Ha - I like Rover too. That's funny. Here is a list of the astronomy-ish dog names we've had:Pandora (named after Saturn's moon - called her Dorie; among or other things - she was not nice)Kokaubeam ("Kobe" - means "star" in LDS-lore.)Muad'Dib ("Moe" if you can't have astronomy, then there are worse things than Frank Herbert.)Cleopatra ("Cleo" - NGC 1535)Cassiopeia ("Cassie") Max Planck ("Max") My wife wasn't happy about this one, but agreed that "Max" was better than my other suggestion: NGC 457 (call him "ET"). I wanted to name him this because he is from the same family as Cassiopeia.

Hi Mark, my suggestion is Enana Roja (Spanish for red dwarf). If the poodle is not a miniature, then go with "meathead".? Hey, some meat is red, so I guess it works.
