My breeder had a list of names for the pups in the litter -- I had to choose one from the list.

The remaining alternatives were Lady Godiva and Chocolate Cheese . . . ugggh!

If I had had the naming of her, I was thinking about naming her after one of the Furies - Alecto ("unceasing"), Megaera ("the jealous"), and Tisiphone ("avenging") - or one of the Harpies - Aello, the breaking storm (Podarge - fleet of foot) or Celaeno, whose wings darken the sky before a storm (Ocypete - swift of wing).

I can just imagine the "gate" calling THOSE names out to the scorekeeper and timer! (I worked gate pretty much continually through the last trial.)

I like Brown Bombshell! It has spunk!... but why those names? The only breeders I've known with naming requirements involved naming according to the letter of the alphabet that corresponds to the litter number, i.e. first litter=A names, Second litter=B names... and so on.
