How did your dog get it's name?

[BaileysMom]

Bailey, ironically, was named after two female characters in two seperate movies. Bailey was after the character in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Cale was after Dakota Fanning's character in Dreamer.

Maggie Mae: My twin was obsessed with the name Maggie and absolutely loved it so my mom let her name Maggie and Mae because we got her in the month of May. I personally think my mom let Rachel name her Maggie because my mom likes the song "Wake Up Maggie May".

Martin Jeffery: Marty's name was picked out of a hat and one day my little sister called him Jeffery and we all thought it was so cute that it became his middle name.

Alejandro: Alex got his name from the puppy mill he came from, we named changed it but we do call him Alejandro for a long version of it.

Roxabella: I was wanting a pit bull puppy for all last year and I had the names picked out Chachi for a boy or Roxie for a girl. Well since I didn't get my pit, I got a min pin. She was Roxie from the start and personally I think I should have named her Diva. Roxabella came from Roxie and Bella(beautiful). Bella is my cousin's pug's name and so I just combined it. RoxieBella didn't sound right so it became Rox-A-Bella.

Buster -- I always called him Buster Button and it stuck.

Rocky -- we got him in a town named Rocker, so it's Rocky.

Jenny -- my mom named her after my grandmother, Geneva..they spell it
G-e-n-n-y, but I spell it J-e-n-n-y, because it looks better.

and Ginger -- my mom inherited her from my grandmother (my mom's mom, Geneva) when my grandmother passed away in 2003. My grandmother named her Ginger, because of her color.

We got Sassy from the movie Homeward Bound. My dad really named her since he thought Malteses were "for super star" dogs back then . Sassy just stuck.

Credit Approved "Visa" - When Visa was a puppy, her and her littermates became exposed to another puppy's vaccine reaction and developed parvo. The breeder spent $2000 keeping the litter alive. Some of the puppies died, but Visa and her brother and sister, Amex and Cash, both survived. Visa literally owes her life to a Visa card.

Roxy--Well she had her name from the shelter, and it fit her, so it stuck!
TigerLily Princess "Lily"-TigerLily from Peter Pan. Wanted her to share the name of a Peter Pan character in memory of Tink. Couldn't think of her middle name, and my mom suggested Princess, so Tigerlily Princess, it is! Lily for short .

Teddy - was named because he is big and fluffy like a Teddy bear. Besides that all the kids in the house were young and who wouldn't want a dog named Teddy? LOL.

Nova - She got her name because she is yellow and Nova means star. It just seemed to suit her.

Konner - My sister named him Connor when she owned him (same name, different spelling) and when I got him I hated the name. I had him for awhile and considered changing it but eventually decided to leave it. On his first birthday (December 14) I wanted to do something really special to celebrate. Might sound stupid but I changed the spelling of his name from Connor to Konner. I bought him and ID tag with that spelling and it made me feel like he was 100% totally mine, name and all.
