Hi, I need some advice. I am getting my daughter a Teacup (either) Pomeranian, Maltese, or Yorkie. These are obviously very tiny and adorable. We need help on picking names. She wants the names to be unique and different, but cute at the same time. Please leave comments on any ideas you have. We’ve come up with some as well :
Girls : Bambi, chai, or honey
Boys : Milo, peanut, or bear
