    Seeing how chihuahuas have a life span of 20 plus years. And how Mister will be turning 4 this June. I am good on getting another dog anytime soon. And I agree I must see the dog and get a feel for what it's name should be. However IF I do get another dog I want a bigger dog and deff another male.

    When I was younger I picked out cool names for potential dogs. And I actually got to name a couple of dogs over the years.

    But then I got into rescue, and most of the dogs I take in are already named. So, over the years, I've kind of given up on naming dogs. Of the nine dogs I have now, my son named three of them, and the other six came already named. And not names I would have chosen, by any means. *sigh* I just don't even think about it anymore ... whatever they are named, it's fine.

    I do like dog names which match the breed's country of origin, though. I think that's nice. I groom some Scotties named Aberdeen and MacIntosh. And some schnauzers named Wolfgang, Trinka and Zeigfield.

    I also like pairs of names on a theme ... I once though Isis and Osiris would be cool names for dogs.

    How about Amarillo, which is yellow in Spanish? Or Giallo, in Italian?

    They always pick their own

    I have found that no matter what you think about or dream about when it comes to dog names they always seem to have their own ideas about who they are.
    When we picked out our puppies at the breeder, before we brought them home I was thinking about mythical gods. Zeus and Apollo. Castor and Pollax. Things like that.
    But… When we brought them home it was a totally different story. For one thing, we wound up bringing home 3!!! They had 1 male left that the original buyer backed out on and my husband just couldn’t leave him behind.

    So we wound up with-

    Maximus – He took over right away, acting like a General and commanding attention and worship from everyone.

    Loki – He was the real trickster of the bunch, always playing, bringing toys to you and asking to be played with. Rolling over on his back and just proving he was the cutest.

    And Rudy – He was the smallest of them all. Only 6 lbs. when his brothers were already pushing 9 lbs. But he never let that keep him back, he had determination and spunk and always kept up with his brothers. So we named him after the character in the movie “Rudy” about the Notre Dame football player who was too small to play, but proved he could anyway.

    Though my son was determined to have a dog and name him Shamus. We bought him a Golden Retriever and I have to say the name fits him perfectly!!!

    Once I spoke the language of the flowers,

    Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,

    Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,

    And shared a conversation with the housefly

    in my bed.

    Once I heard and answered all the questions

    of the crickets,

    And joined the crying of each falling dying

    flake of snow,

    Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .

    How did it go?

    How did it go?

    Cecelia has been high on my list for months. Other than that I like solid short names. I love the name Finn.
