Your Dogs Name: Why You Chose The Dog Name You Did

[JessLough]

Rosey got her name from my middle name, Rose. We couldn't decide on a name, so we each chose a name (my sister, brother and I), took her into the kitchen and each called the name that we chose. Whomever she went to, go to name her. She came to me when I called Rosey, so in a sense, she is named after me. She also, in a sense, chose her own name.

my dog's name is shadow because his color is black, just like a shadow

My dog's name is "Jowny" haha, unique? You wanna know why? Because the color of her skin is "Brown" .. Jowny is related to the word "browny" so we called her jowny. hahaha

When I adopted my dog Lola she already had a name. I adopted her from a local senior high school (Varela Senior High) that has a special veterinary and adoption program. The students in the program named her Lola, and Lola she stayed.

Upendi's name is a Swahili word for love. It fits her quite well.
When we got Mina we wanted to continue the trend and her name is a chinese word for peace. So between Upendi and Mina we have peace and love.

Here's my Labs story…

My wife and I were at a club one night and when we were leaving we heard the whimper of a little puppy from somewhere in the parking lot. After MUCH searching we found this incredibly cute Black Lab pup that someone had abandoned and was hiding under a car.

We couldn’t leave it there so we took it home (it slept all the way home on my wifes lap) and proceeded to try and find it's owner the next day.

Well it didn't take long for us to hope that the owner wouldn't claim it, as we were growing fond of it, and of course, we couldn't turn it into the pound, so we did what any rational dog lover would do…we kept it!

So what name did we give it? Since it took us soooo long to find her hiding under the cars that night, we decided that the name Heidi (as in hide-e) would fit!

Needless to say, because she's grown quite a bit since then…she can't "hide" anymore!

So what's the story behind your dogs name? Or at the very least, why did you choose what you did?

Do Tell!

Hey nice story man!!
for my pet dog tyaagy, there is not much story ,but I given it because I like it..
