Where do People come up with Names for Dogs?

Sometimes, they pick their own name.

My first dog was named Purzel by my parents. My second dog, bought when I was 1 year old in 1978, was named Gustav, but I called him Doody. He was already over a year old at the time.

In 1995 he died and we bought a replacement dog born the day before, called her Diana (after Diana, Princess of Wales). I call her Dog. But I rarely see her these days.

Purzel is just a funny name for a funny dog. Gustav is a typical name for the Berlin region (calling the dog loudly would make older people look around). Diana was a good name for a useless but pretty pet, we thought.

Henry is named after my dad's dad.  I wanted a non-traditional dog name, I don't like 'digger' and 'rex' and 'duke'.  Henry seemed to fit him, so that's what we named him.  He's a lot like my grampy....small but powerful, feisty, and with a loud bark but no bite.

My Wife (I dont know why) started naming all her cats starting with the letter S.  When I got my 3 cats, I just picked up her pattern.  But what is spooky is how each of my cats fit their names!  Serena, the quiet loving one, Suzy Q, the wild crazy one, and Sampson, the big brother!

I named my dog Tzar.  I did not want a prince or Baron or Rex (he was a Sheppard), so figured there were not too many Tzars around!

Same goal, different results!  (tzar and Henry).

Would he be the eighth Henry BTW?
