Lightbulb Puppy names

Hey everyone, I need some help. I am about to register a litter of puppies and need a few name suggestions. I give each of my litters a theme, and this litter is the "fictional character" litter. So that means that each pup will be named after a character from a TV show, book or movie.

For instance I am planning to name the pup we are keeping (a girl)
Xena Warrior Princess

I need names for both boys and girls, and since I need 3 choices for each I need lots of names, so get thinking

Well, if you start with Xena, that gives you a few other choices-like Joxer the Mighty. Hmmm, Autolocus the Prince of Thieves is a bit unwieldy.

How about Polgara? She was a sorceress from David Eddings excellent Belgariad and Mallorean books. Or Garion, her nephew? Belgarath the Sorcerer (same books)? Ce'nedra the Dryad (or Xe'nedra).

Different books-Artagel the Sword Master? Myste (a princess)?

I just am drawing a blank here tonight...I'll have to look at my books.

I'm reading the Mallorean series now. Excellent books!

There's always Lord of the Rings characters too. Frodo, Gimli, Bilbo, Arwen to name a few...

Thanks all for your suggestions, I am trying to stick to names I can pronounce though

I can not use Romeo, that is the father's name, and I know another dog named Nemo.

I have a list now, I will add some of these to it.

Ok so here's a question, speaking of superman, is his real name Kent Clark or Clark Kent

I am really stuck on girls names, I like something flashy, cute or strong, if you know what I mean.

Since I'm a Harry Potter fan, I'd go with "magical" names but then, come to think of it, they might be a bit unwieldy - Whomping Willow - or Willow,
Sorcerer, Gryffindor, Muggles, Hufflepuff, Merlin...

All I can say is, Good Luck!
