This dog needs a name



MW commenters Shamrock and KPMD will soon be hearing the pitter-patter of little paws around their new house. They were approved to be parents of a rescued male hound/pit mix and will be receiving him this Saturday.

They requested that you, dear readers, come up with a name for the lil' guy. Leave your entries in the comments section for this post and, if there is one that they like, they will use it. The person who comes up with the winning name will be awarded a meal at Chik-Fil-A or, if he/she cannot make it to the Philadelphia area, a gift certificate to the fast food restaurant of the winner's choosing. The contest will be open until Wednesday, March 29, 2006.

The couple reserves the right to name the dog themselves if no suitable entry is provided.

    That's a Spike if ever I've seen one.

    But you can give the gift certificate to someone else. ;)

    Filliam H. Muffman. There. Contest over. :)

    (The happily betrothed couple didn't give me any limitations on the amount of entries per individual, so keep 'em coming if you have 'em.)

    Shaft. And he should get a musical collar to blast his theme everywhere he goes. That dog will be so pimp.

    White dogs have names like "Lenny." Black dogs have names like "Carl." So what's one to do with a black and white dog?

    You could give him a versatile name...like "Ernest" (Ernest goes for a walk, Ernest goes to camp, Ernest saves Christmas, etc.). You could name him something that might be offensive to the locals, like "Cletus" or "Rerun" or "Big Fat Paulie".

    He kind of looks like a Floyd, though. Phillip Floyd Rerun Hensel McGuire, Jr.

    FYI: I offer all of my suggestions with the full intellectual authority of nearly a year of veterinary school.

    I am currently dogsitting a 75lb golden lab named Savannah. I think city names work well. Since the dog's home is Filthadelphia, I suggest "Camden" as a good name.

    I guess I should commit my verbal suggestion to digital paper: Gary.

    As in, "Gary took a dump on the carptet" and "I'm late because Gary was humping my leg" and "Gary's got worms".

    Dammit, I forgot "Dooley"! He could have a 20 minute limit on his walks...and he would stop to take a dump at 19:59.60.

    i really like the Gooch, Cletus, and the pragmatic favorite, Ernest.

    Chick-Fil-A? I'll be there in 10 hours! All in all, you made the right choice. I mean, he's a hound-pit mix, which means he's probably not the canine equivalent of a rocket scientist. Therefore, if he was already answering to a name (Monty), it's best that you stick with that name. Best he devotes his other brain cell to urinating and defecating in the appropriate places (i.e. anywhere in Philadelphia).

    We welcome you, Monty, and so say all of us...Tap into America!

    How'd you come up with the temp name Monty, anyway? Were Cleese, Palin, Gilliam, Jones, Chapman, and Idle also considered? Or was this more of a C. Montgomery Burns thing?

    Hey, as long as you sire a child named Lil' Micah, I'm cool. And if you need any help...

    Is Richmond considered greater Philly?

    dubin - Your Dooley comment cracked me up (and was lost on 99% of this blog's readership).

    I also enjoyed Dubin's Dooley comment. That game sucked.

    I don't even remember what game that was. Was it UNC? Probably, because it would have made that final timeout all the more noticeable for its pointlessness.

    I think UNCW?
