Hi guys.

We are so excited to let you know we are getting a new puppy. HE is a small chihuahua who will be about 4 pounds fully grown. We wont receive him until towards the end of April but we are looking for the perfect name. Not sure why he is photograph was taken on a pink blanket but he is a boy. This little guy is 5 weeks old in this picture.

This wee fellow will be a little brother to Lily our miniature dauchund.

I think such a little guy needs a big name.  I'm sure he will be a little big man.   bear_grin Most of these tiny dogs don't realize their size.  I have 3 big dogs and a yorkie.  The yorkie thinks she is the same size as the big dogs.  They do humor her and lay down to make her think she's winning the wrestling match.

Are you searching for an english name or foreing name?

Hmmmm what about "Tornado" he's going to be a whirl wind of activity when you get him. Just going and going, he'll be a little storm for sure. He's adorable , I am so happy that you are getting a little brother for Lily. Can't wait to see what the other names are.

big hugs

How about Alphabit? Alfie for short - and cos he's just a little bit of a dog bear_original (and also cos Chihuahuas can be pretty alpha!)

bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub what a sweetheart, I love the brown and white blend.
I would name him Odie, as I had a cat named Garfield, and always wanted a dog to name Odie.  So thats my choice, good luck with that sweetheart, and we have a lily in the family also, a Boston Terrier, black & white.

Oh you guys! I love it!

I agree with giving this little guy a big name Millie. He is going to be so tiny it will suit him. We are not looking any particular name such as an English name but I do find Garnet a bit picky with the names I have come up with so far.  Between you and me, this man likes names like Spot and Sparky. Oh my gosh, thats why I enlisting your help. Yikes!

Shane Tornado is adorable and now you have me worried about What Have Gotten Our Selves Into! Ha Ha Ha. Brenda, I love the name Alfie, he is the runt of the litter and to this point the quiet one in the bunch. Lily will be bossing him around I am sure. I also love the name Odie too Pat. We had a cat years ago we named Odie and she lived to the age of 18. Her little sisters name was Magoo. Hah Ha Brenda! Floyd is adorable as he looks like a scapper for sure!

Thanks so much guys, we have started a list.

He is absolutely adorable!! bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub

As a person who is ruled and owned by two chihuahuas I always feel that they need two names.  That way when they are silly or steal something you can say "Bessie Buttons did you steal that?"  Or "Miette Minerva Monroe you are such a silly monkey!" 

My tri-color Bessie started out with Bessie Buttons but when I got my little black one I had to hurry up and name her because she needed to get to the vet right away so I named her Miette.  That is French for something small and precious.  Somewhere along the way she ended up with Minerva Monroe being added to that.  She will tell you that is her stage name.  bear_rolleyes

The first chihuahua I ever had was with an ex-boyfriend and I named him Paul Bunyan.  It fit him because he had no idea that he wasn't 12 foot tall.  So they need names as big as their personalities if you ask this chihuahua lover!

Whatever you name him he will be pure love and joy and the funniest comedian you have ever seen perform!

Enjoy!

Bandy - short for Bandito.  Jester - looks as if he could be a bit of clown.  Rowdy - he might be when he gets a little bigger.  Scrappy - little, but tough. 

He'll make a nice companion for Lily  . . . both are sooooo cute!

What a gorgeous little baby!  bear_wub I have a parti coloured little girl who is a teeny one ; she is called Delphi .
I think your new little chap looks like a "Buster" - or if he's a little quiet in temperament a "Beau". You're guaranteed to wonder how you ever got on
without him after the first 10 minutes .... and so will your beautiful little Lily  bear_happy
Lucky All of You !

Hey Louise, I just happened to run across this today and thought of you, I was looking for something else and stumbled onto this .

Ciro: This short masculine Mexican Chihuahua name means “the sun† or “sol†. Your boy companion canine will certain become the sunshine of your life as together you play, romp, walk, and cuddle daily.

I thought it would be perfect as you know he is going to be the sunshine of your life and will hopefully be the sunshine in Lilies life too.

hugs

Oh Louise congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  He is simply adorable  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub   If I was only able to have one dog.. it would be my sweet Chihuahua Sequoya.  I was never a small dog person until her.  She's the light of my life!!!  You will just love this little boy  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub

As for names... I love surfing thru Petfinder.com.  There are some great names there!  Just be careful you don't add another to your family LOL!!  That's where I found Sequoya  bear_grin   I mean HER, not her name LOL!

You guys are great! Thank you all for some excellent ideas. The list is going and once we get closer my family is going to sit down and start widdling it down to one.

We always had big dogs too. I loved my big girls more than anything and Lily is our first wee baby. We love and adore her and think she would love a little friend she can play with and of course knowing her, boss around. I think she will take on a Mommy role with this little man.

Thanks again guys!

"Nipper!"  He definitely looks like a "Nipper!"

The little dog that was seen looking into the bell of a gramophone in the old RCA radio logo was named Nipper.

Louise, he is adorable!!! I 'll bet that you can't wait to bring him home. I don't have any suggestions for a name but I am sure that he will run the household even if he turns out to be a  Spot or Sparky  bear_grin  bear_grin

I'm so glad  you are getting a new puppy! Congratulations. I like Sue Annes name Bandito or Bandit. He has that bandit mask doesn't he? If you want more suggestions, how about the name Augustus (Gus, Gus for short). I had a Carine Terrier named Augustus Pegasis and we called him Gus as a nick name.

If you remember the old 1960's vintage cartoon series, "Jonny Quest" the little dog's name was "Bandit."  :)
