How and Why did you decide on your boxers name?

[devilfan]

I did not even try to come up with a name before my Levi came home. My wife and daughter argued between Bocephus (wife) and Rowdy (daughter). My daughter tried to compromise with Brody (sp?). While sitting around with my daughter, Brittney, and her friends they decided to name him after a male friend named Matt. I said NO then said what's his middle name and Levi it was. Sasha was named when we adopted her as was Coco.

When I brought my little guy home, I was thinking of movie character names and knowing how Boxers can be, I was thinking of the bad guy characters.... Keyser Soze from the movie The Usual Suspects won out, so I named him Keyser. Keyser has been very appropriate for him, he was a little devil around the house until I brought home another dog (My partner at work, a working German Shepherd) to keep him busy and not destroying items in the house.

Molson was named after Molson Canadian (the beer)- my hubby's favorite beer is actually labatt blue but we knew a dog named blue who was annoying, plus Molson didn't look like a blue...Molson definetly stuck. Vaughn was because we were trying to find a hockey name that fit him and were considering a bunch of human names then my hubby suggested Vaughn (the hockey equipment company). We're from Michigan and wanted unique names....so we went with beer and hockey.

Samantha

Well my story is funny. When I decided to get a boxer I contacted the breeder looking for a male. On our way to the breeder ( 1 1/2 hr. away) we got lost, so by the time we got there all the males were taken. I'm so bummed I couldn't get my male compadre, that I was convinced from my wife to get a female ( next litter was 2 months out). So we ended up paying for my pup and leaving.

On the way home I couldn't think of a name for a female. ( Had Maximus already for my male) So we ended going to go see I AM LEGEND with Will Smith. Long story short, for those who haven't seen the flick there's a German Shepard in it. Throughout the whole movie he calls his dog SAM, so you automatically think it a boy until SHE dies. So thats how my girls name is SAM short for Samantha.

O and by the way just got my male pup and named him Lennox, go figure!!!

We used to have 2 pure siberian huskies. Shayna, the mother, was 13 and Dakota, the son, was 11. They passed within a year of each other. After losing them we couldn't bear to get another husky. We had decided that if we got anymore dogs that we would just get small lapdogs and we would call them Sugar and Spice. My brother went and got a mixed breed shepard, lab, border collie and we found out that there were 11 in the litter and we fell in love with the runt so we got her and called her Sugar (I still call her Shayna sometimes by mistake cause they're both my baby girls). Then my youngest brother decided to get a boxer. I went with him to see them and fell in love instantly with a fawn male. He couldn't be a Spice (obviously) so I wanted to find something that would go with Sugar's name. I came up with Cain. Now we have Sugar and Cain. Different breeds have different traits and although I will never stop missing my beautiful huskies, and I love my Sugar pie, I wouldn't trade my boxer, my little man, for anything.

After I lost Peanut (Chow/Kelpie Mix) in August almost 2 years ago, I knew that I wanted a Boxer named Cooper. When I finally found a male Boxer, he was the last in the litter and I was so hoping that the name would fit him. I saw him and it fit perfectly!! His kennel name was Aries... I didn't think it fit him.

I can't imagine his name being anything else.

When we got Star we were living in TX. She was fawn with one white mark on the back of her neck, so of course we had to name her Lone Star. As for Thor, DH always wanted a son named Thor. We couldn't have kids, so when the breeder came thru the drive thru at the bank I worked at and I saw him, I had to have him! At lunch time I went to my husband's office and threw the name in as a bargining chip. His full name is Thunderous Thor, and if you ever hear him bark you know he deserves this name! The breeder was calling him Snoopy. ( as Charlie Brown would say AUGH!) Thor is such a cuddler though I usually call him Bubby! Arabella was named Arabelle by her breeder and it just didn't sound right to me. When searching for a new name I found Arabella. It's an Italian name meaning answered prayer. Her full name is Princess Arabella and she too has grown up to fit her name, as I have never met a dog that just assumed he/she is a privilaged as she does. All my babies have "B" nick names. As I said Thor is Bubby, Star was Baby, and Arabella is Brat.

Well, me and my boyfriend are still waiting to get our baby boy (it's only about 2 weeks more!!). What we wanted to do was mix a name with our iguana named Chaos, because they're going to be brothers. So I started thinking of names and we weren't sure if we were going to get a boy or a girl. I said that if we got a girl we could name her Anarchy (because what's chaos without anarchy?) and that we could call her Annie for short. Well, turns out we ended up wanting a boy and thought that if we called him Annie for short, it just wouldn't fit him well. Anyways, once we said Anarchy, it stuck so that's how we decided the name and when we look at pictures of him, he's name fits him right.

my boy

I named my dog 'Tucker' after the Toby Kieth song "Jackie Don Tucker"
It just seemed to fit him perfect..it also rhymes with something else when I get mad at him
