Some people I know always name their dogs to a theme (gambling games (Whist, Spinner,...), or a word about desired agility skills (e.g., Quick, Driven, Smart,...) or about how wonderful they are (Awesome, Stellar...)). Others to a first initial. <br /><br />My sister's first dog was Jenny, and she loved that dog to pieces. After Jenny died, she wanted to name the next dog Jenny, also, but her husband said that was too confusing, so she picked Katie instead. Not long after, she named her second daughter Katherine, whom everyone calls Katie. So, you know, sometimes that is just the best name ever! (Another sister a few years later named her daughter the same, but calls her Kate. I don't know what this is all about--no one in our family history is katherine or Kate or Katie!)<br />I'm glad that you think mine are imaginative. Once I started agility, I tried very hard to pick names that no other (local, anyway) agility dogs had, and I used our agility club's massive database of dogs who had competed in our many, large trials. Tika and Boost were verified there. :-) There were a bunch of Jakes, though; I didn't change his name anyway. Which, on occasion, caused confusion.<br />I remember one day in particular where the BCs together in the running order were Ruby, Ruby, Boost, and Ruby. Yeah, confusing! :-)<br />Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.com
