What's in a name........

[Minga & Malu & Costa]

OK, so the name I keep coming back to is Hines Ward, after my favorite Pittsburgh Steeler. Here is a comparison between Hines Ward (Steeler's wide receiver) and (possibly) Hines Ward (doodle):

Hines Ward (Steeler) Hines Ward (Doodle)

Always smiling and happy Always smiling and happy
A mixed breed (Korean/black) A mixed breed (well, YOU know)
Wide Receiver Wide Retriever (LOL)
Catches balls and smashes into things Will (presumably) catch balls and smash into things

He would always be called by both names, in other words not just Hines or Ward, but always HinesWard. Heehee.

Other options I have considered: Polamalu (after Troy Polamalu, Steelers safety) (pronounced pole-a-mal-oo, for non-Steelers/ football fans)

Mowgli
Monkey

But really I keep going back to HinesWard. I am committing to nothing at this point!! Maybe tomorrow.

Great choice Minga.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I love it! Welcome to Doodle Kisses, Malu!

[Minga & Malu & Costa]

Ok, Polamalu it is! Malu for short......

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

I like the Mowgli and Monkey names too....!!

[Lesley, Wellington & Bingley]

Awwww he is just gorgeous - whatever name he gets. He's such a big cuddly bear - how bout 'Yogi' (Smarter than the average Bear!) =)

[Minga & Malu & Costa]

Yea, I was wondering about that DUI.....I get Tweets from NFL network and I saw nothing about it...usually he is not one to be getting into trouble with the law, can't speak to his personality otherwise ;)

[Leigh & Allie]

You are so correct. I looked it up last night. When I googled Hines Ward arrest. It showed a DUI so I thought It must be correct. When I went back and looked closer, it seems it was an April fools joke. Sorry about the mistake. I guess that is how rumors get started.

As a die hard Steeler fan, "Hines" or "Steeler" works for me. My neighbor used to have a chow named Steeler for years.

On a seperate note for Leigh; your husband is mistaken. Hines wasn't the player in either of those cases.

[Pat & "Tucker"]

I like the suggetion of "Steeler" best.

[Minga & Malu & Costa]

Oh, and I did consider Steeler as a name also.....
