10.  Earl.  Dogs that have oddly common human names are wonderful.  Your neighbors won't know whether you're calling your dog or your uncle.

9.  Rover.  Completely uncreative, I know.  But it's such a cliché name that no one uses it anymore.  I think it'd be cute to have a dog named Rover.

8.  Fawn.  If you're a hippie, resist the temptation to name your daughter this.  Save it for your adorable little female furball.

7.  Fletch.  Chevy Chase comedy aside, this is just a cool-sounding name.  Nevermind that I sometimes call my friend this because of her last name.

6.  Plato.  You're a mad scientist, and you have a dog that looks at you inquisitively when you talk to yourself and hides his face with his paws when you begin to build something... this is the name for your dog!

5.  Scratch.  The ideal name for your average scruffy mutt.  My parents and brother had a dog named Scratch way before my time.

4.  Lola.  The subject of a Nabokov novel about pedophilia and of the Kinks' song about a transvestite, what name could be more appealing for your little bitch?

3.  Flop.  Imagine a beagle with this name... how adorable would that be?

2.  Disco.  Isn't this name just perfect for those cute little Jack Russells?

1.  Bijou.  Taken from a Queen song; French for "jewel."  It's my dog's name!
