Badger BADGER DOG

MY JACK RUSSELL WAS NAMED BADGER FOR TWO REASON, THE FIRST WAS AS MY SON SAID WE COULDN'T HAVE A DOG I CHOOSE SOMETHING THAT REMINDED HIM OF A CLIP HE USED TO PUT ON MY PC OF CARTOON BADGERS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN ON THE SCREEN WITH BADGER, BADGER, BADGER AS BACK GROUND SONG. WHEN I FIRST SAW HIM HIS FACE MARKINBS WHERE SEMETRICAL AND HE HAD A LOT OF BLACK COVERING BOTH HIS EYES. SINCE HAVING HIM HE ALSO BADGERS THE THREE CATS I ALREADY HAVE...UNFORTUNATELY HIS BLACK MARKINGS HAVE FADED BUT I THINK I CHOSE A PERFECT NAME FOT HIM....AS YET I'VE NOT MET ANOTHER BADGER DOG.

Jinger Ginger to Jinger

We rescued a dog named Ginger. However, everyone in my family has a name that starts with "J", so we changed the spelling of her name to match all of our names.

Raiden Raiden from Mortal Combat

It's actually a video game characters name from Mortal Combat. I am a huge gamer and I couldn't figure out a name that would suit my daschound / yorkie / collie / husky cross puppy. He had so much character and was so ridiculously brave. When I first picked him up my boyfriend and I went to Pet Smart with him to get puppy food, a leash, collar, etc. We put him down to go pee and he went to take a good dash towards the busy road, my boyfriend caught him long before then. But he was determined to make a run for it. So I was fiddling through some names and couldn't find anything that suited him. I decided to play some video games, Mortal Combat to be exact and well, I really liked the name Raiden. I asked around to see if my friends liked it too and all of them were immediately like, "That's awesome! That's a Mortal Combat character!" Low and behold, I named him Raiden and the name suits his personality EXTREMELY well.

The photo is of Raiden and Trigger (Trigger is the brown and white dog)

Zeppo Zeppo the yorkie

I had a litter of 5 boys and I named them all after the Marx brothers. My favorite was the name Zeppo

Keia and Koper Keia and Koper

I chose Keia because when we got our pug, she was so energetic and lively, but, doesn't mind us at all when we "ask" her what name we should pick. Then one day,I accidentally said "KEYA" while asking for keys in a lazy way, then she actually followed me ever since so we named her Keia.

I chose Koper because when we bought Keia and named her, we noticed she wasn't as energetic as before, so, realizing that she was bored, we bought another pug which is Koper. Now, he was a complete opposite of Keia, and responds to ANYTHING. After two days,without naming him, my mom was helping me review about materials that we use to build stuff and when she asked me a question {which the answer is copper}, Koper came out of his hiding spot and went towards me.So we named him that.

P.S. For all who doesn't know how their names are pronounced, well, Keia is pronounced as 'Kiya' and Koper is 'Copper'.

Naga a big scary looking dog but with a friendly personality

Naga comes from the kids show, Legend of Korra. Naga is Korras pet that everyone is afraid of because shes really big and intimidating, but shes really nice.

Cairo Cairo the Sphynx pup

She is a collie...and she sits very much like the Sphynx so we names her cairo!

Sissy Girl Sissy Girl

My little cousin decided that when I got my dog she would name her but we couldn't ever decide upon a name for her so we would just call her Sissy Girl and the name kind of just stuck.

Lucky Blu Lucky to have Blu

Well when I first got the puppy he was little he was only three weeks old and I could figure out a good name for him so I kept think about it and I came up with Lucky Blu because I am lucky to have him and his color is blue so I figured those two together would be a great name for him.
