How did your dogs get their names?/ How do you choose names?
I have a "Space Theme" happening with Star Wars and the crew from Futurama (not planned)! Also a "Food Theme" seems to be taking over. I usually use a theme inspired by the parents or try to keep theme names with littermates (Ham and Egg).
