Scheimpflug is even better because most people (even here?) have never heard of Scheimpflug's principle or camera movements 🙂

It's a bit of a mouthful though . . . standing there in the woods shouting 'Here ! Scheimy' could get some funny looks.

How about Tessar ? Except it might give a male dog some identity problems . . .

Tessar definitely for a Girl. A stripper named Tessar would rock!

Elmar or Bessa, pretty traditional from this group of choices I guess. Then again, I named a cat Rover so why are you asking me?

 

[colker]

my favourites are Sonnar for a male and Minolta for a female.

We named our dogs Molly and Milo. But I named my cat 'Zone V'.

I know someone with a dog called "Deefer" 🙂

Not a photographic name, but makes sense.

 

[Solinar]

Bokeh would be an interesting name for a dog. Then for years afterward, you'll be heard saying aloud, "Bad Bokeh", "Good Bokeh".

Hektor both a dog and lens but not a dog of lens.

Oh, I think I'd go with Fungus.

Edit: ... or maybe Zorki

 

[cosmo]

I`d probably call it "Barnack"

 

[freeranger]

I had a cat that was called Toastrack-Jazz-von-Bodenhausen. A dog...hmmm...Agfa!

When we were chosing our childrens' names, we read somewhere to give the name the back door test, i.e. stand at the back door and shout the name as if you were calling the child for dinner. I think the same rule works for dog names. Petri, Zorki, Ricoh, Vito, Argus, and Rollei would work. Kodak is too familiar to most people.

I've got a grandchild named Cameron.

When my daughter was in nursery school she had a dog that she named Gabrielle after her favorite teacher. My son, five years younger, doesn't remember either the dog or the dog's name. When he and his wife had a daughter they named her Gabriella. Yup, I have a granddaughter named after a dog! I've had a few lenses that were dogs in their day but now their aberationn tainted and slightly soft images are considered creative and interesting.

My daughter named her black and white Spaniel " Ansel "

we named our dogs George and Gracie
