River orgin is english and you guest it it means itself (River) he came to me with that name

Layla was named after the Eric Clapton song "Layla"

previous pets had been named by our daughter. wife and I always hated the names after the fact. so when we got layla we decided it was our decision this time. on the drive home the song came on the radio , and that was it

Artemis - Greek goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, etc.

Drake derives it's name from the word for dragon (but if you look it up in the dictionary it also means a male duck). Pretty funny our cowardly dog is named after a dragon...maybe he'll grow into it.

what does your dog's name mean or named after. There might be a post already but I am lazy. lol


Maggie's (yes it is true)

Zoey was named by her breeder.

Embrys named after a werewolf in twilight

Fenrir is the son of Loki from Norse mythology. As a puppy, he was the most normal of Loki's kids and really sweet, so the Gods kept him as a pet. As he grew, he got huge, and they became terrified of him, so they tried to bind him up before he could turn aggressive.

Edit:
I also named him that because I wanted him to have a mythos name like his brother, Apollo, but the best choices were Hathor, Zeus, Ares, Osiris, and Fenrir. Personally, I liked Hathor and Zeus (and obviously Fenrir), but after a very long tirade from my friend about naming an arctic dog after a Mediterranean or Desert God, I went with the Northern mythos.

I did not name Thor he was already named by a 17 yr old no clue why. He really isn't a god of thunder. Maybe a princess of flower petals...lol

Nero Thaddeus is my GSD name. I first named him Thaddeus a greek name that means a heart, or courageous heart. But no one could remember it or they kept calling him Tad which I did not like. Soooo.... I thought about it for a few days and decided on Nero, the Roman Emperor. I kept Thaddeus as a middle name for him because I really like it.

Chloe came with her name, I guess it means "young green shoot" or "blooming". Its Greek so its cool.

Isis came with her name, but it was spelled Icez by her previous owner. Dante's rescue name was Saint, and we figured that didn't really fit a Husky. Hubby came up with Dante; don't know if there was any reasoning behind it or if it just sounded good.

Neo was named by his previous owner off of some movie, cant remember which atm

Must've been that one Keanu Reeves movie. What was it? The Devil's Advocate? Yeah, that sounds right.

I named Kirk after Cptn. Kirk from Star Trek. My friends ex-wife told me to name him Jim...and being the nerd I am, Kirk was the first thing that popped into my head.

Matrix! Thats the movie lol

My girlfriend named him Coquito which means little coconut because of his colors. The name fit him perfect because he is stubborn and hardheaded like a coconut lol

Kale is Hawaiian for "free man"... and it's a lettuce...

We chose Dante because it is latin for Enduring, obstinate, and steadfast which is pretty fitting. Plus he looks a little evil. like a demon lol. Hubs wants to get a red and white and name it inferno lol

Keeonah is Lakota Native American for "Fire and Ice". When i got her at 8 weeks, she was bright red, and had the BLUEST(sp?) eyes! Then one went brown and the other turned typical husky ice blue.

I named Hayden after one of my favorite Moto GP racers #69 Nicky Hayden. When I get a female Husky her name will be Nicky

Blaze came with the name. I am sure he was named that because of he was a red and white. When we got him he was 9 months and more red than he is now. He is more of a chocolate/ copper now than red.

If I had named him he would have been TAS or Fizban after characters in some books me and my hubby like to read.

Both Filipino foods:

Adobo- is dinner ......................... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobo_(Filipino_cuisine)

Neither picture from the web links do the stuff justice but oh Lordy they are so good.

Appa came from the cartoon Avatar the last airbender. He's a flying Air Bison. My wife and I both really loved the character's attitude throughout the series so we determined we'd name our dog Appa. When we got him he was named Kingston, and for various reasons we thought about keeping it. However, once we determined he'd be Appa it seriously took maybe 15 minutes before he was responding to Appa and no longer to Kingston. He was destined to be our dog. He never had to "adjust" to us. When we brought him home he ran in, grabbed a toy and plopped down on his bed.



(don't get forget Cameron, Fenrir was tied up because he was destined to kill Odin during Ragnarok)

Niko's name is the one he came with. We figure the poor guy had been through enough with all the shuffling around he'd done in the weeks prior to us getting him that at least ONE thing should stay the same.

I hate it when our shelter has a dog, it gets adopted and returned during the 2week trial period, and is relisted with ANOTHER name that the newest family to turn it in gave it. So not only is their whole living situation in upheaval, they don't know when you're addressing them!!!

River came to us with that name and we decided to keep it and of course you can guess what it means LOL

Alice was named Talouska at the dog shelter, but she really didn't respond to it and it was just whatever one of the shelter workers named her because she was a stray. We've kept the names of dogs we've adopted in the past if they respond to them.

We tend to use people names or family names for the dogs in our families, so on the way home we bounced names around. Alice seemed to fit her princess-y nature and I was told by several girls at my son's school that it suited her (she and our other dog walk to school with us every day).
