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.

Ooh i like even better. I have a fascination with satellites. I love Saturn's moons.

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

Although, you are posting to an Apple forum, so definitely apropos. 😀

Nicely done! He was a huge Apple guy, but this is probably where his family got it from.
Do not draw the name out of a hat. does not end well for family health.
Either go with nala or Jebediah.

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...🙄

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?

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.
Pretty clever with the jane name. 🙂

We'll see. As of now one of Saturn's Moons is winning.

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

Honestly though, I'd let the kid name the dog. You can call it whatever you want, but at least let him/her have the joy of naming something, even if you personally don't like it.

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.

You aren't the only one.
If getting the dog from the pound, odds are that he will be chipped for identity. So if lost and someone picks him up and takes him to the point, they will be able to identify him and the owner. So in essence, this "Jane Doe" will always be identified.

get the dog, then name it. we've had 5 dogs (of which we have 3 right now). when you get them, somehow the a name feels "right"
on the other hand, just name it "dammit". solves a word of problems later 😀

Well the Pleiades were the Seven Sisters and therefore feminine. A typing dog would be from the Family Guy, so that would be Brian.
However the dog from a kids TV show down here was called 'Rat Guts' which would be an admirable name.

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