How did you name you dog????

[Diana Allen]

I am interested to hear how everyone named their dog..... I named my dog after James Cagney... Cagney is his name and we named him that because we love the old James Cagney movie... please share some stories on how you named your doodle.....

I'm late on this discussion also, Ginness was named after the Scottish Brew...because of it's dark brown color.

Gotta love it!!

Great idea!!!

[Holly Doodle]

I'm late on this too...my husband loves boxing and Evander Holyfeild is his idol, so we came up with Holly-feild :). We just call her Holly though!

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

after tossing around many names we called our chocolate labradoodle Cooper, even though she is a girl. Cooper is my maiden name - we were planning our wedding at the time

After much research and deliberation, we finally named our dog "Tori" because she is part Australian shepherd. Tori means "elegant" in the Aborigine language. And we think she's 'elegant' - LOL ~ shelly
P.S. We named our last dog went days without a name, and finally we named our Golden Retriever Swayze after the wonderful Patrick Swayze. He was even 'light on his feet' too just like his namesake ---- all
125 pounds of him! (Miss them both)

[Robyn, Greg and Snickers]

Snickers is short for Snickerdoodle we thought with his brownish red color he looked like the top of a Snickerdoodle cookie.

[Camilla and Darwin]

We wanted to name our doodle after a famous scientist. Our first choice was Newton but we were afraid it would sound ridiculous because of where we are from. "Newt'n" Darn that Utah accent! We went with Darwin instead. Although I have to say, Darwin suits him perfectly.

I always wondered how Sherlock got his name. It is really unusual and I haven't heard it used before. I haven't heard of another Noah either, actually. I like your vacation names; I can really picture a Maui, D.C., Dallas... I hadn't thought of those. My current favs are jewels/rocks - Opal, Garnet, Mica; or food - Olive, Mango.

Isn't it amazing how much thought we all put into naming our doods? And aren't the names we choose reflective of our varied interests?
