Good that it's not a dog. I can't imagine anyone calling a name like that. Tortoises have the advantage that, normally, they are not called as often as the dogs.

My cousins used to have two hamsters, named Arwen and Galadriel. When I was litt... well, younger, I wanted a dog whom I would name Huan or something like that. Later, I wanted a smaller, possibly wolf-spitz dog whom I would name Isengard (in English, so exactly how you read it). But nowadays, I don't think having a dog would be a good idea, whatever he'd be called. Dog just takes too much of your time, and to be honest, I am not particularly fond of dogs. Maybe I could say that I wanted the dogs more because of the names I could give then than the dogs themselves
