- And you guys are gonna think I'm so weird,
because those are not typical names.
- But my suggestion was Jaxon.
- Quick question, what are some dog names?
Now out to the name reveal.
- His name is...
- Hi guys, it's Jordan and today,
I'm going to be naming my dog.
(laughs)
Right now it's dinner time though and he wants to eat.
So we're gonna give him his canned dog food.
He loves canned dog food, as you can tell right now.
- [Jordan's mum] He's always fed in doors, but.
- Yes, normally we give it to him indoors, but right he,
he gets kinda messy and we'd have to go to the kitchen.
So we're just gonna give to him out here,
and he always has his dry kibble out
and he gets to choose like, when he's hungry,
and he can just like eat and everything.
Cause he's pretty good at like, well,
I'm referring to himself, except for canned dog food.
- [Jordan's mum] He's like, "Mommy, give it to me now."
- He loves his canned dog food,
so we are gonna give that to him for dinner.
Okay, go ahead and get it.
Go ahead and get it.
So we actually already have a name for this puppy,
but I wanted to do an entire video,
showing you guys the process of how we picked the name,
and kind of my list of names that I had come up for him
before we even got him.
And I also want to show your guys' ideas
for what to name him, because I asked you guys on Instagram,
what, what do you think his name should be and everything?
And so we want to go sit in a circle,
and discuss the name picking process
and reveal his actual name.
- [Jordan's mum] I hope you can't see it on his color.
(laughing)
- I hope not. (murmurs)
All right.
So we're gonna let him finish his dinner
and then we'll go inside and start the naming process.
(chuckles)
Alrighty!
We are back inside.
I have everybody here with me, we are all sitting down.
- Here's Logan.
- We have little puppy here and we have Logan.
Logan just looks uncomfy cause
the puppy kinda scares him a little bit,
but not really, he just,
- Yeah, he doesn't know what to do with this dog.
- Yeah, he just feels a little weird around him.
He's still trying to get used to him and everything.
So that's why he looks a little uncomfy,
but we have this dog here, he wants to, he wants to play.
Hey let go.
And then we have all his toys, I mean,
there's even more downstairs.
He's got a lot of toys.
- He's spoiled.
- He's very spoiled, but he likes to chew a lot,
so he has several (indistinct) toys.
- I mean, he's already destroyed this one.
- Yeah, he's already kinda destroyed some toys.
So I figured we would tell the story,
of how we picked out my dog's name and everything.
So if you haven't already checked out my video
where we picked up my brand new puppy for like,
first time and everything, and where we made the trip
all the way and picked him up and brought him back home,
I strongly recommend watching that video because,
it was really cute, and also that is the moment
that I picked out his name, fun fact.
So his name is already decided and everything,
which is not what I expected.
I expected that we would take him back home,
we would sit kind of in a circle like this,
have him be in the middle, and we'd play with him
and we would decide a name like that.
But I was just in the car, I was like,
"Oh, this is his name, this is it."
Yeah, it's already decided,
but we're gonna build the suspense.
And I want you guys to comment down below,
what do you think his name is, before we reveal it,
because it's kinda fun to guess.
- Shirley, Shirley is his name.
- What.
If you don't know already, he is a boy,
and he's a mini Australian shepherd.
He's gonna get bigger.
He's gonna get about the same size as, as Logan,
maybe a little bit bigger, cause I mean,
he's probably gonna be the same size
but he will look bigger, cause he's very fluffy.
But right now he's just a puppy, so he's very small.
- Can we say the name that we choose for your dog?
- Yeah.
So let's let, let me first read my list.
Okay, so before we picked up my baby,
we, I decided,
- He's a scubby one.
(chuckles)
- He likes to squirm and play a lot, you can let him go.
Before we picked him up, we decided,
or I decided to make a list of names on my phone
that I really liked because, I was trying to think,
I was like, what am I gonna name this dog?
And it was so difficult to choose, coz I'm Like,
I don't even know I've never met him.
I don't know his personality.
I had no idea.
