The name game! We play this every time a new pet
comes into our lives. What makes a good name for
our pets? How do we come to find that perfect
name that represents both the personality of the
animal and satisfies our ability to show off our
own attitude? I have to say that I often name
my pets with this thought behind it, “Can I call
that name and be proud?” When we first brought
home my daughter's dog, he was so cute, we
started to call him Yoda. YODA… HERE YODA… nope,
that one did not stick, and the name Tucker came
to mind. This rolled off the tongue much easier
for us than Yoda and didn’t come with a lesson
in humility.
I was searching for the top pet names on the web
and found that many of us use names that have
come to be sort of iconic in the American
culture. Spot, Buddy, Fido, Patches, all names
at the top of the web lists as common names. So
what’s your poison when it comes to finding that
perfect name? Are you one that loves music and
looks for a verse, or name in a song, or singer?
Maybe you want your pet's name to reflect your
love of books, authors, movies, places, or maybe
you want to call your new dog your husband's old
girlfriend? Whatever path you follow to name
that pet, it’s a very personal choice and
something we live with for (hopefully) a long
time. So choose wisely and take your time.
Creative names make for wonderful scrapbooking
titles! Take a peek at these cute layouts that
show a true passion for finding that perfect
name or nickname. I loved each of these and
found them true and right on target when it came
to the animals!

Journaling:
When we got our little min pin three years
ago, we could not decide on a name. Buddy,
Bodacious and Rambo were the top three
choices. We gave him a "middle" name of
Scott like his dad and little brother.
Kleinman was just the cherry on top!
Sidenote: this is his actual registered
name! It is quite a name for such a small
doggie!

Design note:
I
wanted the photo of my best friend to really
be the focus of this layout. I added some
additional details to the flowers and
circles I cut out with the gel pens (both
black and white) and black ink. |

Design note:
With
the layout being primarily black and white,
I wanted to add a touch of color with the
orange. With a bit of orange patterned
paper behind the photo, and also the orange
thread that I used to add dimension around
the layout, makes it pop.

Journaling: Your name came very easy
to us. You were all black, a tiny body and
a large head. Vader was perfect.
