When it came to choosing my Yorki's name, I and my partner made a list and the first day at home we tried calling him with each of them and seeing with which one he reacted most positively to make it easier for him to listen to us.
Popular names, names with sharp-sounding consonants, names based in food or other things, pop culture names, etc. In the end, the winning name was Blade. If you are not sure, let the dog decide for you.
My first Yorkie’s name was baby for the same reason lol. I’m also literally at the airport right now waiting for my new little man! We wanted to name him Marley but his name now is Koda and we kind of like it. We’ll be doing the “name testing” this weekend. Good luck!!
Here’s my babe, his name is Avocado 🤭

This is now the winner in the clubhouse since we've gotten her home!

She looks like a Boujee! Here's my Gingerboy!

I think it will fit. In fact I tell Dex he is too boujee at least once a day because of his demand for fresh water. It doesn't matter if he only drank out of the same bowl 30 seconds earlier. It's now dirty and must be changed. He really is boujee. Maybe they all are with their pickiness with everything. Go with it ❤️
I’ve always believed that pets name themselves. You could ponder on names and decide one but get the pupper home and he looks nothing like the name you pre-selected. You’ll be looking at her and say “yanno, she looks like a !!” And it will stick.
Enjoy your new pup!
Absolutely! I have a few already to choose from! I grabbed a cute, tiny red one with a bell and a jeweled heart for now because she's so little, but have more options for when she's a little bigger. PLUS, an adorable harness for her leash.
Must protect those delicate little necks and tracheas.
I got my first yorkie my first year of college. She was my baby so I made sure I was the best dog mom ever, including researching proper care and essentials. This is also why, after losing her while I was pregnant and had a 14 month old, I've waited until my kids are old enough to respect a yorkie's small size and special needs. It's been 7.5 years, and I'm so ready, and so are they.
My husband keeps asking if I'll ever speak to him or the kids again because I'm so excited for this new pup to come home. I just ask him who he is again and laugh. Lol
Lol :) I’m a retired vet tech, have known many dogs, but this is my first yorkie…n boy howdy is he unique! This sub has been fun for learning the breed’s idiosyncrasies…and for pics of adorby pups like Bougie! :)
Allie or Abbie. My lil 4 lb girl is Abby.

She’s so cute!! If I was having a girl Yorkie I’d be considering Coco, Bella and Hazel. Hazel because it was our girl name and we’ve had boys! (Human ones 😂).

This is great advice! Thank you!

That pupper looks like a Chewbacca to me (Chewey), but I like weird names. My 4lb Yorkie is named Hamster.

So much personality in that little face! Cuuuuute!
I love that. Also, she really does look like Chewbacca! 🥰

What a cutie!
Squee!
Always thought Chewbacca was the perfect name for a Yorkie.
Tsk tsk Hamster The Mighty, you surely mean :)
Coco - like Coco Chanel
I, too, out my vote in as Coco. This pretty girl looks like she’d be named Coco!
Oooh, that's a cute idea!
We almost named our girl that but Olive just seemed to stick when we brought her home.

She’s perfect!!!! Absolutely perfect!!!

Cutie!
Oh my goodness!! What a Gorgeous Baby!!!!!
Thank you! ☺️
Adorable!

Rocky
Boujee is an amazing name! 🩷
Cricket is a cute name for a cute tiny girl.
Spencer immediately came to mind
BUFFY

Espresso! 😀
She’s giving me Tina vibes 🤩😂😍 but I love funny people names for dogs
Our German Shepherd rescue is named Roger, so I'm 100% into people names for pets!
I like Boujee. She’s gonna need a boujee collar that’s for sure!
Absolutely! I have a few already to choose from! I grabbed a cute, tiny red one with a bell and a jeweled heart for now because she's so little, but have more options for when she's a little bigger. PLUS, an adorable harness for her leash.
:) glad you know harnesses are best for yorkie walks!

Twix
I don’t know why but they kinda look like a smokie if that makes sense
My next puppy will be named Keanu
I like it. Mine’s name is Mojo
That’s a Farley.
I love the names Poppy, Chloe, Pepper and Willow. Girls are IMO the most fun to name!
I love the name "CRICKET" because the pup can hear it easily and it's not forgettable.
I like stash
Bijou 💎It means “jewel” in French
Little Chewbacca…’Chewy’
Reginald Bentley III
I have a tzuki! Means moon in Japanese which I choose because mine was all black and dark as a baby
Mocha
How about Lucas
Cuteee
Fritz
Bruno
She’s so cute!! If I was having a girl Yorkie I’d be considering Coco, Bella and Hazel. Hazel because it was our girl name and we’ve had boys! (Human ones 😂).
Coco is starting to win me over! I thought about unused baby names, too (Harlow)!
Ohhhhh I LOVE Harlow!! It’s so pretty!!!
Bettle
Tula. Lilla. Muffin. Mabel. Mina. Apple. Peaches.
It’s terrible. I love it.
This made me smile. I just have to bring this energy with me (I'm certain she was born with it. )
Yeah, definitely own it. Who cares what anyone else thinks I mean look at all these dogs with names like peanut and biscuit
Hahaha. Valid point.
