	I just adopted a Russian Toy...his name is Beam. I was told that Beam... or possibly Bim.... is a popular Russian dog name. Does anyone know what it means or why it is a popular dog name in Russia...if this is true? Thanks!

	Bim doesn't mean anything special. Initially it was a popular name in Russian circus where clowns were often called Bim and Bom. It became a popular dog name after a great Russian movie of 1977 White Bim - Black Ear. The movie was nominated for Oscar (check Internet Movie Database for Belyy Bim - Chyornoe ukho). It's a very sad story with English Setter as Bim. You can learn more about Russian dog names and Russian Toy at http://www.russiandog.net/

	Thanks!! We think it may have been Bim after the book/movie.....we just call him Beam(as we were told) or Beamer!! I LOVE him soooo much, what a wonderful dog breed!!
