Watson jumps to mind as a possibly fitting name for a reddish brown labradoodle. I cannot explain why, only that it does. Also I clearly envision cats as protagonists, and dogs as loyal companions.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

I want to wrap him in bubble wrap and keep him forever. Aside from the whole love him for decades of marriage thing.
Indeed. We had the 30th anniversary earlier this year. Yes, he often makes me crazy, but every day I am grateful.

Dr Chompwrs is making me laugh. Perhaps whatever dog it is will be Dr Name Chompers.
To be fair, my old roommate and I fostered a cat she then adopted. It came with the name Rucifee, but we added that he is Count Rucifee von Kittenpants.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ooh, I like that one, but do you really want to be yelling "Noam" all the time?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
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 knew a couple with a dog named Jessie (dog came with husband). Then they had a daughter and named her Jessie (wife had always loved the name and wanted to use it).
It was semi-hilarious.
