looking for suggestions for dog names
I've lost a 7 year, tenacious battle and my spouse is adopting a second Bichon, a 5 month old male.

After long discussion, the finalists (absent new input) are:

Zaphod
Bluto
Cuervo
Tequila
Guiness (I think that's brilliant, personally)

We're looking for an unusual name (obviously).

Here is the little guy in question:

24. I think it's perfect
Just have the dog walk in the mud up to his knees. Then he'll look like a glass of Guiness with a large head.

8. All great suggestions....
I'm still pushing for Zaphod, as I'm a HG2G fan, but I think I'll lose that battle too.
