What does your dog's name mean?

Rory: Rory is the most common English form of the Irish male name Ruairí, Ruaidhrí or Ruaraidh. The name originates with Ruaidri mac Tairrdelbach Ua Conchobair or Rory O'Connor, a king of Connacht and High King of Ireland who died in 1198. It is a common name in Irish and Scottish cultures and is generally held to mean "red king", from Irish rua "red" combined with rí "king".

We actually just liked the name, but it's very fitting because he's red and BC's are from Scotland/England.

Tucker: The boy's name of Tucker is of Old English origin, and its meaning is "garment maker". Occupational name relating to one of medieval Britain's main industries, the woolen trade.

Chloe: Chloe often pronounced as Kloh-ee or sometimes just Klo is a name of Greek origin and means 'blooming'. In fact the word was used to symbolize the Goddess of Fertility, Demeter in the Classical period with mention of the word being found in the Bible as well.

The name was commonly used in religious communities (Puritans) in Europe in the seventeenth century. It has also been used several times in literary works (tale of Daphnis and Chloe) often to depict a chaste woman

Rylie: In Irish, the name Rylie means- valiant. The name Rylie orginated as an Irish name. The name Rylie is a unisex name and can be used for a boy or girl name (male or female).

Sawyer The boy's name Sawyer is of Middle English origin, and its meaning is "wood-worker". Occupational name. Literary: most familiar as the name of Mark Twain's boy hero, Tom Sawyer.

That's my boy's namesake!

Heh, heh...that's interesting Jessie.

Well, Jose` is the Spanish form of Joseph. (duh) It means, "He will enlarge." That isn't why I named him that...didn't even know what it meant. But nothing could be more true. He is a Chihuahua that most certainly did enlarge....to 10-13 lbs. LOL.

Chulita is Mexican slang for "cute little chick."

And Toker...(I call her Tokie, Tee tee and anything else I can I can come up with) I hate her name that my son gave her. It's so embarrassing. He used to be quite the pot smoker. (or would that be toker?) I'm just glad he doesn't have two more dogs that he might have named, Smoker and Joker. Oh I'm a smoker. I'm a joker and a midnight Toker...playin' my music in the sun. (or however that song goes)

Well some of mine are obvious, lol

Summer- From the name of the season, ultimately from Old English sumor. It has been in use as a given name since the 1970s (Shocking, eh?)

Mia- Scandinavian, Dutch and German diminutive of MARIA

Latin form of Greek Μαρια, from Hebrew מִרְיָם (see MARY). Maria is the usual form of the name in many European languages, as well as a secondary form in other languages such as English (where the common spelling is Mary). In some countries, for example Germany, Poland and Italy, Maria is occasionally used as a masculine middle name.
This was the name of two ruling queens of Portugal. It was also borne by the Habsburg queen Maria Theresa (1717-1780), whose inheritance of the domains of her father, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI, began the War of the Austrian Succession.

Beau - Means "beautiful" in French. It has been occasionally used as an American given name since the late 19th century. It appears in Margaret Mitchell's novel 'Gone with the Wind' (1936) as the name of Ashley and Melanie's son. (We made his name french on purpose)

Rose- Originally a Norman form of a Germanic name, which was composed of the elements hrod "fame" and heid "kind, sort, type". It was introduced to England by the Normans in the forms Roese or Rohese. From an early date it was associated with the word for the fragrant flower rose (derived from Latin rosa). When the name was revived in the 19th century, it was probably with the flower in mind.

Bernard- Derived from the Germanic element bern "bear" combined with hard "brave, hardy". It was brought by the Normans to England, where it replaced the Old English cognate Beornheard. This was the name of several saints, including Saint Bernard of Menthon who built hospices in the Swiss Alps in the 10th century, and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, a 12th-century theologian and Doctor of the Church. Another famous bearer was George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), an Irish playwright and essayist.

Bernard is the anti 'Bernard'

LOL at the enlarging part!

I always wondered why you had a dog named Toker, haha. The first thing I thought of was that song, and then wondered how in the world your dog ended up with that name. lol.

Yeah, see...she's not really my dog. She's my sons'. He isn't living with me right now, but she is....for the time being. I sometimes call her Tokie Loki and I try out different things on her. She comes to anything so it really doesn't matter. What's in a name? A rose is a rose....LOL

My dogs all have nick names that I use interchangeably. And middle names. Jose` is called Boo boo a great deal of the time. And Jose` Miguel. And Chulita is called Chuli, Chuli luli, Luli, Lou, Chi chi and then coupled with her middle name: Chulita Consuelo.

