What about some sort of mythical god or something from ancient times, that would be cool

Like Loke, or Ares. =]

For clarity, Loke is the god of mischief, which I think would be kind of suitable for a dog. Ares is the god of war, which just means he's uber cool.

Kal-El :)

EDIT: Or Krypto ;)

Oh, wait! You are on ATOT, so it ought to be 'Nef'! "Hey Nef, come here boy, stop crappin' all over the place, you dirty mongrel!" See, it will roll right off your tongue :D

name him after his/her culture or something you think is interesting...

ex. I bought a dachshund (german dog) so i named him after german emporer Otto the Great because i thought it would be cool to name him after his heritage and i like history and otto the great is an intersting fellow. If i were to get a girl german dog, i would name her Sara because in german it means Princess and that is a cool name (see ebaums world for princess animations :p )

anywho...there are plenty of creative ideas out there :p

I'm fairly certain it's conventionally spelled as Loki.

Not in Norwegian mythology. =]
