How about "Rover" and "Spot", for a start?

Why do "registered purebreds" have such pretentious names? I can see
and understand the desire to trace and maintain the bloodline and have
no doubt that it is a desirable thing, maintaining genetic material
for the future. But that doesn't mean the animal needs to be
treated differently than any other, except in controlling breeding.
Just because you record the names doesn't mean that the names have
to be fancy, after all.

Name a dog something you can yell from the back porch when you want
to call it! (Two sylables maximum...)

I am probably about to be shed upon by the AKC or somebody...
