Literary Names

Heathcliff and Daisy come immediately to mind, thanks to "Wuthering Heights" and "The Great Gatsby." Or you could opt for the actual author's name: "Bronte! Fitzgerald! Come!"
Celebrity Names
-
Diva names work well for the fussy, self-important dog. Cher, Beyonce, Mariah ... or maybe just plain Diva. And don't forget the male divas: Elton or Prince, perhaps.
Sports Star Names
-
Perhaps it's more of a cat name, but Tiger might work for the strong, focused dog. Other athletically inclined dogs might resonate with Venus or A-Rod.
Political Names
-
Celebrate your party affiliation with a political name. "W," Clinton or McCain make suitable dog names, or you can borrow from the first dog and choose Bo.
Biblical Names
-
St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, might enjoy being a namesake to one of his beloved animals. Hubert is the little known patron saint of dogs and hunters, and St. Roch is the patron saint of dog lovers.
Mythological Names
-
Zeus and Athena are always good choices, but some lesser known gods include Dagan, a Babylonian god of the Earth; Neptune, god of the sea; and Freya, a Nordic goddess of love.
