We Have A Winner
Posted on | November 19, 2009 | 2 Comments
Many, many names were put on the table for our new babies – some good, some bad…some ridiculous. We tried out several combo/pair names, we tried individual names, I drove people crazy with everything that popped into my head. Which worked out for us in the end, as I apparently became annoying enough that ExurbanJon opened a twitter hashtag for suggestions – #VoxAZpuppyNames.
Because he is followed by everyone who is anyone, and many of his followers are witty, as well, there were some fun suggestions. I figured I would share them here, in case anyone else is looking:
- @Anthropocon: “Smith & Wesson”
- @CLTPatriot: “Blue” “Jake” “Newt” “Lippy” “Roscoe” “Jasper” Augustus “Gus” & “Woodrow” (all from Lonesome Dove) “Houston” “Bandit”, as a pair “Blue & Bandit” (good fit for them) “Waylon & Willie”
- @cprater: “Hope & Change”, “Itchy and Scratchy”, “Cain & Abel”, “Starsky & Hutch”, “Rand & Galt”, “Castor and Pollux”, “Lock & Load”, “Shock & Awe”, “Uday & Qusay”, “Bisbee & Phoenix” (love the place name names), “Cap & Trade”, “H1 & N1”, “Digg & Reddit”, “Pete & Repeat”*
- @dahwg: “Smith & Wesson”
- @ExurbanJon: “Bait & Switch”, “Siegfried & Roy” <--so not happening, “Cap & Trade”, “Created & Saved”, “Smoot & Hawley”, “Tango & Cash”
- @GreatSatanInc: “Wally & Roo”
- @IrishSpy: “Stan & Oliver”
- @nuclear_cowboy: “Kermit & Fozzy”, “Chaos & Destruction”, “Malcolm & Jane”, “Punky & Brewster”, “Beta & Gamma”, “Ford & Zaphod”, “Dresden & Murphy/Mouse”, “Tavi & Sextus”
- @paulvalach: “barney & fred” “starsky & hutch” “splish n splash{ ok those were my beta fish”
- @sceptress: “Sun(ny) & Moon(shine)”, “Quisp & Quake”
- @VoxAZ: “Kiwi & Bonzer”, “Ruff & Tumble”, “Cheney & Rumsfeld”, “Bud & Lou”, “Pancho & Cisco”, “Frank & Jesse”, “Jake & Elwood”, “Butch & Sundance” (that was D, not me), “Brisco & Green”, “Benson & Stabler”
- @vrtsflipflop: “Tweet & Retweet” <--LOL
- @Wrymouth: “Statler & Waldorf”, “Mason & Dixon”
- @5280tweety: “Lex and Mia” – hard to explain… anyone speak OPS5?
In the end, the names @ExurbanJon suggested to start the thread were the ones that stuck – Tango & Cash. I was trying to come up with something from one of D‘s favorite movies (like Wyatt & Doc from Tombstone). How could I completely forget Stallone & Russell in a flick that is definitely among his favorite not-so-guilty pleasures? The names work for me since they are a great combo, but also stand on their own, they are short and easy to understand/differentiate for humans or dogs. They also fit these pooches perfectly.
Thanks, Jon
* For sheer volume and humor value, @cprater has to be the winner. I think she could have kept at it for days
