First, I apologize to any & all I've offended with any posts this
week. Plain & simple, the stress & pain have turned out to be more
than I can handle, and that's on me. I once mentioned that when
someone posts something that seems out of character, there's usually a
reason. Mea Culpa.
Next, I'm curious about the *processes* people go through in naming
their QIs.
I'M NOT LOOKING FOR NAME SUGGESTIONS. Thanks, but we have that
covered; the list is down from 144+ to 12 this morning. I am curious
about the *process* - did you (like us) make a list and then use some
method of elimination? Did a name just pop into your head? Did your
QI name themselves by some act/behavior? Did your kids just pick one
out of thin air? Did you have it planned ahead of time? Something
else?

I'm not very creative with names. I tend to use old standbys- Daisy,
Missy/Misty, Teddy, Mojo, Samson/Samantha/Sammy, Bingo, Lucky, Midnight,
Honey, Max, Suzy, Liz, Tessie, Barney, Clyde, Dusty, etc. Boring, but
everybody can pronounce and spell them... like at the vet's office. The
most unique is my darling goofy Golden named Hoover. Yep, named after the
vacuum cleaner and for good reason. If you've ever known a Golden or Lab
you will understand the reason! LOL (And I didn't name him- he came
already appropriately named!)
Can't much help you out! ;-)
Feel better soonest!

It was usually the kids who found the right name somehow. A few QI's
got named by their behavior though and again, it ended up fitting
perfectly. We name our cars too, stupid I know, but after driving a
car for awhile, they seem to take on a personality all their own. Be
paitient, the right name will evolve in a day or so. Donna

Yeah, a lot of the names on our list come from Yiddish. I'm not
Jewish, but I grew up in a predominantly Jewish school district so I
picked up some of the terms that got tossed around.
My dad used to name all his cars. I started to, but they just don't
seem to have the same character they used to.
