[HEINOLFGSD]

1. Mossey - Named after the character "Mossie Sheehan" in the movie "Falling For A Dancer". The name just stuck with me and when I got her in 2001 I decided to call her that, but spell it differently.

2. Heinrich - My soon to be 5 year old GSD. I wanted to name him a good strong German name and my friend suggested the name Heinrich. I liked it, so Heinrich it was!

3. Blaise - My soon to be 3 year old GSD. It was her breeders "B" litter and I had to think of "B" name. The name Blaze came into my head randomly, but I wanted to spell it differently. So, I spelled it Blaise. Turns out the breeder was already calling her Blaze because she was the red girl in the litter. So, it was meant to be!

4. Jerry Lee - My one year old GSD. Named after the dog Jerry Lee in the movie K9

5. Sadie - My one year old GSD. I got her last year and the lady who imported her (Melinda Clark of vom Gildaf) was calling her Lulu. But, since I already had a Granny Lou (sometimes called her Loulou) I had to change her name. I had thought of calling her Gitana (her registered name..Gitana vom Stepenitztal) but decided against it. So, I went through dog names online and Sadie just stuck out to me. So, Sadie it was!

6. Emila - Will be 9 weeks old on June 14th. She is the daughter of Heinrich and Blaise. I named her Emila because of her Sire's registered name is Heinrich Konrad Emil von Bayern. Emila's registered name is Ablaise vom Heinrolf. "A" because she is from my "A" litter and "Blaise" in honor of her mother (get it..Ablaise..Ablaze.. hehe) and vom Heinolf is my kennel name.

Zor: it is Turkish for Difficult

 

[DWP]

friend

Pyzon - My wife got and named her while I was deployed. It is Italian for friend, so I thought I would stick with that theme. Our younger GSD female is named Kana, which is Choctaw meaning friend. I am an Okie Choctaw, so why not.

For several years, my hubby and I have named our pets after buildings on the Hiram College campus. That's where Hayden came from (actually, it's Hayden Auditorium, but we left off the "Auditorium" part).

We're running out of naming options now until Hiram puts up some more buildings, lol.

 

[ladybugmomma]

Well we named Dax after the actor Dax Sheperd. But I'm not loving it I hate calling it out.
We're thinking, Leo ( Leonardas) the king of the Spartans,
Spartan,
Finn, after Fin the canucks mascot, Huckleberry fin, and the Irish great warrior.

We have a dachxchihuahua named Nauni, after Lilo and Stitch.
We had Cali the pug, after California. We go to disneyland every 2 years and is very special to us.

 

[ayoitzrimz]

We named Einstein after a dog - not the actual person. But nobody seems to have grown up a Back to the Future fan

In the movie, Doc Brown's dog's name is Einstein. In 14 months, only one person has asked us if he's named after Back to the Future lol

 

[Lilie]

Hondo: the club where my husband and I met over 30 years ago
Von Dopplet L Bauernhof : was my attempt at from or of 'Double L Ranch'.

 

[AbbyK9]

Ronja, my Belgian Malinois, is named after a character in the children's book "Ronia the Robber's Daughter" by Astrid Lindgren. I stuck with the original Swedish. Her registered (ILP/PAL) name is Ronja Roevardotter.

 

[CLARKE-DUNCAN]

Well we really couldn't decide on a name for our pup... We had lots written down... Then my partner came out with Nero.... This is like 8yrs ago and we hadn't really heard anyone calling their pets Nero. So we thought it was different untill we went to the vets one day and stated our Nero's name and they said which one we was pretty gutted...!

Every other person seems to be calling their dog nero now, it has got very common...

Nero the roman emperor....!

 

[frenchie27]

I name our 3 1/2 yr old black GSD Charlie Black Carbia. I just liked "Charlie".....nothing to do with Sheen, trust me...my Charlie is a bundle of joy and love, not crazy. Fits him well, and we sometimes call him also "Charlito" or Charles....or "negrito" which is Spanish is like "blackie". He fills our lives with so much Joy.....

 

[Liesje]

Nikon was a "B" litter and I named him after Bono from U2 because Nikon is very "vocal". Pan was a "P" litter and is named after Pantalaimon from the His Dark Material series (not sure that this name exists anywhere else). Coke is a rescue and was originally called Teddy but we hated that. Coke suits him well, kind if a quirky name for a quirky dog! Kenya was called Chopper when I got her but people thought that meant she was mean so I started calling her Kenya and it stuck.

 

[Ruthie]

Our first dog was a rescue named "Bear". When we got our next dog, we decided to stick with the theme and went with Moose since we didn't like his name, Puck. Since then, we have just picked large animals native to North America. Gator was called Fritz before and Bison is registered Indo. We picked out Grizzly. Not sure what we are going to do when we run out of big animals. Maybe switch themes.

"Maybelline" :

"Good Golly Miss Molly" :

"Kazar" and "Sheba" came to us prenamed.
"Shadow" was named by my now all grown up kids, from the movie Homeward Bound.
"Essie" was short for Esprit de Corps.

 

[lisgje]

Chance's full name is Lisa's Second Chance Bernard Sherman. 2nd chance because I had a previous GSD that had serious health issues, Bernard for my uncle that bought him for me.

 

[cindy_s]

Cues' given name is Quinn Z Old Farm. I really liked Quinn, but my BF hated it. He could only think of Anthony Quinn, and he didn't feel that was appropriate for a little girl. So we tried to come up with something that would make both of us happy. We tried Q Z for a while, but I hated that. So Q Z became Cues.

 

[cta]

chobahn (coban in turkish) means "shepherd." changed the spelling so ppl would pronounce it correctly. when we tell people his name they always say "ohhhhh like the chobani greek yogurt..." yup...just like that

 

[Josh's mom]

Josh is short for Joshua of course, which means "God saves" we're hoping he'll be a working dog and save people Save kids from drugs, save lost old people and kids, save decent people from criminals, ect.

 

[kgulbranso]

Dante' means enduring in Latin. I thought that pretty well described a GSD.

 

[jetscarbie]

Ohh, everybody has such good names. Unfortunately, I am married to a man who comes up with crazy names.

Sebastian-Over the years we actually shortened it so now everybody calls him Bass. Bass fits.

Sissy- When Bass was growing up we use to say "where's Sissy" when my kids where getting off the bus. When we got a female, it just made sense to call her Sissy.

Walt-was named after the kid in the tv show "LOST" We use to laugh everytime the character's father would yell out..."WALT...where's my boy" Remember my crazy, sometime idiot husband I told y'all about? Well, he even registered the dog with that name.
