HOUSEPETS! THE SERIES contest: The name of King's puppies!

Post by valerio »

And so here we are: this is your choice, my loyal and patient readers, to choose the name for the puppies of King and Bailey!

Now, for your convenience, THIS is how they look!
The minicorgis are females. Their personalities: two adorable, happy-to-go creatures and generally very helpful with the others. They like to help even if it means getting scolded for minding someone else's business.
The bigger one is their big brother, and you can guess who he took from, FACE! option included :lol: He's definitely on the side of grumpy, much like his daddy, but extremely protective of his sisters. Although he tends to mind his own business, he's got enough sense of duty to volunteer for chores. Who knows, one day he might be a great police dog...

So come up with a cool solution. And remember: you can vote only once, so think it well. I can't wait to read your responses! :D

LEGOTRON casted: Dillon for the boy, Summer and Gemma for the girls
COPPER casted: Rook for the boy, Gem and Minnie (Gemini) for the girls
ROARIN casted: Jack for the boy, Jay and Joy for the girls
SILLY ZEALOT (although not in his entirety) casted: Jack for the boy, Genna and Giselle for the girls
HYPERNOVATIC casted: Bishop for the boy, Jessie and Drew for the girls
GREN casted: Devon for the boy, Lira and Agatha for the girls
MUSCLECAR326 casted: Mason for the boy, McKenzie & Michelle for the girls

I say the boy should be named Dillion and the girls should be named summer and Gemma.
P.s. if you know where I got those names from you get a Internet cookie.
Play The Hayseed Knight. This isn’t self promotion, I just really like the game.

You ever realize that the two longest pieces of literature in existence are both fanfics? Weird right?

well, the only 'Power Rangers' series that I honestly liked ever was the 'Dekaranger' saga -the original Japanese, not the Americanization.
Thanks for casting your 'power pups' vote :mrgreen:

If you still go for theme naming try bishop, knight or rook. Chess pieces :lol:

if such is the case, who is the boy and who are the girls?

EDIT - I should call an exception for your cast: time ago, Brent PMed with his idea for the names and they too came from chess pieces. Should he propose them again in this thread, I'll have to make his idea official first. Sorry.

I'm trying to think of good names that go along with Bailey, names for males like king is easy.
Also what is the intended role of the puppies? I need more background context before I think of a fitting name. :lol:

I'm still thinking of names, but I think the big brother should be named after a a chess piece. Bishop or something. The two girls I'm not sure yet...I'll get back to you when I get off from work.

sorry, telling now would be a MAJOR spoiler.
Let's just say that they're going to have a major role very, very soon... Nuff said!

Rook for the boy and Gem and Minnie for the girls....


Rook for the chess piece, named after King. Gem and Minnie make Gemini, the twins in the astrological zodiac....

You have to admit, the girls look a LOT alike. XD

aww, I thought you were gonna go with 2 boys and a girl so I could suggest Rook and Bishop for the guys :(

oh well, I guess I'll throw Bishop into the ring for the guy. no idea for the girls.

some reasearch shows that the word rook is derived from the sanskrit for chariot, which is a girl's name, so I guess I'll throw that in for one of the girls.

yes, at first I thought of applying Disney genetics, but then, as I developed the characters, I changed my mind. Don't worry, I'll be waiting until you have a kewl idea, Brent.

I agree with the Kichune, I haven't gotten around to reading your fanfic (It's so big, and I can barely keep track of Gecko and VEB's!), if their name were to be forshadowing something we'll need more context before naming them.

In fact, I don't even know if, in your fanfic, Bailey and the puppies know about, y'know, Joel!

I don't know if I wanna contribute to this, I never wanted Bailey and Joel/King to get married in the first place.

you're not forced to contribute so don't worry.
As for Bailey and the puppies, no, they don't know and are not bound to know. By now, King is a dog body and soul, everything that was human has been removed and given to Pete, who basically recreated Joel minus the memories and experience of being King.
So, to recap, we have a dog who remembers being a human, once a lifetime ago. And a human who is just happy to be out of prison and working for his Mary-Sue brother.

Though seriously, how did you know it was power rangers?

Good me: -Don't you dare!

Evil me: -But I want to do it!

Good me: -I said DON'T. YOU. DARE!

Evil me: -Oh, c'mon, Valerio is going to keep up with the story even if we don't contribute!

Good me: -And that's a good enough reason for joining in and indulge him because....?

Evil me: -Because I want to say that "Jack" or "Jacky" along with "Rook" sound great for the male, and "Genna" and "Giselle" would be great for the females!

Good me: -That's it! It's back to the cage in the back of our head with you!

Evil me: -I regret nothing!

Good me: -You never do.

I think the boy should be named Bishop. The two girls should be named Jessie and Drew.

My suggestion would be Devon for the big boy, and Lira and Agatha for the twin sisters.

Well, I already vouched for "Jack", "Rook" and "Genna", so I'm pretty safe! :D

Also, when I saw Stu's drawing for the first time a few months ago, on the fanart thread, I thought that was actually Bailey grabbing her two misbehaving children, who I thought to be boys.
