Met a black pug, once, named Muggsy. Perfect name. When I finally get a male rottie, his name will be Conan. ---

We just adopted a new (to us) dachshund (who we have a sneaking suspicion might be a chiweenie in part), and he’s named Max. But that’s because he came from a home where the owners had died, so we know what his name had been for the ten years of his life. We didn’t feel we should change it after all that time. ---

I want a cat or two; ideally a calico (Paisley) and a striped one (Plaid). And a turtle, who of course will be named [Burocracia](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c3/68/ab/c368ab088574ca6c56c88e1e0ca75e13.jpg). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/name-your-new-pet/841958.md?page=1)
