Barrell
In a similar vein, go with Fortinbras. I mean, he actually survives the play. Or there’s always Horatio, who was indeed Hamlet’s loyal friend to the end, prepared to follow him into death.
Going to get my fuzzy literary giant/ historical figure/ religious icon later this afternoon. He is located 350 miles away- 4 hours home in a little car with a needy, chubby puppy- I suspect his name (from the proffered list, of course) will be made apparent at some point during the trip.
I will have pictures within a day or two-
Neal[from the old TV series “Topper”
Nana[from “Peter Pan”
Augustine[the Augustian monks bred and cared for these dogs]
Go with what feels right when you have him with you.
I knew a great St Bernard named ** Whiskey **. He was a lot of fun to handle in the show ring. He was a guy who knew how to party and how to crash on the floor and pretend to be a drunken rug.
If I remember correctly, his sire was **Fritz ** and his dam Karma… Fritz was a goofy dude 
This was going to be my exact suggestion.
How about “Hubbard”?
Bernard Hubbard was a Jesuit who was an intrepid explorer in Alaska in the 1930s and 40s. His use of pack dogs is what saved his bacon on several occasions when climbing mountains (and actually became bacon on one occasion).
My brother’s pets:
Fortinbras (Fort): ginger shorthair cat
Ophelia: torti shorthair cat
Gertrude (Trudy): torti longhair cat
Sir William Pendragon: purebred english bull mastiff. gorgeous. sadly, now gone.
Vivian (he has a last name but I can’t remember it): purebred Great Pyrenees (sp?)
Wu Chien (sp?): Newfoundland/black lab mix
Princess Mononoke: St Bernard / Akita Mix.
Feel free to borrow any names.
(yes, they have a huge number of animals and a baby on the way).
Sprinkles. Definately Sprinkles.
Mr. Sprinkles.
Mr. Winnifred Sprinkles or Mr. Rinnifwred Sprwinkwles.
Oh Mr. Sprwinkwles!
How about Sirius? Named after the Dog star and the great Harry POtter character.
StG
William the Conqueror! You know, like Patton’s dog.
Tank.
Name him something Swiss like someone else said. . .
Eiger
Monch (pronounced Monk)
Shitty Food
Matterhorn
Someone else suggested Barrel. I like that.
I might also suggest a name I’m quite fond of:
Munch
How about Fluffy?
Can you post pictures after you get him?
Heh. That’s my cat’s name.
Jutul King of Trolls
Skirner, who helped Frey gain his bride.
Barbara Streisand.
Maximus. His name is Maximus. Max .
(Please visualize a hearty Roman font, perhaps inscribed in marble.)
Shitty Food was high on the list, but then I considered the yummy, holey cheese, and had to defer to size references.
I should have about 5 months of puppy lovin’ before I will be sharing my home with a furry Peterbilt.
Angus was my next choice, but my best friend heard “Anus” over the cell phone and vetoed.
Hans just didn’t stick, because he is such an itty bitty lovey dovey fluffy ball of sweetness at this point.
He is about 5 pounds, has a squooshed in face, perfect mask, and fat, fat feet. Actually, he looks like a Llasa Apso, without the superior attitude. 'Cause he’s too stoopid to have an attitude. He knows three things: Sleeping on my tummy feels good. Sleeping on my back with all four in the air feels good, too. And the girl who kisses my chubby nose all the time really, really loves me. (Anybody else blow raspberrys on their puppy’s little bald tummy?)
This is my second Saint, but my first 5 week old pup (yes, the vet released him at 5 weeks- can you believe he eats solid food and was weaned last week? at 4 weeks?) and all suggestions and advice (especially training advice) would be appreciated.
My camera is misbehaving, but I should be able to post some pics by the week-end.
My brother named his St. Bernard/Great Pyrennees cross ‘Diesel’.
Bumping in hopes of puppy pics …
