So, I might be getting a dog soon...

[Vedra]

What should I name it? I've been debating names, and most of them are female, so I hope I get a female dog. Anyway, my ideas are:

Andromeda
Cordelia
Buffy
Irulan
Xander
Tsarina
Eridani

Everyone else contribute names, and I may pick it. Think of it as a contest!

[Nan]

I like "Mintaka," even after reading Wilbur Smith's trite yawnfest (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/0330376306/ref=pd_sim_dp_2/701-7524710-2622769). It's a star in the constellation Orion. There are a bunch of star names and meanings here (http://www.johnpratt.com/items/astronomy/other_stars.html).

[evay]

"MyDog." Guaranteed to bring hours of "Who's on First?" kind of fun.

[PointyHairedJedi]

Woah, déjà vu... (http://www.fiveminute.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=293&start=0) :P

Anyway, a few names for your consideration:
Evil Minded Sod
Khan (good for when you have to yell :D)
Mr Morden
Romana (or Romanadvoratrelundar if you really prefer)
Ming the Merciless (more of a cat name, really)
Uhura
Hasimir
Leeloo
Susan (as in Calvin, though there's always Invanova as well)

[Celeste]

Tsarina. Russian. I likey.

[Ginga]

Out of all of those, Tsarina sounds the most awesome.

But you know what I'd suggest. >_> <_<

[Hotaru]

I was going to name my dog George, but I don't think you'd like that.

See, I was going to love him and hold him and hug him and pet him and play with him and call him George.

Sweet Cheesy Lord, that sounds familiar! :shock: What is that from?

[Hotaru]

From the looney tunes, the giant snow monster guy would pick up Bugs and say that. Y'know, the snow monster Lenny.

I knew I'd heard it somewhere!

Thanks, that would've driven me nuts for the entire night.

[Hotaru]

Didn't take us long to derail this thread, did it?

What kind of dog is it? Is it big? Small? This all matters!

[KillerGodMan]

Well, I don't know about female names, but If it's a large breed, and it likes to lick toes, then call it Toevik.

I only say that because people keep calling MY dog that (my dog's name is Toevin, so you can understand why)

[catalina_marina]

I like "Mintaka,"
Isn't that a species?

[Nan]

Only in your puny Earth tongue. ;)

(I figured I was overdue for an in-character moment.)

[Vedra]

It's a cocker spaniel, and I'm getting it tomorrow. I've pretty much decided on Xander, but if anyone has any last minute (and serious) ideas, I'm all aural sensors. I mean ears.

[MaverickZer0]

Um....

Kalinka.

There's a nice Russian name. It's also the name of my cat.

[catalina_marina]

Xander is a good name. I like it.

[Zeke]

The funniest part is that I suggested Xanth as a joke, Vedra said no, and now he's picking the closest thing to it.

(Why did I suggest Xanth? Because back in Grade 7, when my youngest brother was born, my friend Mike suggested we call him Xanth. And the name my parents picked? Michael. Go figure.)

[KillerGodMan]

what about Xavier?

[PointyHairedJedi]

^ A good Harkonnen name! :D

Not as good as Piter or Vladimir though...

[Zeke]

Know what would be a cool name for a male dog? Balrog. Not only does it sound awesome, but if someone asks you what his name is, you can shout "Name him not!"

[Anonymous]

I tend to associate "Balrog" with the wussy guy from Street Fighter myself. Of course, it was the badass LOTR flame beast first, but I didn't hear of it until the movies...

[mudshark]

Know what would be a cool name for a male dog? Balrog. Not only does it sound awesome, but if someone asks you what his name is, you can shout "Name him not!"It's be a good name for something like a mastiff or a Rottweiler, but a little absurd for a dachshund or a Pekingese. :D

Then again ... *thinks of the killer rabbit in "Holy Grail"*

[Vedra]

I got him today, and I decided to name him Caesar. Caesar Augustus. Here's a picture I just took of him.

[Ginga]

Aww, he's so cute. :3

[Zeke]

Didn't... hear of...

YOU ARE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WORLD.

No offense.

[catalina_marina]

He's Aryan? :shock:

He's a cute Aryan though. :D

[Opium]

Awwwwwwe! Cute puppy! And Caesar seems to fit, although nothing like a salad...instead, he looks royal. :P

[Anonymous]

He is a cutie indeed.

Augustus is a bit obvious though, isn't it? I've always been a fan of Vespasian myself (a few more like him and the Roman Empire would have been around for a lot longer, methinks).

[KillerGodMan]

soooooooo cute!

[Vedra]

Thanks...I love him to death, but he's a biter. I can't get him to stop chewing everything in sight. lol

[KillerGodMan]

^ I believe the reason he's chewing everthing is because he is a PUPPY, (mine used to do that, now he chews on himself O_o)

[Scooter]

I've always been a fan of Vespasian myself (a few more like him and the Roman Empire would have been around for a lot longer, methinks).

Except in my head I always hear it as "Vethpathian," spoken by a man with very large teeth... Harder to take him seriously that way... ;)

Wait wait wait. Baaaaack up.

He's not a kitten?

[Vedra]

I realize he's a puppy, but it's still kind of annoying. Also, sometimes he must smells weird things and he goes INSANE.

[PointyHairedJedi]

You haven't been making him watch season 5 of Andromeda, have you? I hear that that smells pretty bad ;)
