Realistically, however, the idea tea cup Yorkie names are the ones that feel right to you. It can be the name of a relative or friend, the name of a favorite movie star or character, or just a funny household object – whatever you want.
Granted, if we are to delve into the psychology of dog names for a second we’ll see that the experts are advising against human names. The argument here is that anthropomorphizing your dog can lead to an unhealthy type of attachment and relationship with the pet.
The counterargument to that, however, is that anthropomorphizing your Yorkie is half the fun of having it. Besides, teacup Yorkies are hardly a “working dog breed” so your relationship with the dog doesn’t need to be exactly professional.
