How did you find your boxer's name?

[Hazy_Bam-Bam]

Bam's original name was going to be Teddy Bear, but when we got him he was always running into walls and tripping over his own feet (and still is ), so we renamed him Bam-Bam. :p

Hazy was named that because she is a beautiful animal. She is a Grey Wolf mixed with a Siberian Husky and that name just seemed to fit her.

Tuffy is named after a bennie baby, I went so long trying to find a name for him that suited him, but they never felt right. A friend had some bennie babies and the dog was named Tuffy. So when he had to go to the vet and they asked his name, I wrote down Tuffy.

Now as for Cannilla and Ginger they where both rescues so they came with their names.

Ikaika was named by my friend (who lives in Hawaii). She con'd me into thinking it was a custom to have a friend name your dog. (tho I think it is an excellent name). Ikaika means strong and king like.

I wanted to name my female Lily. However, my mom said I should keep the Hawaiian names going. So I searched and searched, I called my friend and I came up with Mailani which means from heaven.

We got Ginger for Christmas and wanted a festive name (as in Gingerbread). Also she is the color of gingerbread and the name seemed to fit her.

A middle eastern friend of mine was very taken with my irish heritage and she insisted that my baby girl have a Celtic name, so she found a web page with female Celtic names and we went through the names looking at my baby after each one. We settled on Kaitlin, and she usually gets called Katie or sweet-pea (but dont tell my sister that, i call her skin-kids sweet-pea too) And one day Katie was being particularly "2yr oldish" and i called her "Kaitlin Ann" so i guess she now has a middle name too!

 

[Clover's Mom]

Clover was going to be named "Hazel" because it just went "Ginger" (her eyes are very light, the color of whatelse ginger), "Brutus" (after teh Ohio State Buckeyes Mascot), and "Hazel" sounded sweet and kind to me, but to my DH it sounded like a name a witch would have. So we argued and argued, can you believe he wanted to name her "flopsey", I claimed she would hang her head in shame at the dog park (no offense if anyone named the pup flopsey). So after about 2 hours of throwing out names, we finally realized the day Clover was coming home...and if you're thinking St. Patty's Day, you're right...so her offical name is Lucky Clover Leaf. But we call her "Cloves" or "Clover". And it was easy to find hats and whatnot because of the holiday.

My name...

Sadie which means: LOYAL AND STRONG- lovicon
My parents were very worried because I was not gaining weight or doing much growing, but now they see how strong I'm getting!!!! Loyalty only comes with time.

Well, my ten 10 year old daughter named Joe. She loves Joe Boxer stuff. Her bedspread, sheets, and pillows are all Joe Boxer. Her bathroom is all done in Joe Boxer too. So when we decided to get her a Boxer, it just seemed natural that She picked the name Joe!

The man who owns the Joe Boxer Co. had a boxer named Joe, hence the name. Just a little trivia for those who did not know that.

I see many dogs got their name from a moviestar. Axel too. When I hadn't got more idea I started to look TV magazine. I thought I perhaps found a good and suitable name for him. There was The Beverly Hills Cop on programm and Eddie Murphy's name was Axel Foley in it. I repeated it then I asked the family what was their oppinion. They said it's a good name. Nowadays sometimes we just say "ks-ks" and he runs.
Aldo's name was Nico at the rescue but we didn't want this name and he didn't pay attention at this. My husband founded his name in the dog's nameday collection.

We had four people trying to come up with names (my husband and I and our two kids, girl - 14 & boy - 10). We all had different names and couldn't agree on any, so we got out the book of baby names we had from trying to find names for our skinkids.

The only one we could all agree on was Ruby, then dad said how about Ruby Tuesday and that name stuck.
