    I saw his cute face and instantly thought "Sherman". Don't know why. But he looks like a Sherman to me. (As in General William Sherman.)

    I do like the Rolo suggestions, or possibly Rooney.

    We have named the dog.

    THANK YOU to everyone who offered name suggestions for our new puppy. Ranging from Charlie, to Bentley, to Lunch, to Mr. Snuzzle Fuzzybutt Cuddlepants, I received over 200 different names from dozens and dozens of friends online.

    We have decided to name the puppy Pilot, which is the name of the dog owned by Edward Fairfax Rochester in the book "Jane Eyre". In addition to being a favorite novel, my hometown is Rochester, Minnesota, and we now live in Fairfax County, Virginia. We are dorks and appreciate the symmetry. For short, we will call him Pip, which is our nod to the character Peregrin ‘Pippin' Took from "The Lord of the Rings" books. :-)

    Thank you again for all the great suggestions and for sharing in the excitement of welcoming our puppy into our family.

    Well, I guess that name is a lot better than Lunch.

    Congrats!

    Yay! You liked my suggestion!
    Nice choice for a name! And as a lover and aficionado of everything Tolkien, I heartily approve of his nickname! Have fun!

    I'll have you know that Mr. Snuzzle Fuzzybutt Cuddlepants will be my go-to for a nickname. :-)

    <<<<<< This is Ralphie. At first I was going to call him "Smudge" because he was 6 lbs when we got him from the Baja Rescue. But that name could hurt his self-esteem. We got him because we were sad our old dog had to be put to sleep. This puppy cheered us up so fast and so much we almost called him Xanax. But that is a lot to live up to when you are a mutt. So he is Ralphie.

    I like unusual names. All my pets have clever names. But I admit, he looks like a Charles.. and I hate the name Charles.

    I had a shepherd once and the first thing I thought of when I saw him was "Jacob".. But that isn't my style so I looked up names related to Jacob. I came up with Asher, one of Jacobs 12 sons in the Bible.

    If you are looking for old fashioned, Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind was pretty darn cute. Velvet, Ashley, Captain, (omg he'd look awwwdorable in a sailor suit and hat!), Skipper, Chandler, Shepherd, Skyler, Lyric, Vinyl, Soliloquy, Reaver (for plundering your heart)..

    After all that, the OP didn't even name the dog one of the suggested names. I think we should think up better names for the dog.
