He's a gorgeous, playful, smart black-and-white pointer puppy. I am currently calling him Oscar, since his registered (show) name is Caliban's Oscar Gone Wilde, but I don't want Oscar to be his permanent name. I'm looking for something creative and original, possibly with a literary theme, but I'm open to any suggestions. I'm counting on you brilliant jatraqueros to come up with something...

I've always been fond of the name "Mr. Snigglesworth." Somehow it just works. It's not literary, but if you'd like we can all pretend that it's in a epic poem somewhere. Happy naming!
We could fall back to using Grey Wind, Summer, Nymeria, Lady, Shaggydog, or Ghost, of course, but they lack the irony.

hmmm... perhaps we should have thought of this before naming our dog "Seven."
As for dog names, what about: Frodo Levin (one scene in Anna Karenina is described from the POV of a hunting dog) Tommy Hey-don't-eat-that!-That-isn't-food!

My friend and I tried to come up with the worst dog names, and I believe Steve and Ted topped the list. "Trogdor" and "Gozer the Gozarian" are also great dog names, the more pathetic the dog, the better.

At the time my parents met for the first time, my grandparents (both sets!) owned dogs named Pepper. Unfortunately my memories of those dogs have melded into one rather generic looking big black dog. For years I thought all black dogs were named Pepper.

Or if you disregard the literary reference, you could name him PHOTO. Introductions would be fun. This is our black and white Photo.

Wow, thanks y'all!! This is a wonderful response!
There are some pictures of him in my foobonic album, but the site's not up yet I think....I'll post some links, and some better pictures, when it's running again.
I like Ansel, Jude, Judas, Levin, Phineas, and quite a few of the others, but I'm rather picky when it comes to names so it'll probably take me a little while to pick one. ^_^ Also, Text and Photo...rofl!!
Keep 'em coming, and thank you sooo much! Posts: 1225 | Registered: Feb 2002

Well, that'll explain why he keeps his nose in everyone's crotch. As long as he doesn't grab my butt, I'm okay.

I have a cat named pig who is about 5 lbs overweight and a cat named pishe(pronounced pee-she...cute-talk for "fishy") whose favorite thing to do is take baths, so whatever name, choose carefully
