I am sure each of you seen the movie Betoween, how they pick the name for their dog, playing on the piano and dog start to bark.What about you?Does you kids or you pick the name for your dog?Where the name come from?

o...o..mine is parrot, I call him PARMIC. Once I greet him "Hi Par?", he always reply with "Hi Mic". A common taciturn communication between me and him, just a way to respect each other and have fun with it. :::michael:::

Your parrot is such a cute one as to call you Mic. Did you train him to speak by yourself or it had been trained already before you got it? You are cool to have a cool he-parrot so cute. lol

I had a dog I named Leno for seven years. Then he was stolen. So when I got two new dogs a couple years later, I named one 'Leon' in honor of Leno. Because 'Leon' is Leno with the letters rearranged. As for my second dog, and I promise this is how it was. When I got him, I was riding in the car trying to think of a name. All the sudden the name 'Sherlock' came to mind. I've never read Sherlock books or seen the movies, but to me he looked like a 'Sherlock', so that is what I named him.

At first I am sorry for your stolen dog.It had to be sad for you.So you got a Sherlock, right?I guess you have no secrets and he know everything about you. But why you don't tell us how it really was with that Sherlock name.I am sure you read all his book and seen the movies:)just teasing you.I like your"I promise this is how it was"lol

Hello laurika, Yes I have watch the movie bethoven and I agree sometimes people choose to name their dog bas on what they could do. We have a pet dog. I picked the dog name. I based it upon the way my dog looks and charcteristics. After I had the name in mind I asked the kids and they liked it. Usually that's how I pick a name whenever I have a new pet dog. :-)

I just look the face of the dog example and I can choose about my feelings :) I think the pet's eye talks a lot about themselves. And they have funny things what they do so you can choose name about this too. But I think it's a stupid thing to find a name from a pet-name-book - it can't be so personal. If you have an animal choose an uniqe name :)

Actually, my dog name is boots. You see, she is brown with 4 white paws that go up about 7 inches on her feet so she kind of named herself. She is a 110lb. Husky and is so lovable and big my grandson always tries to ride her when he is here. I think a name should be picked by the main person to whom the dog belongs to.
