The 9000 names of Dog. Andrews, that is.

[Flangepart]

So...Andrew says he wants to get a dog and names him Torgo.
Sure, people who don't get the referance might think its 'manly'...but dude, the rest of us might snicker at the poor pooch.
Soooo...
Anyone wanna reccomend some other dog names for Andrew?
Just a thought...
Like, I donno... Ash? King Gidorah? Ultradog? He who poops in the shadows?

[WingedSerpent]

I don't know.  I get the reference and think its kind of cool.  It's not like other dogs names like "Fido"  or "Barkley"  are real dignified. 

And its also not like the dog understands what its name is.  I know a person whose dog's name is "Stinker"  after the fact that it got sprayed by a skunk.  I sereiously don't think the dog was insulted by that.  (The name, not the skunk attack)

Maybe he should get two dogs and name them "Key-Master" and "Gate Keeper"

Mechagodzilla!  Either that or Ash.

The dog gets loose in a crowded park, and Andrew has to call him:
"Mechagodzilla, come here Mechagodzilla."

"Mechagodzilla, come here Mechagodzilla."

You meant to type "MechaDOGzilla", right?

Anyway, what's wrong with the classics, like "Zoltan" or "Cujo"?

[The Burgomaster]

I suggest naming the dog either BOBCAT GOLDTHWAITE or GILBERT GOTTFRIED.

Grendel

My German Shepherd, who passed away this past spring at the age of 11, was named 'Grendel'.

A great name for a dog, for sure.

True the dogs don't care, but we would always ba asking "How's Torgo's knees, Andrew?"
Oh yeah...wanna use a name you won't be ashamed to yell at 'em.
"Hasselhoff! Get yer hiney back in this house right now!"

With the family (Andrew's) cat's name in mind I'd go with Bam Bam Cold Tomato, they rhyme.
A friend of mine named Norm named his first born son Norm Jr. Junior, when he got to be old enough to talk and make himself understood told Norm not to call him Norm or junior, he wanted to be called Boom Boom. Oddly enough at that time Norm was a Marine, I wonder if there's a connection between being a Marine and having your kids like the name Boom Boom.

Some South Africans name their dogs Voertsek, which, in kind terms, means "take a hike" or "go away from me".

It is really funny to see someone calling their dog to heel with a word normally used in place of bugger off!

How bout Lionel, , or Derek (You gotta know where those came from)

My mother insisted on naming our dog 'gus', after the fieldgoal kicking mule. We hated it at first, , but it kinda grew on us. (I always imagined it was short for 'Angus' of Angus Young fame). The original Gus dog was a black lab, and was the smartest dog I've ever met, with the most human personality. Honestly, he seemed smarter than about 80% of the humans I have met.

Most dogs actually are smarter than your average human.
