Waylon was named by a friend of mine after my obsession with Waylon Jennings music... His full name is Waylon Jesse James - because they're both Outlaws...haha!

I just got a new RT puppy, and her name is Foxy because my roommate races motocross bikes, so he liked anything Fox-related... Plus he wanted her to have a "non-girly" name because he wants her no grow up to be tough. (Ha! He has yet to learn that he has no control over the personality of rat terriers...)

My mutt fur baby i named schatzie because it means sweetheart in german so when we got my RT i wanted her to have a german name too so i imeadiately thought of leibe(lee-ba) which means love and americanized it to libby  Keno onthe other hand came from an obsession with gambling lol what can i say

My Stella is a blue and tan w/ white color so we were looking at different blue flowers and gems and then thought of looking at names of blue stars with nothing really jumping out. We both had mentioned "Stella" and it just always came back to that. So Stella it was!

BORING Here!! That's the names they came with. I'm not creative enough to change them.

haha i was dead set on bailey, both becasue i liked it and becasue of the drink, but i had decided on that years ago, but now it is so common (still love it tho) so i decided not to use it, instead i have decided (99% sure) that i am going to go with the name Kahlua, like bailey, cute name and nice drink

Proud owner of a rat terrier resides here.
Kahlua is my new puppy,Olive is my kitty-kat, Oh and 3 fish (Bonnie, Indiana Jones, and Rafiki) lol I love my animals hehe

His name was Mason when I first got him a six months, but I wanted to name him something else, so I went with Holden. It sounded similar and he's the protagonist from my favorite book. I call him Buddy a lot too

I/m dull but Eddie came with his name from a rescue.  I really do NOT like it at all but can't think of anything else (although I've thought about Chewie) He answers to Eddie so I feel strange about changing it.  Before he was Eddie he was Brody, that doesn't fir him either...Oh well Eddie it is

Well when I first saw my rattie she was running frantically in out back yard as a stray....it was dark out and all I saw was this wiggly spotted butt. I brought by husband into the back yard and asked "Did somebody lose thier pet pig?" She stopped and looked at me-- and we both laughed and the name stuck after that---her name is "Pig Butt" -----mostly just "Pig" The receptionists at the vet always get quite the giggle when they call her name in the waiting room!

My husband both love and ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles so ...obviously he ended up with the name Harley...it was the only logical choice for us, as for Rat_dog, when my hubby got her he would say she was no bigger than a NY Rat, so hence the name Rat-Dog...she used to sit in his shirt pocket...they bonded and the rest is history...she is his baby and Harley is mine.

Rest in peace...Mitzi, my first Rat Terrier...long gone but not forgotten...(wish I still had a picture of her...only in my mind now!)

I used to work with a lady who had a pot belly pig, its name was Bacon Bits!
