Name Search Begins!

So. We have found ourselves a kitten. :) His name is Lenya (Russian for "lion") and he's absolutely adorable. I'll try to get a picture of him. He'll be coming home sometime early- to mid-August.

The puppy we're not quite sure on yet, though we are fairly set on a litter of Bernese Mountain Dogs with a breeder in Indiana. They're only three weeks old right now, so it will be the end of August at least before one of them comes home. There are three males and one female; the female is already "somewhat" spoken for, but we want a male pup anyways, so that's not a problem.

Our problem is NAMES. This pup doesn't come named. What are we to do? What should we call him? We have come up with some ideas of German names (German because that's the #1 Swiss national language, according to the all-knowing site of Wikipedia), and I'm going to make a poll in the sidebar so you all can vote if you want. :) Here they are:

--Berg (Bairg; meaning "mountain")
--Etzel (Et-sel; meaning "noble one" if I remember right)
--Oberon/Obie (Oh-bair-on; meaning "noble bear")

Honestly, we are leaning toward Etzel right now but we'd love to have your input anyways! Please vote! :)

All I want to do is pet the furry little critters. You can call them whatever you want to. I will just call them adorable! ;)

Can't wait to play with kitty and puppy--I promise I will be good and not do anything that would lead to bad training.
