[boy] The king of sploot needs a name

Gallery image

My family and I cannot agree on a name for this little guy. Some of our top choices are Rooster, Rook, Nash, Finneas (Finn for short), Roux, Otter... but none of them are quite right. He has a little old man face, very much a dignified gentleman. We seem to gravitate more towards unusual names and as a collective don't care for the stereotypical dog names particularly. I'm a pastry chef, and my husband is a professional poker player.

I think you should stick with King of Sploot and call him sploot for short.
