both of your babies are absolutely gorgeous! I love the pic of her with the pacifier...she's so tny! don't worry...I had Molly for 3 wks and tried out about 6 names before finding one that fit her...her sister, Lucy, had her name before we got them home (it was an 11 hr car ride home, btw), but Molly was harder for some reason. it may sound silly, but I went on dogster.com (think myspace for dogs), typed in rat terrier and searched through all the rattie pages for names I liked and basically let Molly decide...which was whatever she responded to.  good luck with choosing the right name.  |

I just noticed the little swirl marking on the top of her head and thought that it looked similar to Amos head marking. This photo is the best one that I have that shows how the marking swirls up. (He looks bad here, this was the day he came home from the hospital after battling Parvo)
Your girl is a beautiful dog. When I first saw her the name "Mabel" came to mind. I don't know why, it just came to me.

| I think precious, like what is on your baby's dress is a good name. That picture of her with the pacifier is just precious. |

I don't know if these names fit your baby, but I wanted to name my Daisey either Macy or Coconut. Since she is techniclaly hubby's dog (don't tell her that), he chose the name.

Wow.. thanks for all the input! I have thought of a few names. What is funny is my mom suggested Mabel also! She said she is black and white like a cow so name her Mabel or Bessie lol. I have also thought of Roxi or Minnie. My hubby is a K-9 deputy and his partner is Mickey so I thought Minnie would be cute... but she doesn't really look like a Minnie. I like Macy. My daughter was going to be Macy but ended up Becca. I promised hubby I would have her named by the end of the night. Its driving him crazy that she isn't named! Precious is cute too, but my aunt has a puppy named Precious and don't want them to get confused...lol. Don't know if there is any truth to it or not but my mom says you should always name a puppy a name with at least 2 syllables because if it is only one they associate that with the word "no". I appreciate all the help and let me know if you think of anything else! |

| I was also trying to think of Disney names. Most of my animales have names that go with the occasion I got them. I used to have a dog name tober. He real name was October because thats when I found him. I also had a cat name Tuesday. So along those lines how about Mayzie? I do have to tell ya when I first saw her Abby came to mind. I also like Dimond. Whatever you choose it will be cute cause she is such a cutie!!!!!! |

Well, have you decided to call her "Mabel" yet? LOL She really does look like a Mabel and you could call her "Mabelline" for fun.

She's so adorable!!! good luck on naming her...my husband named both of our, "my" ratties. lol Our girl lis named Julia, it took him 3 days to come up with that name!hehehe I wanted Gracie or Abby, but I let him pick out their names to make him feel like he had a say in the whole "puppy" idea. He really only wanted one dog but I talked him into another, he wasn't too happy about having a second rattie at first, but has since changed his mind! |

does anyone remember the sitcom with Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser (sp)? They took a while to name their child and it was her mom who gave her a sentence to remember.

What are your kids names...do they start with the same letter? if so, you can pick a name starting with the same letter?
your name is Montana Mommy....is Montana one of your kids? what about your favorite city? or your favorite sports team, city or player?
I'm probably not much help for a girl...since I have a son and a boy dog....my son named Dink after a man in a movie (My dog Skip) Has your kids given you any input? |

Thanks for all the great ideas!! I didn't name her by the time I told my husband I would. But I finally did get her named!! I LOVED a lot of the suggestions that you all made, but in the end hubby liked Minnie. His K-9 for work is Mickey so he thought that was cute. I didn't really think she looked much like a MInnie, but it will grow on her I hope. Sorry it took so long for me to post anything on it, but my computer was down for a few days. Thanks again for all the help and I look forward to chatting with you all!! |

| I like it! And she will grow into it. My youngest daughter got to name our last puppy and she picked Jack...the little guy in my avatar. I didnt want jack and I didnt think that it fit him. We wanted to name him scamp, but she pleaded Jack so jack he is. Now thats all i can think of him as!! Minnie is a cutie pie!!! |

Minnie is a cute name. I'm sure she will grow into it. Besides, if you're like me, she'll end up with a ton of nicknames. Mine actually come to their nicknames.  |
