Now the Soph, she came to us at 15 months old, from a breeder who called her Saffi. So it seem to us that another human name was appropriate, and she would'nt have any problem catching on to that name. dancing

"Mojo" came to us with his name and it suits him well...he's full of spunk! Reg name is Dury Voe Voodoo Magic.

"Luna" means moon in spanish and we wanted something to go along with her dad's name (Selkirk San Marco). I originally got the idea to have a puppy named Luna from Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter books. Reg name is "Misty Mt Blue Moon"

"Ardie" got his name because when he was a puppy he looked like an Aardvark.

"Sierra" came to us with her name.

"Jenny" was also already named.

"Cody" was named by his breeder and we really liked the name as well. He kind of looks like a furry bear so we named him "Triple H Mid Knight Kodiak Bear".

"Sera" was orignally named Sierra, but we already had a Sierra so we just shortened it.

"Bindi" was already named, but I think it suits her well.

"Stormy" got her name because well, she kind of looks like a storm with the sable-merling she has. She has 1 eye that's half blue and half brown, so we named her "Misty Mt Eye of the Storm".

"Panda" got her name because her markings made her look like a panda bear...especially as a puppy.

"Sadie" is one I don't have a profile for. She stayed with my parents after I moved. I had her name picked out before I got her, just because I liked it. Her whole litter was named based of Alcohols, so her registered name is "Triple H Kahlua Shooter" The "Shooter" part is because her breeder said when she was born, she kind of just "shot" right out.

"Alice" is our newest puppy who we haven't posted yet...I got her name from Alice Cullen in the Twilight books.

Chewbacca- (Bacca)

Well, my teenage son named Chewbacca. It seemed like a totally silly name to me, but because we'd just lost our forever pup, Timber, and he was ambivalent about getting a new Sheltie, I gave this to him.

Well at first his nickname, Chewie, totally fit, because as a baby he chewed everything. But the second part of his name started fitting more and more - Bacca - this is a derivative of the Greek God of Wine - Bacchus - and is refers to "a state of frenzy"....well, we've all experienced Sheltie "zoomies". Just seemed to fit. So Bacca he is!

Firefly

Lighting up my- mom's heart....		 
 
Barked: Wed Dec 30, '09 3:19pm PST 
I came up with Firefly's name by naming her after a song I like. It was Nickelback's "If Everyone Cared" and it mentioned fireflies, and I was like "Awhh, I can just imagine how beautiful fireflies at sunset are." So on the way to get her from the breeder, I heard the song and stuck firmly to 'Firefly'.

Plus, my family also has a tendency to name their animals after insects, BOL. Firefly is my Sheltie, and Ladybug is my mom's Chihuahua, and Honeybee was my mom's pug before she passed onto the bridge...

But the next Sheltie I plan to get will probably be called Kalen.

Hella Bella got her name bc she is a bit of a nut!!!
Smurf came with his name and he is blue. He really is a very serious dog and Smurf would not have been my first choice.

I did not like the name the wife wanted for our first Sheltie. After we had her for a couple days I said to myself 'she sure is cute as a button'. So I named her Buttons. About a year later we decided to get another Sheltie, the breeder brought her to our house. While talking we asked what will we name her, what would go with Buttons. The breeder was only kidding, but we said 'that's perfect' when he suggested Bows. So we had Buttons & Bows. All the rest came from rescues so they kept their original names.
