Yes, yes, I'm still obsessing on dog names. I can't help it! lol. I've already read three dog training books and I have two more I want to look into. When it comes to pet training I'm pretty anal with my research because... well... I honestly love animals and I really love having pets and I enjoy training them. If a pet is well trained the enjoyment/love of having them as a companion improves by 100% I think. Right now the top running dog names are more for boys:
1) Machiavelli Jones - This name is half from my brother, who suggested Machiavelli because he has this perverse fondness for naming cute animals after sinister people, and half from Jaimie. I told Jaimie when he visited me at work on Sunday that I liked the idea of the dog having a first and last name which led him to suggesting a plain last name like Jones to go with Machiavelli. I really encourage any who read this to say the name out loud because when I say it I can't help but giggle because it sounds like something a Pimp would call himself.
2) Ibuprofen - My brother is responsible for this one. I was saying it'd be funny to name a dog Prozac or Vicodin and he said he liked the name Ibuprofen better. lol. Then he suggested when people ask why the dog is named that we say something like, "Well when we first got the dog he got into a whole bottle of Ibuprofen and ate it so we decided if he likes it so much, lets name him for it." They stare like... O.O at us then ask really and of course, we laugh then say, "No! Of course not. We just like the name." He also thinks that the short name for it Ibu (Eye-Boo as he pronounces it) sounds like a good dog name.
Knowing me the dog will end up with one of these two names. So far I'm liking Machiavelli Jones but I have to say Ibuprofen isn't that bad either. lol. You know, it's a damn good thing I don't want to have any kids because with what I name my pets I'm sure any name I'd give my child would end up getting them teased by a huge amount in school.

Machiavelli Jones reminds me of Osmosis Jones. *shrugs* Fun.
Personally, I like the Queen of Wands style of naming pets after sound effects (i.e., the cat in the comic is named Zot) I would suggest Blam! (exclamation added for extra goodness)
