We named Ruben after Ruben "Huricain" Carter but, everyone asks if it's after Ruben Studderd from American Idol. yeah that's annoying.

We named our boy Dempsey after Jack!! And he could be just as tough when he wants whatever it is that he can't have and Jackhammers the floor till he gets it!!

We named Cheyenne that because my husband has always loved the name. I call her my Chey-Chey or my baby girl. My only daughter so.........:)

It all started with the little one...

Well, when we went 3 hours from home to pick up our first dog we had a lot of time on the way home to think of a name for him. He's a black and tan miniature pinscher. We thought of all the cutesy hahaha names for a little dog like him, but then we got onto the subject of all things cop-related since that is what both my husband and I did for a living when we met. We went through Bullet, all the guns (Smith & Wesson, Glock, Remington, etc...) and for some reason out came the name Kevlar. It fits him and everyone who meets him makes a comment about his name (it is the material bullet-proof vests are made of). He's my little protector too.

So when we got our boxer about 6 months later...we were challenged to come up with a good girl name. I wanted something feminine like Honey or Ginger or something cutesy like that - but since she was the husbands pick (the little one was mine) and he wanted to keep up the cop theme, it took us a couple of days to come up with Siren but it suits her as well - because it fulfills his cop theme, but she does act like a prissy siren from the 50's (except when farting like an old man) and Siren was a character in greek mythology.

In the process he came up with the name of the next male dog - Tazer (didn't sound good as a girls name to me). Sheesh....my life!

we didn't get ot choose our boxers name as we bought her at 18 months but her name is ruby. Very wise as she is a ruby-like colour!

Crash earned his name...

The first day we had him home he ran into everything. We had some other names picked out but after spending time with him - the other names just didn't fit.
At one of his vet visits - the girl that works at the front desk told me she thought his name was different and asked how we came up with it. As if on command my crazy little boy ran head first into the window. I didn't need to give her an explanation. He took care of that himself! He has great comic timing. :)

We named our Boxer Brandywine..from Lord of the rings in the first movie they crossed the Brandywine bridge.

We named our Chow Sophie because it is a old family name.

We named our Rotty Helga one because she is german and two from Harry Potter Helga Huffelpuff.

Well, We have a cat (rescued from the Desert) she is all black and my son named her Shadow.
When we brought home our Boxer puppy, my husband wanted to pick her name (it was his arm twisting that drove us to a Boxer). We played around with a couple of names. She was the second smallest to the runt (but don't let that fool you). She is huge!!! We kept saying that she reminded us of a female Atilla the hun (sp?) but since she was female, we were going to name her Matilda but call her "Mattie". Instead we named her Madeline but we call her "Maddi". That was our strange train of thought.

Our baby hasn't been born yet, but originally my finace wanted to name it Apollo, after Apollo Creed from Rocky, so you're not the only one out there! However, we think we have chosen Tyson instead for a boy and Sadie for a girl. But it always depends on what fits 'em!

We have Cassius for the obvious reason.....Ali's real name Cassius Clay. We mostly call him Cash though. The name Cash applies more, because we've spent lots of it since aquiring the little goose! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
I don't care how much I have to spend on this guy, he's worth every red cent!

Love my Cashy Boy
