girly little mama's boy perfectly haha

When we first put our deposit on Sassy I asked the breeder to start calling her Shellby. But after we brought her home I realized Shellby didn't fit. So we tried several names ie, Emily, Katie, Mitzy, Madison, I can't even remember all the names we tried. After a couple of weeks I took her to the vet for something. You know how new moms rush to the vet for no reason. :innocent: The girl at the front desk asked her name and I said she doesn't really have a name yet. So she suggested that we put a name on her chart and I could change it later. I said, well she has been so sassy this morning so today I will call her Sassy. Once we got back home I told d/h that the name of the day is Sassy. Guess what? Her little head popped up like she knew that name. Each time I would sing out, Saaasssssy, she would come running. So I guess in reality Sassy chose her own name. Trust me.....it fits. :chili:
