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 two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

On that criterion you should name your dog "I want ice cream". Because then, every time you call your dog, there's a non-zero possibility that someone will give you ice cream.
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).
There was a Dear Prudie letter a little while ago with this woman who was outraged that her ex-husband and his new wife had got a new dog who had the same name as their daughter. They didn't name the dog, it already had that name. She was outraged, and even considering legal action over the dog's name. It was... quite the trip.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I suppose it's worth noting at this point that Jacqueline's cat was named Matilda and there was some hesitation to use that name with our daughter.
JZ had to give up Matilda the Cat before she moved in with us so there was no household overlap of names, but Matilda the Cat was still alive when Matilda the Human came along.
I usually just reference Indiana Jones being named after the family dog when this topic comes up.
