Thanks to Frankie for coming up with the idea of doing a name game on July 4th. We can't wait to read about how everyone got their names!! We wish we had some big complicated reason that we are named what we are named...Oh well, we blame our humans for spending too much time reading and watching silly movies and TV shows....Anyway...here goes...
Bilbo
I had the unfortunate timing of being born around the same time that the silly Lord of the Rings trilogy made it's movie debut....Mama and Daddy actually named me when they were on their way to pick me up...Little did they know how I would live up to my name. I am named after Bilbo Baggins, and I am a headstrong pup that doesn't like adventure. I also wish I had a magical ring that I could put on and become invisible! Needless to say, Mama did not think this name through....you would be amazed what people thought she was calling me when I was a puppy...That was one of the main reasons she started calling me Boney Man. Boney Man is my biggest nickname besides NO and OUTSIDE BILBO!
Dory
I bet you all don't have to guess too hard to know what character I was named after
...yep..."Keep on Swimmin'" Dory!
Our humans named me Dory because I am ever so outgoing, always happy and want everyone to be my friend...whether they want to or not. I am also fond of shiny things! I have many nicknames including Mama's favorite, Little Missy Poo Poo and Dorable (after some silly computer in a Heinlein novel).
and Last but not least
Jacob
My name came from some silly show that Mama and Daddy didn't even WATCH until the beginning of this year then they couldn't stop watching it and watched all the seasons in just a few months!
I am the strong silent type like this Jacob...plus Daddy said that he couldn't name me after the man in black, cause they never told us his name.
Some people think that I was named after this Jacob
But Mama is totally on Team Edward....I say why couldn't I have a normal name like Spot or Rover???
It could have been worse I suppose, Mama was really close to naming me Oy after some silly thing called a Billy Bumbler in a book series she reads over AND over.
The humans are just starting to call me by nicknames cause I just learned my name. Lately they have been calling me Jake...and Jakey Boy.
Well, those are our names....and how we got them.
Well, the names our humans call us. We all have or special dog and kitty names that no one else knows!
Happy 4th of July and Happy Sunday!!
Team Edward all the way!
ReplyDelete(ahem) I mean, that is so cool how all of you got your names! They all fit you perfectly!

You all have great names! And tell your mama that I'm Team Edward too!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting how you got your names!!! I got my name, Chloe, just because my Mama liked that name...no real reason! Lady already had her name because we rescued her! Hope you have a Happy Fourth of July!!! xoxoxo Chloe and LadyBug
ReplyDeleteMy Mommas first dog was named after Samwise Gamgee but that was before the films had even been made. I love the fact your Mama named you after film folk as mine does that film, books & tv shows. So far she has had Samwise from LOTR's, Willow from Buffy, Mad Max, Bertie Wooster, Jazzy Jeff of Bel Air and now me Molly who breaks the theme..........bol ( although she does call me Molly Moon sometimes after the pug in the books )

Woof! Woof!Dory - your the 3rd doggie I know that got their name from a character. How GREAT is that. Mmm did you say,Boney Man??? Team Edward!!! Thanks for sharing. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteDory - I had no idea you were named after Dory in Nemo! I watch that movie with my 4 year old sister ALL the time - I think I may know the lines by heart.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jacob - wow! My mama and papa were HUGE Lost fans! And don't tell anyone, but my mama had a secret crush on Jacob.
Bilbo - again, we are big fans of Lord the Rings!
Your pal, Pip
Great stories about your names! My mom is a big fan of all of the characters you was named after too!
ReplyDeleteHappy July 4th!
Woofs and Licks,

I luvs how you got all of your names and they fits you all SO well! I've often thought that Bilbo looked a bit Hobbit-like. Um, but I mean that in the best of ways! Hobbits are cute! And Dory just fits Dory. But I don't think your Dory has short-term memory loss, does she?

We loved reading your naming stories.

Hi all! Frankie is a genius to have come up with such a great game! We're having so much fun finding out how our pals got their names. Funnily enough we posted about how we got our names a few weeks ago so we haven't joined in this game in pupson, we're just enjoying 'watching from the sidelines'!!
ReplyDeleteWe loved finding out how you all got your names - we had our suspicions from the start though, he he he! Over here we know two Bilbos and one Jacob but no Dory. We think you all suit your names beautifully and we love your nicknames!

It is nice to know how you pupsters got your names...They all fit so well...you know what they say about living up to your name. It works!
ReplyDeleteMom chuckled about the 'Dorable' name because she reads (and re-reads, and re-re-reads) Heinlein all the time). I love reading about where we all got our names - such creative parents! And don't worry, given our names, my parents apparently watch WAY too much teevee! Heehee! Happy Fourth of July!

Oh what great stories! Bilbo we could have guessed, but so fun to hear the others, since they are based on things mom likes too! Carmen's firstmom (Dr. Lori) told us to be careful what we picked as names because the dogs tend to grow into them! Looks like it worked for you guys, I better look out b/c I have a Drama Queen for a sister!

Dory Bilbo and Jacob!!!
ReplyDeleteBilbo,My mom miss read you your nalme in the beginning. She thought it was Bilbro...do you know why...there is a professor at her work named Prof. Bilbro. So her crazy mind would not let her read Bilbo.
Mom is so glad to know that your mom loves the Twilight series too. When she read the first book she was a little embarassed because she thougth it was for teenage girls..then she said what the heck, if it is a good book who cares. She REALLY likes Edward too even though she says Jacob is a HUNK!!! LoL my mom cracks me up.
I wish Mom had played that name game thing...maybe she'll chime inwith it later this week.
Happy 4th
Madi and Mom
Well, it could have been worse. Your mom could have made Dory's first name Front or Back. Then it would have been Front Dory or Back Dory! :)
ReplyDeletehee hee I just cant help but giggle when I think of what people heard instead of bilbo :)
ReplyDeleteIt has been very interesting to know about your names!
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day!
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza
Happy Independence Day, you guys!
ReplyDeleteLuv,

We have had a lot of fun finding out why everyone has the name they have. This post is too funny - we love all your names no matter where they came from. Dory - that is just perfect for you. And Bilbo - we don't think we could think about you with any other name. Jacob, hmmmm, very interesting background to your name, but it is a great strong name for you.
ReplyDeleteHope you all had a great 4th.
Woos - Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
I love the name stories! I never thought about confusion that your mom person might have had when telling people about your name, Bilbo! My mom person laughed & laughed!
ReplyDeleteI think all your names suit you fine... and it has grown into each of your characters too. Happy Independence Day and have a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteLicks, hero
What a fascinating idea!!! I love all the name stories!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th July~!
ReplyDeleteHope you all have a nice n fun day =]

Coooool!
ReplyDeleteThose are extra special names!
Bare with me while I update my posts to include your Hawaii pictures.
Yay Hawaii!
Very interesting where you each got your names. We are team E here too. Although, mom has not seen any of the movies she did read the books. She is more of a reader than a movie watcher. Your names are perfect for you too.
