Sometimes my parents name their dogs after Star Wars characters: Wicky (after the ewok) & Yoda. I think there was a puppy named Boba Fett once, but I'm not sure.
Dukgoo, after their mountain. Bbina, after... er... she's just really sweet.
Our puppy was going to be Martha, after M. and his brother's only childhood pet, Martha the hamster, who had been named after Martha Washington. (go figure)
Then, Martha the Maltese, didn't sound right.
We were standing in front of our books, to see what girl names were easy to call (1-2 syllables) and not "Sweetie CutiePie Nookems." (which we'll probably call her anyway)
M. thinks Emily is from Emily Dickinson or Emily Bronte. Actually, I got it off Emily Byrd Starr from the L.M. Montgomery books. It was standing at eye-level, next to Perdido Street Station (nope) and Fire and Hemlock (Polly, name of my last puppy). So, Emily of New Moon, it is.
Er. And Captain Janeway from Star Trek Voyager.
Yup, good ol' Emily Janeway Puppy.
