Dog names

I like names that are personal and purposely picked. Having said that, the only real advice I have is keep it one to two syllables. Makes it easier to call them.
I was going to say one syllable so if they are chasing a cat heading for an oncoming vehicle crossing a road. So if you scream it loud enough you might prevent burying it that day.
 
I had a German Shepherd named Walker Texas Ranger we called him Walker for short.

The name was not pre-planned just came to me a few hours after we picked him up from the breeders.

Named my Chessie Otis after town drunk of Mayberry.
<<<<Black lab in the thumbnail is named Otis. Seemed like an Oh puppy
then narrowed it down to Otis or Oscar. Might just be me but Otis seems
easier to call out. Well known Otis's besides Otis Campbell that came to mind
were Otis Redding and the band's leader in Animal House is Otis Day (& the Knights).
OTIS! My Man!
Once had a kitten we named Wolfie. One morning it was in the backyard and
I noticed it was nearing a rabbit that was remaining perfectly still. When the kitten
got within about 12 feet the rabbit hopped off towards the woods. When it first
took off the kitten went straight up in the air higher than the rabbits escape.
Kitten landed all puffed up looked like it was thinking "what was that?!"
After that it's name was wolf rabbit. Which began a chain of cats named
something rabbit ending with a scrawny calico named skinny rabbit.
Current fat yellow cat that keeps Otis in line is just called kittykat. No proper
name seem to stick so by default back to generic kittykat. Closest I came to
with him was Chester. But he wasn't limping so.......
 
Name the dog after your favorite firearms manufacturer. My buddy had a GSP named Barrett. Probably a cooler name than Rossi, but that's just my opinion.
 
Sex can be an interesting name for a dog.

Everybody I know who has a dog usually calls him "Rover" or "Spot". I call mine Sex. Now, Sex has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to the City Hall to renew the dog's license, I told the clerk that I would like a license for Sex. He said, "I would like to have one too!" Then I said, "But she is a dog!" He said he didn't care what she looked like. I said, "You don't understand. ... I have had Sex since I was nine years old." He replied, "You must have been quite a strong boy." When I decided to get married, I told the minister that I would like to have Sex at the wedding. He told me to wait until after the wedding was over. I said, "But Sex has played a big part in my life and my whole world revolves around Sex." He said he didn't want to hear about my personal life and would not marry us in his church. I told him everyone would enjoy having Sex at the wedding. The next day we were married at the Justice of the Peace. My family is barred from the church from then on.

When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, I took the dog with me. When we checked into the motel, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for me and my wife and a special room for Sex. He said that every room in the motel is a place for sex. I said, "You don't understand. ... Sex keeps me awake at night." The clerk said, "Me too!"

One day I entered Sex in a contest. But before the competition began, the dog ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just looking around. I told him that I was going to have Sex in the contest. He said that I should have sold my own tickets. "You don't understand," I said, "I hoped to have Sex on TV." He called me a show off.

When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married but Sex left me after I was married." The Judge said, "Me too!"

Last night Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking all over for her. A cop came over and asked me what I was doing in the alley at 4 o'clock in the morning. I said, "I'm looking for Sex." -- My case comes up next Thursday.

Well now I've been thrown in jail, been divorced and had more damn troubles with that dog than I ever foresaw. Why just the other day when I went for my first session with the psychiatrist, she asked me, "What seems to be the trouble?" I replied, "Sex has been my best friend all my life but now it has left me for ever. I couldn't live any longer so lonely." and the doctor said, "Look mister, you should understand that sex isn't a man's best friend so get yourself a dog."
That's a good one.
