slim86 Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 My GSD got his name from my wife. She's in love with the actor who played Strider/Aragorn on Lord of the Rings. His name is Viggo so being the secure guy that I am, I let her name him viggo when she asked me about it. I like the name for a GSD. Everybody in my family thought it was kind of lame though.

ellieangel Posted April 29, 2003 Author Posted April 29, 2003 Oooooooooooooooooh your wife has great taste I just :iloveyou: Aragorn-swoon Quote
Malamum Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 oooooooh me too. Someone mentioned Legolas in another post the other day, he is cute but I really like Aragon - I like the roughed up look a bit more :modla: Quote
Queen Bitch Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Yes he was K. He probably doesn't look too good now though... :( Quote
Queen Bitch Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 He died. I think it was a horse riding accident, but I'm not sure. *his name was Kevin Smith I believe... Quote
Queen Bitch Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Yeah, it's not like there is that much good "scenery" on tv these days, and then when there is, such a beautiful talented man tragically loses his life. Not fair. :( Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Did he really die or was it just in the show? :o Quote
Bronxie Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 ellieangel napisał(a):I kinda touched on this in another topic ! I'm just curious as to how you thought up/chose your doggies names. We seem to get quite a few people looking for inspiration on here and I thought it would make an interesting thread ! My first pup Ellie was named partly after my Aunty Elly who lives in Holland the kids wanted to call her angel so I told them that would be her middle name !! But I changed the spelling so as not to offend Elly no need though she is a dog lover and thought it was great !!! Rio's name was a compromise ! my hubby is a massive manchester United fan and just after the world cup everyone was raving about Rio Ferdinand over here so he suggested Rio and I said I could live with that as I had been a huge Duran Duran Fan as a kid and it suited him too !!! Come on tell me yours ! :Dog_run: Aww your pups name is Ellie also :D One of my favorite movies is Legally Blonde and Reese Witherspoon's name in that movie was Elle so that's how I picked the name. :o Quote
bk_blue Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Mmm-mmm, Viggo Mortensen with long hair and lots of sweat. :D :D :D One of my best friends has lusted after Xena for years, NOBODY is allowed to talk when Xena is on!! :roll: Quote
slim86 Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Okay, I'm sorry I mentioned Viggo Mortensen. Just wanted to tell you how my dog got his name. :D Slim Quote

ellieangel Posted June 26, 2003 Author Posted June 26, 2003 What my little topic :oops: Shucks Rosebud I'm flattered :oops: Good idea ! :wink: Quote
bullygirl29532 Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 well since i have a new dog since this was originally posted i'll add My new girls name. Some people may think this is corny but we named her STARLING as in agent starling from the Silence of the lambs series. so now we have Lecter and Starling and their relationship is true to form with the movies very love/antagonistic and amusing as they jostle for position.

courtnek Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 the guy who played Hercules was pretty sweet too, but I like the Aragorn/rough look better. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 :D I chose Axel's name because he is a pure bred Alsation and because he is a male i couldnt name him Allie... so axel the alsation. It was either that or sabre and although i would have prefered sabre he wouldnt come to that name but my boys loved the name Axel also so i guess i was out voted 3 to 1 . Quote
spiritsmom Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 I have alot to go through so bear with me! Scruffy (bridgekid) - He was a scruffy little dog when I bailed him out of the shelter and looked like a mini version of the Old English Sheepdog I grew up with, her name was Scruffy so I named him that too. Alex (bridgekid) - My parents got him when I was a kid, he came with the name. Snickers (bridgekid) - My brother namen him that because he had the colors of the candy bar. Monty - Named after Monty Python. Heidi - Her name was Sara Lee at the shelter, but my mom preferred Heidi because she is german herself. Rookie - My brother named him because he is a rookie cop himself. Spirit - named in memory of Snickers. I was playing with calling her either Rainbow (as in the Rainbow Bridge) or Spirit. I chose Spirit and her full registered (AMBOR/UKC) name is Snickers' Evil Spirit In The Sky. Kara and Kyra - was flipping through a pet name book and these 2 appealed to me. Their former names were Tabby and Paja, didn't quite like those. Plus I like how their names sound alike! Mystic - I wanted to incorporate Spirit's name into her registered name and was deciding between Pagan Spirit (Pagan) and Mystical Spirit (Mystic). Well, Mystic won out because that is more "politically correct" than the other name! Sure would have loved to name her Pagan though! Another dog I will! Quote
Bentleythewonderdog Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 My little guy is named Bentley after the childrens book titled "Snowflake Bentley" it's the 1999 Caldecott Medal winner for the most distinguished American picture book for children awarded to the books artist. Its' about a man named Wilson Bentley whom back in the 1920's loved the beauty of snow so much that he was determined that his camera would capture the extraordinary and unique beauty of snowflakes. . . and of course I felt that Bentley would be the perfect name for my beautiful Maltese. I work in a childrens library and the name seemed appropriate. Everyone assumes that he is named after the car but tis inspired by a book. I registered him as Renoir's Snowflake Bentley. The Renoir comes from our last name and is fitting because of my husband artistic talent. It just all seem to tie together perfectly. Quote