And I was worried that I would make like the wrong choice
and name him the wrong thing, and I was,
I was kinda nervous.
So I decided, you know what, I'm gonna start early,
and I'm gonna gather a list of names,
of things that we like, and we thought that would be cute.
And so, let's go around and say what your guys' ideas,
cause this is kind of a combination of everybody's ideas.
So mom, what was, what were your name ideas?
- Okay. so first of all, Jordan knew
that she was getting this dog, pretty far in advance
but she knew what her dog was going to look like,
about a month in advance.
- Yeah.
- So, she had a lot of time to plan,
and no names were coming to mind.
But my suggestion was Jaxon.
- Whoa!
Mama's name Jaxon. - Jaxon!
- That's actually, dad really likes the name Jaxon too.
- [Jordan's mum] Jaxon.
- So, - [Jordan's mom] Okay.
That was mom's name suggestion.
Tyler what was yours?
- Mine?
I only had one, and it was S'mores.
- [Jordan's mum] S'mores, because,
- Ty was like, we gotta name him S'mores.
- [Jordan's Mom] Look at his coloring,
he's like a chocolate marshmallow s'more.
- I know, he's so cute.
Actually, it does kind of fit, I think its cute.
All right, dad, what were your names?
- I know one was Jaxon, I think the other one was Dakota.
- [Jordan's mom] Yeah, Dakota, Dakota is a good one too.
- [Jordan] Wow, - Yeah.
- I don't have Dakota on my list.
- You don't have Dakota on your list?
(mumbling)
- Spoiler alert! Dakota's not his name.
(laughing)
That's funny.
- And Logan,
- [Jordan's mom] Dakota would have been a cute name for him.
- Actually yeah.
Logan was, just wanting to hide, that's all he wanted.
- Yeah.
- Logan didn't have a name idea.
(laughs)
(murmuring)
- I don't even know how we would have figured that out.
- Okay, I wanted to name him Wheatley or Perro.
- Yes, and so I explain the meaning behind it.
- Wheatley, it just sounds right.
And Perro, it's just dog and Spanish.
- Yeah,
(laughing)
Jake came to me one day, he was just like,
"You know what you should name your dog, Perro."
And I'm like, "Aw, That's kinda cute."
And he's like, "It's dog in Spanish."
(drum playing)
(laughing)
- [Jordan's mom] To name a dog, dog.
- I was like yeah, that's funny.
- [Jordan's mom] Hey dog, come here.
- Hey dog.
- And then, all the other ones on the list
I either got from friends or I found them, I don't know,
I came up with them, or I found them
on like a website or something.
I don't know how I came up with the rest of these names,
but my two favorite names I had on this list,
were Zero and Comma.
(chuckles)
- And you guys are gonna think I was so weird,
because those are not typical names,
but, I really liked unique names,
and so, I thought Zero was really cute because we are,
we got him around Halloween.
And so, I just thought that was kind of fitting
cause Zero is the ghost dog
in "The Nightmare before Christmas,"
and we love that movie as well.
And plus, I just like the name Zero, for a dog.
And then Comma,
(chuckles)
Okay Comma, is really unusual.
- You studying language arts.
(laughing)
- Everybody whenever I'd say I, I'm gonna name him Comma,
everybody thinks, they're always like, "Are you okay?"
Like they think I'm so weird,
but this is the reasoning behind Comma.
So, actually it is when Audrey and I, years ago,
we were playing a game called Sims,
and basically it's kinda just like dolls but online,
basically kind of, I don't know, not really.
But, they just barely got a new expansion pack,
where you can get dogs for the first time ever in that game,
and we were so excited.
And so I got my very first dog and I was like,
"Oh my Gosh, I have a dog."
And of course in a video game and,
(chuckles)
and I was trying to figure out what to name it
and Audrey was like, "Hurry, just pick out a name."
Coz I was taking way too long, I'm very indecisive.
(laughs)
If you can't tell, by my list of names,
it took me a really long time to decide his name.
But I was trying to decide a name,
and it took me forever and Audrey got impatient.
