I would like a dog named named Doggo McDoggerson. Although considering I already have Miss Kitty my vet might be disappointed in me if I went that way.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Shir~ma!
Meara, I concur that we need more information about said dog (ideally pictures) before even brainstorming names. I am personally against using person names for animals because then you end up in a scenario like my friend who named their dog Audrey...then her sister married a woman named Audrey. So it's not uncommon for the name to come up in conversation followed by "auntie or doggie?"
I got a covid test today. Found a CVS drive through site further away (in Woodbridge, for those familiar with NoVa, we're in Fairfax) that had an opening today. Much better timing, 6-10 days will come...a day sooner...and now I can be in mom's living room while the roofers are installing her roof and skylights. Apparently the crew who did such a crummy job a few months ago that it is being re-done tomorrow dropped soda bottles and other trash into her living room, in addition to decaying shingle bits and pieces. I'm not ok with that. I'll sit directly below them in a hardhat and mask if I have to.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Our cats are Edison and Tesla. Last names of historical figures often work well (and is often a source for posh-ish first names)
Brummel
Woolstonecraft
Lovelace
Pavlov
Bayer (for homophone fun!)
I have to get back to setting tile, but will continue to ponder.

I do love last names of historical figures!!!
The dog is a mini labradoodle. Reddish brown/tan? I do not actually know which dog of the litter yet. I pick the puppy on Sunday and bring it home next Friday. I definitely won't pick a name until I know which dog! But want to have a few ideas? Rather than just calling it "puppy" for a few weeks?

also those sound like super shitty jerks, Erin, and I fully support you throwing things back at them if they try.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hmm. Preston. Chance. Winston. Jasper.
Isn't there a celebrity who claims to be perfect at naming pets? (Anna Kendrick, maybe?)
Also, maybe we need to outsource this decision to the guy that came up with Murderbiscuit's name.

I would accept suggestions from Murderbiscuit or his namer.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Nothing my cat would suggest will be good. It'll probably be a bunch of eldritch sigils that, when spoken, summon at least 2 but up to 7 of the Old Ones.
The guy who named Murderbiscuit is a smartass who named his tarantula Elizabeth Báthory, so he's a little sketchy.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Reddish brown/tan?
Rusty
Rufus
Curly

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My friend Katie is a nicknamer. She called both her father (who had dementia) and her crazy dog "Bubba"! Which lead to a great confusion when Bubba was running through the fields behind her house (It was her dog).
