Why'd you name your boxer that?

[Bodiesmom]

Bodie is named after Preston Brodus or "Bodie" on HBO's The Wire. It is a show about the streets of Baltimore, the police and the drugs. Bodie was a "good drug dealer". He played by the rules and was loyal to his crew. He had a tough front but was a good guy. (well, as far as drug dealers go)

Bodie was DH's and my favorite character on our favorite show and we both thought the name really fit a boxer since they look tough but are sweethearts.

Falko- After the characters name "Shane Falko" in the Replacements football movie.
Annabelle- After Shane Falko's girlfriends characters name in the same movie.

Cats: Patches- she is a Calico and we lived on "patches drive"
CJ (aka Fatboy)- After my DH's CJ5 Jeep (fatboy, cuz he got fat)
Cody- We brought him home from Wyoming, Cody, Wyoming

We chose Diesel because he just looked like a garage dog- he was always dirty from hiding in the shade under our car! So Diesel just kind of fit him. Then when Dolly came about,she had already had the name from the lady who we got her from, and I had wanted to name her Dixie, just because I thought the two "D" names were cute together, but when we got Dolly, it just fit her , so we didn't change it.

We needed two years to decide whether or not to get a dog and what breed (My husband and I only had cats as pets previously). During this time we always spoke of our "Emma". Her litter was the 21st of her breeder and, therefore, her registration name had to begin with an "U". So we named her Umma just for registration, but the name stuck and for five years now she is our Umma.

I chose Tagalong for my girl long before she was even conceived. I am a person to take my furchild everywhere with me, so that was one reason. The name comes from one of the rabbits in the animated movie "Robin Hood". The breeder names all her dogs (she shows Pomeranians) after animated cartoon characters. My baby's mom is Jessie -- after Jessica Rabbit and Jessie's mom is Lola -- for Lola Bunny from Space Jam. So I decided to stick with the rabbit theme she had going for my boxer baby.

We lost our best friend, Cooper, 3 months ago. We loved his name and can't remember where we found it.

We are picking up our new furbaby on Sunday (rescue) and we think her name will be Gibson.

I have had boxers all my life... Morgan, Brandi, Baxter.

Love all of your names too!

Oh, and if we ever got a white boxer... we would name her Luna for the moon.

My girl's name is Foxy. My fiancee' named her and ended up picking her out of a little of 9. I couldn't choose of course...she prances like a princess when she walks. And her back end sashayee's behind her; Foxy just fit. She runs the house and everybody in it... Foxy works for her! Foxy Lady is what I thought of at first but Foxy was perfect!

I posted this in another thread but realise the background of the name is more suited to this thread... sorry. I'm new here and am still a bit overwhelmed by the number of forums around here

We thought and discussed for weeks a name for our little girl, we had 5 weeks between viewing the litter/purchasing her and picking her up to decide. We wanted a unique name with two syllables. It was really hard coming up with a name for a female we realised!! Something that was different but not too wierd.

We decided on "Mirka" who is named after a famous Melbourne artist Mirka Mora. Mirka the original also has long association with a lovely restaurant in St Kilda which has recently undergone a huge renovation and is now called simply Mirka. It was dining here with friends over Easter that we finalised the name for our gorgeous girl

I decided on Lance for my new boxer. The real reason is because most of our pets are named after characters in the movie "Pulp Fiction" (cat named Jules, black lab mix named Mia) though our new golden retriever puppy is named Murphy, after Murphy's Irish Stout. A lot of people think it's because I'm heavily into cycling, so he's named after Lance Armstrong. I guess that's ok too

Master Tyson Alexander is Ty's full name. When I got his ACK papers I found that his fathers name had Master and Alexander in it. I wanted a boxer name and was debating when I realized that my brother's dobermen was named Bryson, so I decided on Tyson. Thought it was kinda cute to rhyme. My father passed away 1 month before Ty came into our family and his intials was MT, so it was also sentimental.
