Rejected Pug Names

Meredith is very excited about the prospect of adopting a pug from a pug rescue organization. Part of bringing a new animal into a home is giving him or her a suitable name. Below are some names that the new pug will absolutely not be getting.

Anything that rhymes with "pug." This includes, but is not limited to: Ug, Rug, Doug, Chug-a-lug, Earplug, Bearhug, Hapsbu(r)g.
Dane Cook
Popeye
Adolf
Hitler
Adolf Hitler
Ugly Motherf*cker
Sir Mix-a-Little
Puppy O'Daniel
Jellyfish
Mayonnaise
Slave
Slav
Salve
Dr. Dookie
Frederick Dog-lass
Pug-atory

On a more serious note, if you are thinking of getting a pet, please visit your local animal shelter or a rescue agency (see the hyperlink above for the one Meredith is using). There are so many animals out there in need of good homes that it really makes no sense at all to go to a breeder, pet store (unless the pet is something like a fish, mouse, etc.), or less reputable option. Also, help control the pet population. Have your pet spayed or neutered!