She just, hurried and pressed a lot of random buttons
on the keyboard, and it like just had
a random combination of letters and numbers.
And we were like, I was like, "No!"
And I started deleting it and like mid deleting,
Audrey pressed save, and the only thing left as his name,
was a singular comma.
(laughs)
And I thought it was so funny
and we both died of laughter.
And that was the dog's name and,
and our Sims game was comma,
cause I didn't know how to change it or anything.
And so his name was Comma and we thought it was hilarious.
And then, the, the more I thought of it, I was like,
oh, it's kind of cute, Comma.
(laughing)
And so, that was one of the days,
I was really thinking of naming this dog was Comma,
because it has a such a cute backstory,
and it's kinda cute.
It sounds like comet.
Comma, come here.
Come here Comma, come here!
- [Jordan's mom] Comma, Comma. - [Jordan] Come here Comma.
- [Jordan's mom] Comma.
- His name must not be comma.
- He doesn't know his name yet.
Well, he does know his name,
but he doesn't respond to his name yet.
(laughing)
Okay, so we're back.
And now it's time to see what you guys voted on Instagram,
what you guys think, oh my gosh,
are you trying to eat my hair?
You just needed to chew,
you need to get a toy, - Oh, by the way,
I'm his favorite. - Get a toy.
What!
- Yeah. - Wait, that's not good.
- I'm his favorite, I'm his mama.
Okay, so I made a little Instagram story,
this is what it is.
Quick question, what are some dog names?
Yeah, because I haven't, I, well,
I mentioned that I was gonna get a dog,
but I've kept it really quiet.
And people didn't know that I had the dog yet,
and so, super exciting.
And then I saw, his picture's already been leaked.
(dramatic music)
Are you kidding me?
(laughs)
- [Jordan's mom] Aw!
People already know what he looks like.
- That was me.
- That was dad's fault, he posted on Twitter.
(dramatic music)
(laughing)
Oh my gosh.
(mumbling)
He wasn't supposed to,
it was supposed to be a grand surprise for my YouTube video,
but dad's spoiled it.
(murmurs)
Oh my gosh, it's okay.
That's ahead and rare in case, I guess,
for those who found it.
- [Jordan's mom] If you follow Twitter.
- If you guys follow Twitter,
all of the followers on Twitter, saw it first, I guess.
But, yeah.
- [Jordan's mom] And then they spread it on Instagram.
- And then they spread it on Instagram,
and I was kind of everywhere, but that's okay.
It was a fun little sneak peek.
- [Jordan's mom] I don't think you could glimpse of him.
- Yeah, it's a good sneak peek.
- It looks like a stuffed animal, you can't really tell.
(laughs)
- Okay, so let's go ahead
and read some of your guys' suggestions.
- So ooh, @ThatYouTubeFamily_3_
says Gizmo, Zeus, Scout, Bailey or Buddy.
- [Jordan's mom] Those are good names.
- I like Gizmo. - Ooh, I like that.
- [Jordan's mom] I like Gizmo too.
- Gizmo kind of reminds me of "Gremlins" though.
(laughs)
- [Jordan's mom] I know, he's like a little gremlin,
especially when he's wet.
- Oh, when we give him a bath, when we give him a bath,
It's so funny.
- [Jordan's mom] It's so funny.
And his little bitty teeth, he's like a little gremlin.
- Oh, he loves to bite.
He did this the other day, cause he got so excited.
He doesn't mean to, he's under numb, like
- He's playful.
- [Jordan's mom] See he should be called Gizmo.
- He's playful but,
he's still learning to not bite.
- [Jordan's mom] Gizmo! Gizmo!
He's still not answering to anything.
- Yeah.
(laughs)
(indistinct) said Sweaty.
(laughing)
- Sweaty?
- [Jordan's Mom] Sweaty would be so funny.
- Oh my Gosh, we actually call Logan, Sweaty.
- [Jordan's mom] We do.
