Famous diamonds, famous dogs

[la_belle_laide]

Okay, so I got a letter from the puppy breeder just a few minutes ago, telling me (and the other soon to be puppy owners,) that we get to choose the registered names of our puppies. The registered name is different from the call name (or the kennel name, as it's otherwise known,) and with litters from specific lines, the names are usually themed. This litter is from the Gemini Phaeton line, and its theme is famous diamonds. Mommadog's registered name is Gemini Phaeton Hope Diamond. Her call name is Hannah.

So! I get to chose a name from a list of famous diamonds. And I've got it down to the Shah Jahan, which is a very cool name and very awesome diamond, or the Koh-I-Noor, which isn't as cool a name, but has a much better story. Also note the names of other famous diamonds to the left there.

Oh, checkit:


ETA: Forgot to point this out, duh, those dogs are Hannah and Herbie, Mommadog and Daddydog.

By the way, that's Zoe Saldana they're posing with there. Zoe Saldana, as in, Anamaria, you know slapped Johnny Depp in POTC? I wrote her into one of my fanfics for godsakes?

Original pic is here.

Dang, man. I suddenly don't feel rich or classy enough to have this dog in my family.

I say go with the Shah Jahan, simply because Koh-I-Noor is the name of my inking pens. >.<

No kidding! That's really bizarre, talk about synchronicity.

Yeah, Shah Jahan sounds really neat anyway.

I have a few Koh-I-Noors, too.

And some Rotrings.

So, yes, I also thought of pens before diamonds.

Rotrings sounds like something that might merit a visit to the doctor. O_o
