What’s in a name?

I’m naming my pug Lucy. But I’m still being original, since her full name is Lucifer

Our daughter pick out our (“boys’)name, Mr. Skittles, but I just call him baby most of the time. But she did say if we had of picked out a female, she would have named her Isabella. Cute ,eh?

I guess I’m the minority.  I like non-human names for pets.  Sleighbelle has that name since she was a Christmas present from my brother.  Birdy has that name because she coos like a bird when you love on her.

Some names of my childhood dogs include: Buttons, Scrapper, and Zipper.

Christina, I’ve always loved Sleighbelle’s name, and I’m glad to know how she got it! 

My Bennie’s actually named after my favorite quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger!  I live in Texas now, but I’m still a Pittsburgh girl (Steeler fan) at heart!

My husband was a former prizefighter, way way way back in the days, and believe it or not he had the nickname Rocky (long before Stallone had it), so naturally, he wanted a Pug named Rocky.  It only followed, then, that since Rocky’s sister came with the package that her name most certainly should be Adrian (Yo!), (but my “pet” name for her is Adie)! And it’s quite ironic that Rocky is a timid little “chicken-****” and Adie’s a tough little bitch who rules the roost!  Go figure…

oh my, i forgot about our pit bull mix, molly. she weighs 70 lbs. but thinks she is a pug. they really keep her in line. she is such a gentle dog even if she is so big.

punchbugpug, i think your in-laws would be honored. my youngest daughter’s name is brandi, the first time i heard that as a name was for a saint bernard that our neighbors had. i dont think i have ever told her that she was kinda named for a dog.

Our pug princess is named Little Miss Piggy Pie….

LOL, and at 8 months old, she’s true to form.

Well, we have 3 dogs (2 pugs and a maltese). Marley is the oldest (11) and I think his name came from the obvious. Susie Q (1 1/2), I think her name is from the song that says “Oh Susie Q baby I love you”, it would play in my head when she was a little puppy and we just brought her home and she’d run around like a crazy dog. So Abby has the name I wanted to give my first born. But then I thought what if we didnt have a girl and I got impatient….But susie Q often gets called Moo Cow b/c well she loves food and Marley is Mooley for the same reason. Abby gets AbbyDoodle and I have no idea why or where it came from. They have many names…but they are the center of our family and our focus right now so thats why.

I named my pug Yoda because he’s the opposite of peaceful. He’s a wild man.

I named my pug Gatsby. I did not want a typical/common name for such a unique dog. People seem to like the name, but a lot of people who don’t know the reference to F. Scott Fitzgerald just can’t get the name right. Kids call him Gassy (even though pugs are very gassy!) or Gaspy. He even once came home from the vet with a tag calling him Garsby. LOL

We’re getting a male pug puppy in July from a breeder that we are naming “Chesney”.  We are fans of country music and singer Kenny Chesney, so we thought the name would be cute!

My pug’s name is Knox. I named after Johnny Knoxville! My car License Plate says KNOX. I love my pug he is the best thing I ever had!!!

I have two beautiful pugs. Although I had thought of names for my male dog…... I didn’t name him until I saw him for the first time and picked him up, looked into that adorable face and said, “Welcome to the world…..you shall be called Jackson!” The name just came to me; it seemed to “fit” him.
Three years later, I desperately wanted a new puupy to keep Jackson company. This time I wanted a little girl. I chose her name by envisioning a sweet,little girl pug who would be full of “Sugar and spice and everything nice!” I named that little pug “Whitney.” Well, the name did NOT fit Whitney. She was not the shy, sweet, little bundle of joy which I had expected…... she should have been named “Wild One!!” Oh, she is adorable and obedient and can be so sweet; but she seems to think of herself as a hunting dog. She traps armadillos, eats lizards, tries to eat Jackson’s food, etc. But, she is comical, cute, loving and well behaved….......and most of all we love them both.
