   Name her Ashley. When Laura calls, you’ll both come running!

   You should name her Licorice. Can I have her? Thanks.

   Our ideas were Dule (”Dooley”), or Kuma (Japanese for bear).

   Mom thought Onyx. Dad thought Kurosuke (as in makkuro kurosuke, the dust bunnies from My Neighbor Totoro), but that’s a boy’s name.

   Oh yeah our other contender is Noe. But it sounds close to “No”. Could just say “bad” instead … plus it’s supposed to be used sparingly anyway—the positive reinforcement thing.

   Dooley. Failing that, an 80’s ish lady’s name: like Sandra, or Jeneane.

   CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!!! So you’ve got a house and a puppy, huh? When did you get all growed up?

   Love the idea of Noe… but agree that it could get confused with No.

   What about Kookez?

   Aya, is the dog enough to make you visit when you’re here to see your friends? Since you always seem to hop right over wherever I live at the time.

   Kookez … Grandpa Jim’s biscuits and gravy mmmmmmmm.

   WTF is Onyx…? Please don’t name her that. Hey, this spring break I’m staying in Tokyo so I can find a J.O.B. so you won’t have to yell at me for not visiting you while I’m in the States. BUT… I’ll visit in the summer?

   Ginny 2?
   Onyx is great, especially if it is a Strangers With Candy reference.

    gah!!!! look at the cute puppy!!!! i have to have it. now. Noe is cute, and even though I hate people who use this name for the city, but what about Frisco? I think it is stupid to say that instead of San Francisco or SF, but it could be a cute dog name. Also, you can’t go wrong with Batman. How cute would that be, a little puppy named Batman? If you wanted something more feminine, there’s Dahlia (like the flower), Betty (whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam), Jem (truly outrageous), Kitt (like the Night Rider car, who might have been a dude, whatever), or Sasha (because it is pretty).

    actually, Kitt is not such a good idea. I mean, it’s a great name, and it gives homage to The Hoff, but it sounds too much like “sit.” Dogs have a hard time differentiating among phonetically-similar sounds. You could always give her a more ironic name, like Sunshine. Or a badass name, like Storm. Or a mythical name, like Maia, the prettiest of the seven Greek nymphs.

    ok, back to work…

    puppies!!!

    Cole… or maybe Coal. Then again Teaka, although that was a name of a dawg I had. A black Chow, but it was spelt Tika. She cost me many of dolla.

    Hey what about, Obamama.
    eerrrr…. okay! sorry…
