So, I might be getting a dog soon... - The Five-Minute Forums

Vedra · #1 04-21-2005, 05:09 AM

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!

I like "Mintaka," even after reading Wilbur Smith's trite yawnfest. It's a star in the constellation Orion. There are a bunch of star names and meanings here.

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

PointyHairedJedi · #4 04-21-2005, 11:40 AM

Woah, déjà vu... :P

Anyway, a few names for your consideration:
Evil Minded Sod
Khan (good for when you have to yell

)
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)

Tsarina. Russian. I likey.

Ginga · #6 04-22-2005, 02:02 AM

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

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

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?

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.

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 · #12 04-22-2005, 02:39 AM

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)

Only in your puny Earth tongue.

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

Vedra · #15 04-23-2005, 03:54 AM

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 · #16 04-23-2005, 07:29 AM

Um....

Kalinka.

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

catalina_marina · #17 04-23-2005, 11:18 AM

Xander is a good name. I like it.

Zeke · #18 04-23-2005, 02:46 PM

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 · #19 04-23-2005, 02:48 PM

what about Xavier?

PointyHairedJedi · #20 04-23-2005, 08:14 PM

^ A good Harkonnen name!

Not as good as Piter or Vladimir though...
