This is going to sound a bit technical, but animals respond better to names that are not composed of only "glides" (linguistics term(. Meaning, They like abrasive sounds better, like J, CH, K, T, SP, etc. All of the sounds in "Holly" are either unvoiced, or are glides. They don't produce a lot of sound, so animals don't hear them as well.

Do I make any sense?

So you are saying that Gigi is a better name for a dog than Holly anyway because of the "J" sounds? Hurrah!

to all.

LOL, Eeyor.. thats why when I say CHEWY...she comes a running.... could have something to do with my firm voice too though....
Ive always thought if I get another dog and it seemed fitting, Id name it after the dog in Island of the blue dolphins..(not sure of the spelling)..Rontoo...and of course, little Rontoo arooo.. I loved that show..

eeyores is quite correct, they do respond to such sounds.. like Kizzy, Critter, Katie, etc.

We learned that from much reading and going to seminars and such when breeding our labs.

My real name, not good. Eeyores real name, Hermie's real name.. very good :-)

Happy New Name, Gigi

Plus you can sing to her, Hermie.

I've also read that 2-syllable names work better as well. Of course, I've given my last two dogs 3-syllable names (shrugs).

See??!??!! I have been trying to tell y'all that Juju is an excellent name for a beautiful sweet new doggie (or hermit crab or mouse or ferret or duck)!! Now, most likely, she is really named Juju, but she is just responding to the Gigi name because it sort of sounds like Juju. Try calling her Juju for a while and see what happens. GigiJuju would also be a good name. Or JujuGigi.

Holly...wonderful name for a human (or tree)...not so much for a dog, I guess.

Ah, landi, Holly is a beautiful name! I'm not changing it because I don't like the name!

Juju, you will be happy to know that I have actually called her "Gigijuju" a couple of times because it makes me giggle!

She is so beautiful!

I have a question. How many animals can I have before I am considered certifiably insane?

Hermi ... my answer is, you can never have enough animals. Now that we are one short, our lizard, we have to work on getting that other dog. SG ... I've already shown my ds your pugs and we think that may be the next little dog for us. :o))

Thanks for all the nice things about my Maggie. We love her! Would you believe my ex never warmed up to her? He thought she was too small and therefore not much of a dog. Idiot!!

Hermi...I have been certifiably insane all my life if we have to count how many animals we have....or what kind.

Hermione, the answer is four.

Vacanick, I have always loved Maggie. Promise me you will never again date a person who doesn't think Maggie is just the cutest dog in the world.

She is so cute semi-pouting from just being groomed. We had a dog, well, let me find the picture, before the cut here, of

Wags

Wags, who we often had cut short in the summer. The groomers loved to make her look cute and often put pink bows in her teeny tufts of poodle cut hair. She would be SO embarrassed riding home in the car. But other drivers would honk at stoplights and point into the back seat and make thumbs up signs to tell us how cute she was. Maggie is that kind of cute.
