As a breeder who has been "in Basenjis" for "a while", I have named quite a few. (No all of these do not currently live with me but did at one time.)
Ever since I was a kid I wanted a red/white female Basenji named Keiko so when I finally got the Basenji as an adult, Keiko she was. I have no idea why I wanted Keiko, I just liked the way it sounded.
Houston and Dallas - Named for cities. A third pup from that litter was Denver.
Logan - I wanted a "manly sounding" name.
Baron - When he was born, he was very plainly marked with no white collar, just a small spot on the back of his neck. I called him Spot as his "baby name" but when I decided to keep him, I changed it to Baron.
Luna - Owner named her. Her registered name is Sherwood's Red Moon Rising. Luna, Baron, and Logan are littermates and all have "red" in their registered names.
Cassie - Sherwood's New Year Party, born New Year's Day. All pups in this litter have New Year in their registered names.
Pippin - One of my "Brady Bunch", 3 boys, 3 girls with the "baby names" Greg, Peter, Bobby, Marcia, Jan, and Cindy. I used the "TIme" theme for registering this litter. Greg became Lisa's Nicky. Jan became Pippin. I had a real hard time coming up with a name for her (I wasn't keeping the name Jan). I kept calling her the "little pipsqueak" and it turned into Pippin from there. Her nicknames are Squeaky-britches and Termite. Pippin has proudly passed along her chewing abilities to her offspring. sighs Pippin is registered Sherwood's Timeswept Promises because she showed so much "promise" as a youngster and I hoped that her contibution to my breeding program would stand over the course of time.
Clipper - Registered name Sherwood's Eclipse Of The Moon, son of Luna. This litter were all registered with the "moon" theme in honor of their mother. Lisa's Rally was from this litter. An odd thing about his name was that when he was born, the co-breeder and I came up with the registered name AND call name at the exact same time!
Plum - Sherwood's Visions Of Sugarplums, born Christmas eve. Whole litter were registered in a Christmas theme. Plum's brother is Topper, Sherwood's Up On The Rooftop.
Locket - Loved the name so came up with Sherwood's Southern Charm. Litter all had "southern" in their registered names.
George - George and Fred named for the mischievious red-headed twins in Harry Potter.
Bindi - Got the name from the Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin's daughter.
Cory - Pat's Sherwood's Little Red Corvette. Litter was registered with the "cars" theme. Two are called Chevy and Lexus.
Jayden - Another of Pat's pooches. I just liked the name. Litter was registered using the "secret" theme. Jayden is Sherwood's Secret Keeper derived from Harry Potter.
Jozie - Sherwood's Secret Legacy in hopes that through her the legacy of Sherwood will continue.
