My Rottie had a great name too, I was a fan of Kenny Rogers and I love his song Rueben James, but because Rube had to have a kennel name attached his official name was Von Eiffel Rueben James, and I used to say that is one heck of a name tag.
I had 4 Burmese cats and three of them were named after groups like Poco, Smokey and Toto and the odd one out was named Pepsi because we used to drink a lot of Pepsi.
I named my Dobie after Shari Lewis because I liked her, and besides Shari was such a beautiful red Dobie and moved very gracefully so I thought the name was appropriate.
