Heathen - he's actually named after his grandfather, but the name doesn't really fit him all that well and I rarely call him that. Heathen is a one of his nicknames and one I call him a lot. Most of the time I call him Egan, which is his first middle name (he has a lot of middle names), or Bubb

Bentley- got his name because he was the first dog I ever bought for myself (and my first DDB) and I had never paid that much for anything in my life (was still in college). I considered him to the dog version of a Rolls Royce, so I chose to name him Bentley. He was my heart dog. I still miss him so much.
Fahren - was named by my mom. She liked the name and I thought it wasn't bad. Most of the time we called her Fay, or Fay Fay.
Tempyst - got her name because when her breeder first sent me pictures of her she had this mischievous look in her eyes and I just thought she was a fire cracker. I couldn't find anything pretty that was equivalent to "firecracker" so I found Tempesta di Fuoco, which means fire storm in Italian. So that became part of her registered name, with Tempyst as her call name. I sometimes called her Tempesta, and often Cha Cha (her nickname).
Ooops forgot I'd already posted in this thread...oh well
