My daughter got a pound dog when she was in college. The dog was a pitbull mix, so my daughter named her Flower, maybe to counter pitbulls' bad reputation. She is the sweetest dog.

We have a Corgi/Jack Russell mix and she was given to us by a family friend whose dog had nine puppies. They named her Lucy and we just kept the name but she also gets called LuLu, Lu, LuLee, Lucifer (when she's naughty), etc. We often use the whole, "Oh, Luucy, I'm hoome!" line. It never gets old.

We rescued a beagle named Jasmine. My husband said that name had to go. So now she's Nickie. I've read several dog training books that recommend that dog names have lots of vowels in them, that's what dogs pick up on plus the inflection of our voices.

I do not have a dog (we have cats) but the names of my grand-dogs are DaVinci, Reed, Einstein and Gia. Woof!

We have a 9 month old shih-poo named Mocha!

Jody: that picture of Lucy looks like she's smoking a cigarette!

My fiance and I have a 6-month-old pointer mix we named Liberty (she was born on July 4). We call her Libby for short.

We have four dogs

1. Cisco = Siberian Huskey
2. Sadie = Yellow Lab
3. Poppidy Pop Pop Pop = Chihuahua
3. Daisey May = Chihuahua

My dog is named Cali, named after California because she is a rescue from near Barstow, California.

We have a chocolate Lab named Tess. I call her Tess Potato because she's such a couch potato.

My Shih Tzu came from a family whose kids insisted I keep the name of the puppy I chose. It was a close call between Cow & Spiderman... I went with Cow. He was the biggest puppy of the bunch and imagine this -- spotted black & white like a holstein. Surprisingly, 8 years later, he is still The Cow. We also have a Golden Lab named Windsor -- and yes, like the whiskey.

I have 2 beautiful white toy poodles. The first one is named Miss Maggie Mae, but I call her Maggie. The second one is Izzy-Bella. She is named after my granddaughter in MN. She answers to Izzy. They are my babies.
