Dog names

[Alatriste]

Ok, so Princesca and I are most likely adopting a dog this week--we have a specific puppy in mind and just need to get "approved" by the dudes who run the adoption foundation.

If it helps, the puppy in question is a mix of German Shepherd, Boxer, and Labrador.... I'm unsure of the exact proportions but we want to go with the one who looks the most like a German Shepherd.  Also, it's a male.  Its current name is "Dodger" (all of the dogs in the litter are named after MLB teams ), but we don't necessarily hate that name despite its origin.

Well, if Frederick the Great named his hounds 'Pompadour', 'Tsarina' and 'Maria Theresa' you can name yours after a team you don't like. Besides, hounds have to be good at dodging, I presume...

If I ever get a german shepherd I'ma name it Adolf.

Blondi was vetoed by Princesca early in the process.

Fucking dogs are only good to bark and reveal our position to the enemy.

They are only good for that and target practice.

I hope the  hajis put a bullet up your arse.

I went with Argos. Dodger isn't that bad either.

Argos? WTF? Why not name him name Sparta or Lesbos while you're at it?

Come to think of it, Crete isn't that bad of a name for a dog.

Yeah, but the Austrians were his bitches, so Maria Theresa worked.

Huh? Argos, like the name of the faithful dog of Odysseus? What's wrong with that?

OK, then that's different.  But it'll have to be on the papers, or else people will just assume it's the city-state.

But if he's naming it after cities, I'd have to go with Cleveland.  Always wanted an English bulldog named Cleveland.

For Jews (at least Orthodox Jews) and Muslims alike dogs are unclean. Or so I have read, at least...

Consider how many dog carcasses he's dumped into Palestinian wells.  They don't do it out of love, you know.

No-one's asking him to eat one.

That's in fact why we both sorta like that name.  It's a cute little story in the Odyssey.

Way to read the thread before posting... I already addressed that like 2 posts above yours.

What people? The average Joe will have no idea what Argos is a reference to.
