How did you choose the name for your dog?

One of the daycare ladies, from Mike's school, used to have a dog that looked alot like our's and his name was Mauser. So, Mike, when he was 6, decided to call his new puppy Mauser. My husband, Steve, said that there is a German rifle called a Mauser.

We have no dogs yet (see my thread in the other section) but since we have a "theme" we followed in naming our children, we will probably have one in naming our dogs as well.

Example: My oldest's middle name is Orion and my youngest's is Phoenix. Anyone care to guess where we got these names? lol

I think it will be fun coming up with names for our dogs this way. It was certainly interesting when we were naming our sons. lol

Oh yeah ... I can bet

Nice names BTW ... can't wait to hear you got a doggie too .. at least we can use you for finding some nice names in the end

we don't have a dog yet . but i have always named my pets by what they look like or the way they act . i have 2 dwarf hamsters one name is cinnamon and the other is stripes . so will most likely do that when we get a dog .

my sister named him
she had him first and looked for adoption so she decided not to name him yet, but he kept calling him and he got used to the name

I got the name of my dog from his feature and look.I depend it on how they he looks like or sometimes given by my friends.

A friend of mine named my dog Puky. I'm not sure where the name comes from
I didn't want to name the puppies, except for the male (we're gonna keep it), but eventually we did
The black one is called Naomi (a friend of mine named her, after Naomi Campbell, because she is black and beautiful ). The male is called Ares, cause he likes to fight his sisters . And finally, the white one is called Bella or simply White (my mom gave her the name Bella).

hello everyone,

my sister named my dog dexter because my dog's smart like dexter in dexter's laboratory

HI all,
