Thread: Other names..?

  1. #1

    Other names..?

    I know when we were getting Mickey, we were thinking up some possibilities of names. We had seen pics of him online but we couldn't think of a name that would suit his looks. It was between Simba or Mickey.
    When we saw his little black ears in this picture
    we decided on Mickey

    What other names were you considering for you dog?

    Muskwa didn't get a name until he almost four months old. We just couldn't think of anything that suited him. He was supposed to be Heyoka--which means crazy clown in Sioux, but it just didn't fit. The dog who was meant to be Heyoka didn't show up for about five years. Muskwa was eventually named by a medicine man who told us he had a bear spirit. Muskwa means bear in Cree.

    He still answers very well to "HEY YOU NO!!!"

    For kai..I had a bazillion names. I wanted chip, blaze, keiko (we didn't know if we were getting a male or female yet), coco, moka, skittles, pogo...i'm sure there were more but those were our final choices. We picked Kai because i was at camp the week before and just fell head over heels for this guy who worked there (Kai-tek)...so I thought..why not kai? =]

    Kai [Sheltie], Kaedyn [Sheltie], Keeva [Malinois], Kwik [Malinois]

    I was thinking of Maggie for Jo, but liked Josie more. Besides, my dad reminded me my cousins dogs name was maggie (he didn't really like the dog..) As for Zeke, at 1st I thought Jake, cause I love that name, but I didn't want to J names, and I loved Zeke from Tour of Duty so went with that



    My babies: Josie, Zeke, Kiba, Shadow (AKA Butter)

    Don't remember considering anything other than McMurphy
    for Murph.

    For Maddie, I was originally thinking, McMuffin to kind of go with
    McMurphy. But the name didn't fit her. She's definitely more
    of a Madison in personality.

    I was leaning towards Marley for Oz. Really liked that name
    for a Collie, but decided it had too similar of a sound to Maddie.

    Oh God... I can't even talk about naming Prince... it was a nightmare! First I was going to name him Chase, but then I decided that he didn't look like a Chase. Then I was trying to think of other names. I had wanted a mixed breed, and I wanted to name him Simba... I LOVE THAT NAME! But Prince just didn't look like a Simba. So, we almost had our heart set on Quincy or Quinn for short, and then it was Prince, then Quincy, then I was thinking of King, and then FINALLY we named him the name that fits him perfect... PRINCE!

    ok with jar jar my son davey had been watching the star wars movies all day and wheni told him we were going to get a dog. and asked him to think of a name before i even turned around he said jar jar like the movie mommy. and that was it
    with scsi (scuzzy) he name was ginger and she didn't even know it. she would just look at youlike you were dumb and run off.
    and when joe decided he wanted to keep her and he wanted to change her name is thought for a about a few hour and came up with scsi it is a computer part and he is big into computers.
    with the three cats it was not hat hard with them either
    little girl she was so little when i got her i couln't think of any other name for her. and osker my hubby had another cat she color and that is what he wanted to name her and it fits her too she is a grouch........ piddles she piddled all the way across my floor whne i picked her up and put her in the little box. so that is how she got her name
    that is all my pets names

    I originally wanted a black and white female husky and name her Koda. Well, I ended up with a red and white male....I'm still saving that name for a future dog.

    The name "Nebo" was not something I had been thinking about for a long time. It kind of came up at the last minute, I don't even know why I chose that. Hmm...I like it though, so that's all that matters. Other possible names...that I can remember were Kamots, Teton, Amaroq, and ehhhhhhhh there was a bunch more but I'm tired and I can't remember.

    My hubby wanted to name Cisco; Pedro. The problem with that name was that it was my bosses husbands name! I said no way.
