					<description>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.</description>

					<description>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.</description>

					<description>Dooley.  Failing that, an 80's ish lady's name: like Sandra, or Jeneane.</description>

					<description>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?</description>

					<description>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.</description>

					<description>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?</description>

					<description>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).</description>

					<description>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...

					<description>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.
