Okay. I am finally taking the plunge and getting another dog. Like Happy, he will be a Lhasa Apso.
(See pictures below.)

I'm sure everyone will be amused at this, but I will be flying to Albany sometime around Memorial Day. (Yes, I am buying a dog in New York, and flying both ways so he doesn't have to fly cargo or make an 1100 mile drive at 15 weeks old.) What can I say? [duh]

However, I haven't decided on a permanent name yet. His kennel name is okay, but just doesn't have the right feel. And for some reason I can't call him Happy II or similar.

So I'm asking from suggestions from friends all over. If you get the winning name, I will buy (or fund) you two six-packs of your choice (or for nonbeer drinkers, a good bottle of non-French wine) (I'm too cheap to buy French wine; no bottle's of Charles Woodson's wine allowed either, for same reason). (And I promise not to do a Jermichael Findley either, though I might have to be educated how to send alcoholic beverages over state/country lines).)

So far, the candidates are, in no particular order:
Storm (his kennel name)
Micro (for "microeconomics", my kind of economics)
Edward Warren (for two of my college professors)
Eddie the K (for one of those two professors and my biggest mentor)
Elmer "Pete" (for my dad)
Elmer Arthur (for my dad and brother)
Adam Smith (for famous dead economist)
Ben or Bernard (for Ben Bernanke, from someone who obviously doesn't know my opinions on monetary policy)
Karl (for another dead economist, from someone who does)
Gus

Any suggestions. Again, pictures are below if you need inspiration.

Behemoth.

Ferguson- Adam Ferguson

Snarky -for their underbite and aggressive nature.

Maynard - for Keynes.

Babbage- Charles Babbage

Lucky-Lhasa Apsos are said to bring luck, hence the saying "Lucky Lhasa".

Ely- Richard Ely

Dalai Lama. Naw if it was a female Dolly.

🤔

Looks like a Zombieslayer to me. ;)

Teddy would be fitting too.

---

That works for MACRO. [grin1]

If you had two they could be supply and demand.

How do you feel about Jevons?

"WoN" for Wealth of Nations.

---

or Teddyslayer. He is hell on stuffed animals.

---

Are you sure that dog isn't a stuffed animal and the New Yorker isn't pulling a fast one on Wade?








I jest. Very cute dog. I want to see that doggie in real life. 🖐
I'm happy for you Wade that you're finally getting a new dog. It's long overdue.

Something that cute should be named Dakota or Troy.

Julie says name him Pookie.

I say name him Gizmo - the good Gremlin.

---

Pookie actually is really good. I'm not giving you an applause point though. Julie will have to create an account so I can applause her.

And you're not cute. [puke] :-& 👎

---

I was going to mention at sometime that my last pup was named Dakota. She was a great dog.

If he is named Troy he will need glasses and all the other dogs will laugh at him and not let him play in their doggie games.

---

Hey Troy your next dog should be named Killer. As in killer bees.

---

Originally I was going to buy two and call them macro and micro.

Everyone told me that was a bad idea, though.

---

How about Friedrich Frédéric? (for Hayek and Bastiat)

---

They would be diametrically opposed to each other.

---

We have a female cockapoo named Lilly - I call her killer when she barks at everything that moves, but she's pretty worthless if push came to shove.

---

Thought about it. Decided it would work for a Alsatian from Alsace-Lorraine.


My favorite would have been Kitty. Go outside to call your dog and say "Here Kitty Kitty Kitty." and have your dog run to you. Works best with the giant breed of dogs.

My dad called his dog Dup. Part dog and part pup. Informally I use it for my dog every once in a while when I am thinking of Dad.

Last two for me-
Uncle Teddy since you so admire the job GB does in drafting every year.

Crispin in honor of NSD's newest deduction.

Oh if you were only an accountant. Or a Sherlock Homes fan. (Deduction.)

---

Actually I briefly toyed with Moriarity. But couldn't see myself calling "Here Mori!"

Same with Babington (for the "last man to know everything")....Here Babi?

---

Nitschke!

i like gus.
