Name this dog.  He is a boy and very small (mini-sheltie/pug mix).  

Winner will get a prize (comic/book/something strange, your choice).  

Update:  The name has been chosen.  Puck Fonzarelli.

He is the single cutest thing I've ever seen and I love him.

I'll think about it.  I'm trying to get a good idea of what he'll look like when he's a bit older.  Right now, I'm leaning toward Abbott, for no reason.

It looks like he's wearing a tuxedo. I'm thinking Tux.

Abott?  

I'm more of a Groucho Marx fan.

I'd name him Rufus T. Firefly if my friend didn't have a cat named Rufus already.  Other suggested names have been Archer, Harley, and Fezzik.

Oh... please don't call him Abbott. That's the surname of one of Australia's most conservative, bigoted politicians. It'd be like calling him Romney.

Sorry to hear that Rian, that's a sad story. 

I think non-daft food names for dogs are cute.

Daft: Muffin, cupcake etc. Don't want to hurt my brain by thinking of more of them.

Non-Daft: Chorizo, Salami, Chipotle. The vegetarian in me wants to say Tofu or Tempeh, but they just don't have the same ring as Chorizo or Salami.

Arthur Fonzarelli is going to the top of the list.  The Fonze is what you meant by Fonzi, right?

^ thanks. It was a rough time for me then. Max's been gone about 3 1/2 years now. Also had a cat named Max. Named him in memory of my friend. Had to get rid of him though. But he's in a good home now.

For that Dog I like Charlie but Arthur Fonzarelli is great with many possible nicknames. Art,the Fonze of course, Relli. But to throw my own out there he seems like a great dog to cuddle with in a tent beside a fire on a bitter night. If it were me Id name him Camp

Whatever you go with, no cutsie names! He needs the advantage of toughness and/or coolness through reputation alone. My suggestions are, in no particular order:

Bluto, Cronk, Elvis, Cato, Doobie or Chopper. 

The little guy derserves this.

I like last names.  Considering Bukowski (shortened to Buk (pronounced 'buck', not 'buke', like Bukowski pronounced it).

He doesn't look much like a Buk, though.

Ooo, I'm, like, a professional pet-namer.

My first thought was Vladimir. Now I'm leaning more toward Whiskey, Gambit, or Thibodeaux. Or Ducati. Or Dillinger.

He needs a tough name; the pug thing is enough punishment.

Or there's always Asswipe:

You can't name a dog brisket; that's part of their anatomy (it's the chest). It's like naming it "Elbow".
