How about a good German name, like Udo or Werner? I also like Casper, but you should spell it with a K.

And I second truthbot. What a great looking dog?

dog names are hard to come up with. for some reason, though, i seem to be the designated dog-namer of the family. or first dog was black and white so i named her oreo. yeah, i know, pretty original. but i was in fourth grade or something at the time. the next dog i named akiko, because she was supposedly a lhasa apso mix (turned out looking like a terrier) and i figured something asian would work. and i was into wolverine comics (this was in sixth grade), and i think that was the name of his daughter or something. it kind of morphed into kiki, which isn’t a bad name for a little dog.

i named my girlfriend’s dog clio. about a hundred of my ideas got vetoed this time. i really wanted jojo, because this dog was (and still is) mischevious and i was referencing bart simpson. we actually do call her jojo a lot. she pretty much comes to about any name, as long as you use the stupid baby/dog voice with her. which is good, because she has about 50 names at this point.

i like a german name for your dog. i wanted a giant schnauzer or doberman and i planned on naming it fritz. but we went to the pound and got a basenji-mix mutt, and a female at that, so fritz was kind of out the door.
