Ruggles and Buster
Mack is named Mack because he is built tough like a MACK TRUCK! Ruggles is my deceased father-in-law's middle name and it seemed to fit our baby Ruggles.

Lupe (or Lulu)
Been on vacation and away from the Internet (ahhhh). What a cool thread!!! I named Lupe because I had a dream about 5 years ago that I had a bulldog named Lupe. It stuck with me for a very long time and after lots of research, my dream came true!!!

Stig's name came from my bf's fave british car show called Top Gear. He thought of it because the character wears an all white gear and Stig's all white with brown patches on his ears.

My husband loves the Back to the Future movies. And in the first one Doc Brown's dog's name was Einstein. He wasn't an English Bulldog but it still fits our Einstein! So he says our next dog's name is going to be Copernicus to keep the Back to the Future theme going.

[MENTION=2092]JAKEISGREAT[/MENTION] wow that's awesome! We live in Indiana...lots of corn and that's about it. That's pretty cool you can say that about your neighborhood. Well you were partially right...Doc Brown named all his dogs after famous scientists. So Albert played a part in the one!

Mandy was Mandy when we got her. It suits her really. She was over a year old so we did not change it, it is awfully cute for such a big girl.

Molly was named after Molly Weasley, the mother of all the red heads in Harry Potter. I was reading the final book when we got her. I wanted to name her Hermoine but noone would let me!

Jesse is actually named after our first bulldog we ever had, Baby..... When baby came to us the breeder named her Jesse. We of course were silly and ended up naming her Bambino....aka Baby.

Yuna and Tidus are characters from a game called Final Fantasy X. It is probably one of the best stories I have ever came across....I cried like a baby at the end. Then Final Fantasy X-2 came out and I cried even harder. You spend hundreds of hours unraveling these stories in the game, so you are very emotionally attached to the stories/characters as you spend your days, weeks, months playing.... and I think I cried the most cuz it was over and I could not play anymore!

So as you can see, I got my way usually when it came to naming our pets! LOL

Brooklyn came from, yes you guessed it, her breeder in Brooklyn, NY. haha not very original but it really fits her. The breeder had named her Cotton, which in my opinion was a terrible name. I had wanted to name her Lola before we met her but my boyfriend HATED it, but she is definitely not a Lola anyways.

This is a cool thread! I never would have guessed where these came from. I am a fan of Angus Young too :). I want my next to be after Geddy Lee so he will be Geddy. Yup, I am a dorky Rush fan...and I have a soft spot for Bassists (my son is a very good one). Hubby wants our next boy to be Chief (Navy Chief) but I WILL get to name one of our dogs!!!!

Pepper just loves a good bassline and she is the best at guarding my gear.

[MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION] - omg, I always thought Yuna and Tidus' name sounded familiar. My younger bro's so into the final fantasies and would spend hours on end playing. Now I'm gonna google the storyline cuz you got me really curious. :D

Chunk is named after the movie "The Goonies". He came to us at 2 years old with this name; we loved it, it suited him and we figured he's too old to change it. His previous Mom and I are very similar! :)

You can probably 'watch' the whole game via YouTube. As a matter of fact, I am sure you can. The movies scenes are pretty fantastic.
