    How about 'Woofer' for a dog
    'Tweeter' would be for a bird, of course :D

    There is an audio guy here locally that named his two daughters Linn and Dyna.

    14 years ago I bought a German Short haired Pointer for hunting and breeding. I didn't have a name for her yet. Well what do you call a female breeding dog. **** of course. Well that was OK for a while, but Short hairs are known for running off. So I would have to yell out "get over here ****". Some thought it was funny, some didn't. Sit ****, beg ****, lay down ****, roll over ****, come ****. These things would be funny among friends. It get didn't sit well with others. I just started calling her "B". B is a nice name.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    LOL....Funny!:D
    Reminds me of a story my Mom tells about my older brother when he was a baby. She called him 'Stinky' for fun because of his stinky diapers. Just between him and her and maybe a close friend or two. Anyway, one day she was out in town and she got distracted talking to a friend on the sidewalk and my brother started out into the street and my Mom yells at the top of her lungs "STINKYYYYY!" I guess she got quite a few strange looks.
    Needless to say, shortly thereafter she modified the name slightly to 'Skippy'. He's now 60 yrs old and still known as Skip ;)

    If I had a black lab, I'd name it Onix.

    I kinda like the name Selah, actually. Maybe for a snobbier female cat?

    But my favorite choice (nothing to do with Home Audio) is "Zeus" for a Great Dane. Someday... :)
