I'm just curious, but how did you come up with the names for your beagles?

 

[Snoopy]

Princess Fiona from Shrek =)

I named my dog Toby after my favorite country singer at the time. Just think that if you were a dog, what would you wanna be called? Would you really wanna be called Fido or something crazy like that? I cant stand generic names that people give their dogs. I think Fiona is interesting though. I like that name.

Oh my gosh, Casey, yes. I adopted an SPCA beagle, pure bred, and her name was Poochie. I said 'I don't think so' and that night we lied down on the floor and discussed it. We decided on Katie, and she answered to it instantly. Poochie? Geez.

My husband and I are pretty big sci-fi/fantasy dorks. Our Jack Russell is named after a character in Firefly, Kaylee; so when we got our new puppy we named him Jack after Jack in Lost.

My hubby & I named our male Lucky because I've always wanted to name a dog that. People always said, "oh that's way too common" but around here I don't know a single dog named Lucky. It suits him well. He is crazy & lucky to have such a loving home. We named our female Diamond because Danny just didn't stick & she's my Diamond in the rough. ) Sweety pie she is. My sis in law made a picture with Lucky in the middle, and a few pics of Diamond around him, with a sky background, saying "Lucky in the sky with Diamond" hahahaa

Badger = Type of animal hounds used to hunt.

You know, I've never met a dog named Rover or Fido. I've only seen them in the movies, but you know they are out there. If my Katie began as a Poochie, than someone must have a Rover.

 

[Aarooogh!]

You know, I've never met a dog named Rover or Fido.

I used to work with someone who had two basset hounds: one was named Fido and the other Rover. Other than that, though, I've never known a real dog named either.

As for our dogs, we've just sort of let the names evolve. After two or three weeks, whatever we've called them the most is what their official names became. After that, they've usually gone through a whole series of ever-changing nicknames. Our current beagle's name is Mable, and that was the name that the breeder's little girl named her. A couple of weeks after bringing her home, we found ourselves calling her Mable as well, so Mable it was. As for nicknames, she also goes by and responds to Pupper, Gooner, Maybelline, Puppus, Quanzo and Tire Nose.

I love nicknames. My dogs have a few of those, too, and they definitely respond to them.

 

[TanksMommy]

Tank.. well because he is one!! He is full of muscle and will just run into you..

 

[Orrymain]

It's an unusual name so I like that too. My dogs didn't have unusual names but the important thing is that the name fits.

 

[justontime]

She already had a name when she came to us, she was Meg and is now Megan.

 

[svitlana]

I have two beagles male and female their names are Hunter and Kira

 

[Missy]

Bruno....because I was looking at one brawny and seemingly fierce puppy.

 

[casey_chevelle]

Toby (and another beagle I had a year ago named Ringo) didnt care what i called them. they got excited and nearly tripped over each other to get to me or anyone in my family. honestly, i think naming animals is more for humans than the animal. they can care less and we think so hard about it. i bet they would laugh at us if they knew how hard we think of names for them, when to them, other dogs are named, that one, the other one, and the big one. haha.

 

[andyhunter99]
