Well said. Apparently the son/brother is just an excuse for getting a dog.
Yes it is. It really is.

Of course I do have some interests most notably being outer space (comets, asteroids, planets, stars, moons) and history such a ancient Egypt, Japan etc.
Open to discussion!
My friend had two dogs:
Mac & Tosh
I'm not making this up
Pleiades
Ooh i like even better. I have a fascination with satellites. I love Saturn's moons.

Although, you are posting to an Apple forum, so definitely apropos.
BL.
Franklin. As in Ben Franklin.
Then you could call it Ben, the kid could call it Franky, you're both happy, and the kid gets a history lesson. Done and done
Is it just me, or is this a slightly strange thread....
I want a puppy for my son....
I want a puppy for my brother....
I want to name the puppy...but I don't care what my brother/son/whoever thinks...
I want a name that pleases me...
And, BTW, I'm really getting the puppy for me, my son/brother/whoever is just an excuse...
...more than slightly strange, say I...
If the name must please you, and you alone...and you don't want to use a name pleasing to your brother....why even mention your brother, as his feelings and desires are apparently irrelevant to you.
Pleiades
This is the best one so far. I just wish I had two dogs. I like unique/fun names…
Like George Michael from Arrested Development.
Joe Pesci. lol.

If it weren't a car mark, I would prefer the japanese name, Subaru.
I like Pleiades the best, but there are other cool options from space.
Io
Cosmo
Draco
Orion
Corona
Pegasus

This is what the MacRumors community is all about!

I think I just wanted to keep the thread going.
Imagine if I was messing with all of you and I not only don't have a little brother but (plot twist) i'm secretly a dog that learned to type and is running amok at a public library somewhere?
Let the kid chose but you can make suggestions.
Fang, Killer, Ruff, Slobbers.
Jethro, Jane Doe, and PeeWee were the favorite names of our cats. We could not think of a name for the one who became Jane.
Indeed, the same thought occurred to me.
For a dog? Seriously? Can you imagine throwing a stick, for said animal to fetch - and - as you try not to mangle the vowels and master the pronunciation in that name as you cry out, shouting: "Go, fetch, ..Pleiades!"
Saturn's moons. Yes. Right ..
Well, it does serve to remind me of a somewhat acerbic comment which went around the Faculty, years ago, when I was teaching, when a member of staff named his cat "Wittgenstein", and, it was said that he was "living beyond his intellectual means" .
Personally, in this sort of context, I rather like Archimedes you know, difficult to pronounce, slightly obscure, (all those fulcrum metaphors you could casually toss aside) and entirely appropriate for a dog you intend to adopt for a son/sibling or family member with a slightly ambiguous status .
Good God man, if the kid wants to name the dog 'Franky', this is what you should name the animal; this will give the youngster a sense of commitment, ownership, and involvement .or, maybe, as others have commented, this is all about you, and not him?
Agreed. Completely. Fervently. Very well said .
Right. And your point is, what, exactly? You are a dog? Or a time waster? Or someone who just wished for the sheer self-indulgent enjoyment of it all, and loved to wind people up?
If the dog is real, and if (obviously, given this last post, two rather large conditional ifs), your sibling/son is real, let the kid name the dog. Period.
Thank you. Finally.

Pretty clever with the jane name.
You've never heard of an unidentified woman being referred to as a 'Jane Doe?'
I have just never met someone with that name for that specific reason. Makes sense on a pet, it be weird if someone referred to themselves as that.
....
There is a misunderstanding here I don't fully appreciate.

I don't want to name him after a person but food that gives you the runs is OK?

Squilly-esque.
You won an up vote.
OP: let your kid name it. Or call it Luna if you like space. Or Zeus.
