I gotta admit this for anyone who suspected that our Kobie was named after Kobe Bryant....well, it's true. The DH and I are basketball fans, and when we saw our little shelter mutt jump about 4 feet straight up the first day we brought her home, we knew we had the right name! She's got Kobe's style, too.

Eli isn't named after any celebs, although I've heard that Peyton Manning (QB in the NFL) has a younger brother who's gonna be quite a star soon...named Eli, of course.
