Whats in a Name?

I didn't have the opportunity to name Jade and I didn't like it at first but it grew on me! I always wonder how people came to name their dogs - what they named them after or what gave them the idea. xx

I love the film Chicago and as soon as I saw Roxy I knew she was going to be a little minx like Roxy Hart from the film!!

ben got his on the way home in the car from pickin him up at 11weeks, being a border collie i said there is no way we are callin him ben...he looked up at me with his big sexi eyes as if to say hey thats me!!
so ben it was!!

gypsy,..she was a stray and had traveled bout a bit so we called her gypsy.

stella...im not really sure, i looked her and stella jsut popped into my head, thougth it suited her

rodders..same as u i didnt name him that, he came with that name, hated it at 1st but now i lvoe it!

My OH named our dog. Kane is not a name that is really used in Canada. But he hated every name I picked and I hated all his choices, again, in Canada we are for the most part not ones to use people names on out pets and it seems quite popular here in the UK. I finally agreed Kane was a name I could live with and I must admit it suits him.

We named Bonnie after Bonnie and Clyde we were intending on buying another little staffy pup but we adopted Max.

we named akasha after queen of the damned (film/book) my partner loves the film
and oakley
after the make of sunglasses oakleys so bloody expensive and hopefully unbrakeable and very cool :P

The kids from where we got Mista Tee from nick named him this as he was the largest of the litter and was black when he was born and once my OH heard the name he wanted to keep it - i hated it at first but we couldnt agree on another name so he got his way.

Then when we got Missy i wanted to her Roxy but the OH said it had to go with Mista so he came up with Missy.

Rocko came from being solid as a rock and boo as she is white and ghostly ! Now thinking will sounds silly when out walking shouting Boo randomly

We chose Daisy because it suits her and it doesn't sound like Beth, Fred or Molly, our other dogs' names. Then she got the nickname Boots because of her white toes and now we mostly call her Boo. I don't think it sounds silly
All our dogs have middle names too. Daisy is Daisy-Boo Amber, because she has amber eyes.
She occasionally gets called chunk or piggy but that's a bit mean :)

My dog is called Murdoch. Because of the A-Team (not the media mogul as many of the posh ladies where I live seem to think!). I just loved that series and Murdoch was "howlin' mad" so the name really fits my boy!!

My dog was already called maddie when i moved in my house i wanted a puppy and was going to name it lass after my first staffie, but my cousin asked us if we wanted maddie the name suits her because she mad sometimes we call her mad dog lol

when our staffy gypsi had her pups we named one of the pups diamond due to him being born dead but i rubbed him and cleaned his airways out and he finally gave us the breath we was waiting for so we called him diamond geezer
