It'd be cute...but then we wouldn't get to suggest names.
Pirate was good. Maybe Skipper? Tsunami? Cyclone? Bosun?

a cute dog name. *has strange tastes*

I like it. :D

I like "Pilot" for non-nautical reasons all my own, but then there's the Japanese "Anjin." That's what they call John Blackthorne in "Shogun," because they can't pronounce his name. {= )

If you want to name him after an awesome character from a relatively obscure fantasy epic, you could call him Saltheart Foamfollower or Pitchwife. Of course, you might then want to read "The [First, Second, and Third] Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever," if you haven't. It's worth the author's redundant and sometimes condescending prose, and the main character[s]'s unrelenting angst, to get to know some of the other people in the world.

Um... there's Nautilus or Urchin or Limpet or something like that... Oh, I know! Pagoo, after Pagoo the Hermit-Crab. ^_^ Or maybe Sebastian, which I think is actually a cool name.

Someone said Kraken... following the train of thought, there's Leviathan, Selkie, Narwhal, Triton, Neptune, Odysseus, Ulysses, Argo[naut]...

That's all I've got right now.

...or I would have said go with "Davy," since it's a good alternative to "Squid." ^^ And some people might not figure out who you named him after unless you told them...

Besides that, I'm rather blank on nautical things- well, barring "Cthulhu," but I doubt your dad would like that one too much either.

(I personally think "Squid" is good. Hmph.)

"Nemo" as in the Captain, not the clownfish.

Or Ahab?

Does it mean I'm getting old and out of touch when my first reaction to the news was "He was still alive?"

Because I'm getting there. Really. *goes into closet so that she doesn't go psycopathic with rage and mourns the lack of Akihabara in her life.*

Shame because it's also the title shared by some awesome otters. Maybe it'd be better suited for a labrador ...

"Sharky"? "Silver", as in Long John? Bonney or Read (surnames of famous female pirates who I think were cool)? No, maybe not the last two - Bonney sounds girly and nobody would get Read. Edward? That was Blackbeard's real first name.

Submarines are nice.

Akihabara aka, electric city. Where there are more manga shops than any place I have ever seen. They have whole BUILDINGS, and I meen skyscrapers, to manga and related paraphinalia.

L

Flipper
Navy
Swimmer
Siren (because they lived in the sea...)
Triton (as in the merking)
Neptune

Oo! "KRAKEN"! That's not a MAIN PotC character...

Or, owing to my current Narnia indulgence:
Caspian (the Seafarer)?

I'll keep it in mind, and maybe add more later.

The man who brought us One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich is dead? How sad.

In Soviet Russia, peace rests in you.

(A baker's dozen of cupcakes, of course. :D)

Huan!

Or, how about "fluffy"?

RIP

Ooh, this should be fun.

While we're going along with the sea-themed names, you could always call him "Skipper". Or "Osprey", which is a fish eagle. Or "Bosun" or "Buccaneer" or "Doubloon" or "Freebooter" or...yeah..."Dolphin"...even though that would be weird...um..."Oakum"..."Pilot"...

Yeah, that's all I got. *shrug*

We already had an "Admiral". Little fluffy white doggie.

Pirate sounds promising though... Hm.

Here's some others:
Pirate
Marine
Galleon
Parrot
Commodore
Admiral


Though if you used those last to then there's a possibility that Sailor might feel inferior to the new puppy, but since I doubt he actually is familiar with naval ratings I suppose that's not really a worry.

A very well-written essay, too.

Especially since thanks to Trojie I can't help but think of Jack Sparrow with that name because of her helpful suggestions. :P

And if my family wasn't just Navy, I'd consider Soldier, but it wasn't meant to be. XD

Somehow I knew there was going to be a plover in my future. I suppose I'll give it to my agents, when they make their appearance, and they can let it run around and peck at their console in quest of small crustaceans.

Um, this would be one of the smaller species, right? Maybe a cute little spotted sandpiper? Killdeer are handsome and all, but man, they're noisy.
