I think you should stick with the 'Z' theme and choose

Zirak

A Dwarvish name for Zirakzigil

Taken of course from the encylopedia of Arda.

By the way, checking my Foster's Guide to follow up on morm's idea of sticking with "Z" names, I discovered that your first dog Zara has an abbreviated Shire name - the Hobbit name 'Oldbuck' is - Zaragamba!

Dagnir is a good one. Dag for short, then when you play fetch you can shout "Dag nab it!" Not a 'Z' though, I afraid.

The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!

My favourites, Bilbo and Pippin, were rejected by Mrs Saucepan. Although, she was the one who decided upon Frodo (something to do with his big, heart-melting eyes when she picked him up).

I was toying with the idea of something in Elvish but the variants for "Black Dog", Morhû and Hûmor, somehow didn't sound appropriate. But you might try an Elvish translation of something suitable (I wonder what the Elvish for head-butting captain is? ).

Hehe, Maggot is a funny name. But some people might think you are a Slipknot fan! Might be better for a rat actually, as would Wormtongue.

There's also Huan the Hound. Or Bill, if he's one of those dogs that's so big he's pony sized and it looks like you could ride on him (do not attempt this at home, kids).

I have to say my favourite out of all these is Pippin, which is really cute, but not "eyuw" cute, if you know what I mean!

Well, the ones I've heard so far that I really like are Balin (from Balin), Zirak (from morm), and especially Rhun (Brinniel's).

Have you thought at all about Estel? Good short name with strong Tolkien merit... and it's not altogether 'silly'. Or perhaps Smaug? Boyfriend would probably think you were saying Smog, which seems a little dirty. (I mean in a dirt sense, not like perverted! ) I'd also give thought to Narsil, Sauron, Rauros, Falas, or Lhun if I were you.