I use their middle names when I'm talking seriously to them...having a heart to heart. Also, what gets them silly and riled up is to talk pretend angry....in a staccato, monotone voice. WhaT - are - you - DoinG? (annunciating each syllable very clearly) Chuli especially, then play bows, spins in a circle and the games are on.

Kenya: is pronounced KEN-yah.. The name has an African origin. The word Kenya means "the abode of Gods" in the native Kikuyu language. It is generally referred to as "the cradle of mankind." The word Kenya is a motherland and hence a feminine aura to it. Hence the name is conferred upon a female.

The name is given after the name of a country in the continent of Africa by the same name.


Sweet! lol I just named her Kenya because I like going there. but now i know it has an awesome meaning!

The boy's name Blaze \b-la-ze\,
also used as girl's name Blaze, is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "stutter". Anglicised form of Blaise, though for a child of the 21st century, the name is more likely linked to flames

No wonder he gets called a girl too lol and the stutter part is funny, maybe that is why he barks sooo much at the park, he is yelling "th - th- thr- throughhh dadadada ballLlLlLlLl" lol

Finnegan is Irish Gaelic for "Descendant of Finn". Finn is Irish Gaelic for "fair".

I named him for the James Joyce novel/folk song "Finnegan's Wake" and after the character in Mr. Dress-Up.

Xena: Hospitable. Greek in origin.

It really fits her. She's happy to meet anybody.

Kiba means fang in Japanese
Tsuki means moon in Japanese

Lincoln I guess is Latin for Village By The Lale. But he's the color of a penny.. and penny was too girly. So Lincoln he became.

I guess Stryder's would mean "to stride"? LOL

mmm makes sense. Kody always wants to help me with things!

Interesting. I thought it would say "Bailey- see also, Lazy"

Yup. Def took a gamble when I got him. And sometimes I call him Chauncey- accent and all!

The boy's name Augustine, also used as girl's name Augustine, is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "great, magnificent". Diminutive of August; English form of the Latin name Augustinus, which is itself a derivative of Augustus. Saint Augustine of Hippo (fifth century) was perhaps the greatest of the Fathers of the Christian Church. He formulated the principles followed by the numerous medieval communities named after him as Austin canons, friars, and nuns. In England, Saint Augustine (sixth century) was the first archbishop of Canterbury famous for the frank "Confessions", in which he says, "Oh God, make me chaste - but not yet".


They listed Augie as a variant but not Auggie; however, when I searched for Auggie, I did find it:
The boy's name Auggie is a variant of Augustus (Latin), and the meaning of Auggie is "great, magnificent".

Something about thinking of Auggie as magnificent makes me dissolve into giggles.


I just named him after James Augustine, who was and is frequently called Auggie.

Interesting! I always wondered where you found the name Auggie.

Lucy means "light"

Haha. I also found this one: a strong flame that burns brightly; "the blaze spread rapidly"

^^ Thats why I named him Blaze. I wanted him to be fast, like a wildfire blaze spreading.

Really? I always thought it had something to do with his markings.

Scamp:

1. an unscrupulous and often mischievous person; rascal; rogue; scalawag.
2. a playful, mischievous, or naughty young person; upstart.
3. a grouper, Mycteroperca phenax, of Florida: so called from its habit of stealing bait.

I named Scamp when he was just 8 weeks old and 3 lbs, now he is about 35 pounds and living up to his name. I especially like the second definition...it really fits him.

Leo:

A Lion

This made me laugh, because my little Leo THINKS he is a lion. He gets very offended when Scamp pushes him around, because he thinks he is king of the beasts. LOL My 6 year old daughter came up with the name and it just seemed to fit.

Kona--Kona is a name originated from Hawaiian. Meaning of Kona is "lady" and is mostly used for female gender.

However, that is not the case with my Kona... we named her Kona because we wanted something different-- something you don't hear every day. She is a dark brown color so we literally googled "coffee names" and Kona was on one of the lists. We liked how it rolled off our tongues, and it stuck.

Ohhh no. I named him WAAAY before I even saw a picture of him. :rofl1:

The name Hannah comes from the Hebrew origin. In Hebrew the meaning of the name Hannah is: Favor; grace.