That's one of Logan's nicknames,
because in "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid" movie,
(laughs)
they were trying to name their dog
and they named their dog as Sweetie and then Roderick,
one of the characters went to get the name on the ball,
and he spelt it like, Sweaty, and so his name was Sweaty.
And now we always, like Audrey calls Spencer Sweaty,
and she calls Logan Sweaty.
So he's Sweaty number three.
Sweaty! - [Jordan's mom] Sweetie!
- Wait, hee can jump high.
- Big Body Gucci Boy.
- [Jordan's mom] Oh that would be funny too.
- Oh my Gosh, this is so funny.
(mumbling)
Ooh, Gadget.
- Gadget?
- Olly, ooh I do like the name Olly.
- Behold, a gadget.
(laughing)
Olly's cute.
Ooh, Luna, Luna!
- @tyfdreams_ says, "Jordan, you can't just say this
so casually, oh my goodness!"
(laughs)
Cause I'm like, oh my gosh!
(laughs)
(indistinct) says, Motomoto.
(laughing)
- [Jordan's mom] Motomoto.
- It's your name, Motomoto, I think Motomoto likes you.
- [Jordan's mom] I like that name.
(mumbling)
- Is you're name Motomoto?
He just wants to play.
- [Jordan's mom] Oh!
- That would be funny.
- That would actually be really funny.
Come here Motomoto.
All right, let's sit in a circle everybody.
Come here, come on puppy, come here.
- What's this circle?
- Now onto the name reveal.
(drum rolls)
- His name is, Atlas!
(cheers)
- Atlas.
- Here's his name, we got it on a collar and everything.
His name is Atlas.
- [David] And what's his middle name?
- And his middle name is Comma,
(laughing)
because I had the same name, coz that story was so cute,
and I just, anyways, his name is Atlas.
Little Atlas.
- And his named after comma as well.
- And his middle name is Comma because of course,
Comma, it's so cute, I can't.
The reason why I named him Atlas was because,
on the car ride home, I remember it was like
30 minutes into the drive, and mom was like,
so what are you gonna name your dog,
now that you've met him?
Because I always said before, I was like,
I really liked the names Zero and Comma,
but I'm not gonna ever say what his name is
because I want to meet him first,
and I want to know his personality. cause I don't know.
I base a lot of things based off their personality,
(laughing)
and so I was like, I have no idea what his name is gonna be,
I'm just gonna choose what feels right when I meet him.
And so, I was holding him in the car,
and he was like kind of falling asleep and everything,
and mom and I were going through the list,
and I read through every single name.
And like, some of them were, I was like,
"Oh, that'd be really cute."
And aw, and then others, I was like,
"No, that's not his name."
And then when I reached Atlas, I said Atlas, and I'm like,
that's his name, literally.
Like it literally clicked,
and I was like, that's his name.
- [Jordan's mom] True, she just sat on it.
- Yeah, I'm like, which is so weird,
cause I never, like, I thought the name was cute,
but before, when I put on the list,
I wasn't thinking I was actually gonna name him Atlas,
but then when I read it, I was like,
okay, that really fits him.
And it just felt really right,
and so I'm like, okay, this dog's name is Atlas.
(laughing)
- I go jump in, fun fact,
that's how Jordan also got her name.
It was right before she was born.
She was almost ready to be born, no name picked out,
It was just baby girl.
- Yeah.
We couldn't come up, we had a few names that,
choices that we thought we wanted to name her,
and then we were driving and David said, Jordan,
and I was like.
- That's it.
- That's her name.
- That's it. - Like literally,
that is what her name is supposed to be.
(mumbling)
It was not supposed to be these other names we had chosen.
- All right, thank you guys so much for watching this video.
I hope you enjoyed and I hope you enjoyed meeting my puppy
and everything and finding out his name.
I hope you're as excited as I am.
I'm stoked and, and there's gonna be
a lot more videos coming.
So make sure you subscribe to this channel,
as well as my second channel, "Jordan Mae Williams."
There's gonna be some more videos on there,
and our family channel, "The Williams."

- Bye. - Bye.
(bright upbeat music)
