My name stories aren't as great as everyone elses but I will share anyway. I just loved reading thru these stories though. It is so neat how we put so much thought into naming our fur-kids.

RachelJ, your story about Hannah Noel is precious... I guess every female dog's middle name should be Noel for that reason ! The boys can have "Knoll"

Anyway, My mom, sister and I went and picked Lexi out of the remaining pups in this ladies litter... I drove home while my mom held her and just kept trying to think of a great name. I remembered my dad always saying that dogs should have good, short and clear names so they respond better. I always wanted something unique.. Well, I love names with the letter 'X' in them... So, Lexi came about and it stuck!

Sasha was already named by our friends who gave her to us since they couldn't keep her anymore. No way were we going to change it!

Maddie, my little lost baby that I found got her name because I love that name first of all, and when I went to visit her in the pound I would say it to her and it just sounded so good and fit soooo well. Finally hubbie agreed to let me call her that. Now, she is called 'MAD DOG', Crazy Dog, Psycho Dog, Madders, Mad Maddie, Maniac Maddie and a few others... believe me, her middle name is just plain 'NO'!

We call the other two Lexer-Mexer and Sasha-Masha... you know, the baby talk that probably makes them roll their eyes at you.

That's our story and we're stickin' to it!

Angel, Lexer-Mexer, Sasha-Masha and Maddie-NO!
