    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.

    Tango: To make a very long story short, I'd always wanted a Toller named Tango so that's how she got her name.

    Tia: Not really sure, my mom named her. I don't think there was a reason for it, it just suited her.

    Winston and Morgan came with their names.

    Payson - There is a city in Arizona named Payson. We liked the way it sounded and it seemed to fit him.

    My daughter named both Sirius and Natalie- Sirius was pretty obvious since he is a big black dog, but Natalie was born at Christmas (nativity). Hogan and Pagan both came with their names from the breeder, but we got to pick their registered names. Hogan's litter were named for Elvis songs, so my daughter picked 'PBKs Got My MoJo Workin' (which I have never heard) and Pagan was called Pagan because the breeder like 'P' names- and I kept it because she was 8 months when I got her and seemed mean to change it. I wanted a pretty name that had pagan origin so it fit, and she was born in July, so I chose 'PBKs Summer Solstice'.

    Frisk... well... I was young and it was either going to be Jack or Frisk. I don't remember it that well, but I suppose it ended up being Frisk!
    Ethan... when we adopted him, he had no name. I always like the name Ein, and my family did, too. I have a cousin named Ethan, and mum just wouldn't get used to calling the new dogs Ein, so it ended up being Ethan.
    Skylar... my sister came up with it. Not sure how, though. Probably because of his blue eye.

    My mom named Pepper, because she was black. She was registered as Miss Pepper K'mere.
    Autumn was born in Autumn. I had picked out her name before we met her.
