Leonidas	We didn't have a name picked out for him actually at that time we got him. The family and I were watching the movie "300".. We noticed every time the king Leonidas would yell. He would stand up walk over to the t.v. and sits there. Even at times he would bark.. We didn't think of it at first. But then my boyfriend wanted to turn up the volume but ended up hitting the wrong button causing him to start over. While finding where we last left off. King Leonidas yells again and he comes, popping his head up and this time he got excited and starting bark while doing all types of turns and puppy flips and butt in the air.. Then it dawned on us that he has chosen his own name. Leonidas it was.. He has lived up to the name since.

Bolo	Well I have a Dog named Abramond so I decided that since my first dogs name starts with an 'A' my second would start with a 'B'. Then I wanted a name that was shorter but sounded tough so I decided on Bolo.
Abramond	He's an American Bulldog so I wanted to resemble that and I knew he was going to be big. So I thought of the American Tank the Abrams. The people I got him from, their son named him Diamond because he has a diamond on his back. I want to pay homage to their sons choice. So I combined Abram with Diamond and made Abramond, pronounced A-Bra-Mond.
Chops	He tells it all
Snorre	Snorre
Tess	My American bulldog Tess . No idea why I chose the name. But it suits her. I am picking up a new American bulldog female pup and have no idea what to call it.
