My wife suggested “Pringles”. I think you should name him “Rabid Dog”, just to see the look on peoples faces when you call him.
My aunt had a rottweiler named Teeny and a chihuahua named Satan. Not kidding, she got some strange looks…
I still like Mr. Sneeferflu best. Yelling that while walking him…too funny. “Senor Jalapeno, heel!” ROTFL

My daughter is thinking along the same lines…she likes Killer or Bruno. Thanks everyone, I’m starting to think along some previously unexplored lines!!
Well, someone mentioned Robin Hood earlier, but how about Little John?
Higgins has definitely English ring to it. Or how about Puck, from Shakespeare’s Midsummer’s Night Dream? Artful Dodger, or just Dodger, might work.
I think you should name him, Yoda. I mean, furry, pointy ears; very small; (assumed) intelligent. “Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?”
How about Pudding?
You know, like Yorkshire Pudding?
I am so jealous! I love Yorkies. Give him a kissy poo from Auntie Tatertot, would you?
Speaking of, if I may be so bold, how bout naming the pooch after me? I mean, we both have hair that flops over into our eyes, and a tatertot is a little form of a potato just like a Yorkie is a little form of a dog.
And if you name your dog after me, I will shower him with gifts and show his picture to everybody, even random strangers on the train. Unlike my sister’s kid, whom she did not name after me. Not that I’m bitter about that, mind you…
How bout “Bogey”?
Oisin was the son of Fionn McCool, Hero of many Irish myths, and was a fierce, strong young man.
If its a female, call it Ashling (pronounced the same) which means “Vision”.
either that or call it “getawayfrommyfeetyouyappylittle****er”
I’ve always been partial to the philosophers or some version thereof :
Socrates . . . sockie, soc, ratie, socrats, crates (you figure out how to pronounce that)
Plato . . . plates, lats, lato, p-lat
Thoreau . . . row, tho, horatio
Whitman . . . whitey, whitney, the man, whit, hitman
Emerson . . . son, emer, Big E
Your philosophers might be closer to your heart.
Good luck
more options:
Yorkie is definitely smaller than original name-holder, but nicest dog i every knew was named “Flebus” (pronounced Flea-bus).
i’ll let you borrow one of my cats’ names: Minion (as in Minion of Darkness)
or if you prefer, its French derivation: Mignon (“dear one”)…and you get to confuse people who think you’re referring to the cut of steak (aka Filet Mignon).
or how about Brisket?
damn, suddenly i’m getting hungry.
How’s about Bippenshaw? Or Shawntiquashay?
I guarantee you your puppy will be the only in the world with those names
Scout sounds kinda Yorkie
I always liked food as a name for a small dog.
How’bout “Nacho”?
Well, my fiancee has been dying to get a Yorkie or a cockapoo or some other little stick dog and name it Chainsaw. Me, I name dogs after beer. Foster, Samuel (Adams), Rolly (-ing Rock), Tsingtao, hey, they’re popular at barbecues. ::shrug::
If your new dog is going to be AKC registered, you will need a long and ridiculous name for his papers (I think it’s a rule. Really!), which you should be able to shorten to a normal dog name. For example, I named my newest dog Edgar Allen Pogo, but we only call him Pogo, or just Po. Sometimes we call him Ogopogo, but that’s another story altogether. We also have a bullmastiff whose AKC name is Contessa Francesca Hoof N Paw, but we usually call her Cesca. We also have a mutt who has no papers named Herbie, and we usually just call him Herbie. I also knew a Dalmatian named Mary, Queen of Spots, but I digress.
My suggestions:
Queen of New Yorkie (Queenie)
Princess and the Pee (Princess)
Spoonful of Sugar (Sugar)
Duchess of Yorkshire Pudding (Duchess or Puddin’)
I can’t think of any more right now, but if I do, I’ll be back.
