Lucius has deerhounds, or maybe wolfhounds; we all know that, right?



And he's French -- he's got that certain je ne sai quoi, right? So I need a good name for a big French dog or two. And yes, I know, neither deerhounds nor wolfhounds are French, they're Scottish or Irish or something, but don't pester me with details. I looked at this list but it's giving me issues. The names that je comprends are dumb (Floffy? Floppi? Lucius would DIE of mortification) and I refuse to use a person's name (pas de Belle, pas de Sebastian) and I don't want to use a name je ne comprends pas (Fripouille? Guimauve? WTF?).

So somebody who knows French, or is French, or has French friends, help me out here: if you were French (or proud of your French heritage) and had a big deerhound (or wolfhound) or two, what would you call them?

Though not French, last year I named them Antonia and Drusus - a suitably classic pair, I thought. (Yes, I'd just been re-watching "I Claudius".

I'm assuming you're not after cutsey names like Nounou and Poupee. How about Margot and La Môle? (French queen and her lover)

I wsa thinking of Latin names too - given that he called his son Draco (or was that one of the dogs? Dis Narcissa get confused?)
