My all-time favourite doggy name is Laelaps, pronounced "LE-" (as in leg) "laps" (as in lapse). The original Laelaps, a fierce hunting dog, was a gift of Zeus to Europa.
The word Laelaps (Laelapa in contemporary Greek)grew synonymous to typhoon, fire, earthquake and other natural catastrophes. Sure beats the heck out of Kerwin.
P.S.: Laelaps is a 6-lettered to boot, thanks to the letter Psi.
