We got a puppy.

We're having trouble settling on a name. Here's the criteria. We are looking for a human name, one that isn't super common. any fantasy name will probably get shot down by the wife. Ethnic names are acceptable.

The doggy is a female, 1/2 Bichon, 1/4 shitzu, 1/4 pomeranian. She is very sweet and loving, but quite spunky when she gets fired up.

Please throw out some suggestions.

Will you end up giving it a nickname or calling it by other names? If so, what's the point. Call it Marie.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Marie is the dog's middle name.

Stop laughing at me.

Random names for the win. I've always found Rebecca to be a nice precursor to the middle name of Marie. And by "always found", I of course mean, in my present drunken meandering thoughts.

Cosette, has been, and for the foreseeable unattainable future will remain, my preferred name for a baby-girl. Love it, from Les Miserables (Jean Val Jean's adopted daughter.)

Edit: Come to think of it. Don't name it Cosette. I could never name a baby that will probably never be made, Cosette, if I had recommended it be used for a dog. Just know that I love the name.

The end.

I'm calling my future dog "Woof". Regardless of gender.

Your dog should be named Lola.

Dye its fur red, orange and yellow and call it Phuong.

But not Cosette. Or Solontha.

It's already white and pasty: name it Bella. Watch as it defecates everywhere, just like the book does in prose.

Everything white and pasty would look better if it was red. True fact.

If you must keep it boring colored, Evelyn. Or Briana.

It's settled, the dog is named Penny Marie Luxury Yacht. Lola was in the running but got eliminated because that is her mother's name.

Rose.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
