Ranger-Related Name for my Dog

PrintThis may be a strange post. But I'm getting a dog in a couple of days and I want to give him a Ranger-related name. I was gonna go with Hammer because Hank Blalock was my favorite player for a long time. I know he'll probably be gone next year, and he's been nothing but a constant on the DL, but I thought it would be a cool name.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've seen how creative some of the posters on here can be. Figured I'd give y'all a chance to come up with a name for my new pup.
Thanks in advance!
-Matt

I still vote for Macumba...
…but I love the idea of Rikkert, and the question marks hanging over the heads over all those hearing the name for the first time — and those question marks remaining after the explanation.

Not real creative,
but my dog’s name is Ranger.

every August?

I'm not sure
…but I think that might have been uncool.

I imagine Brett didn't mean that maliciously.
Just naming him after a future Ranger.
Speaking of which, Jamey, what position are you grooming him for? Because we could always use pitching.

Max
Wants to be a shortstop.
Built like a catcher.
I think he’ll pitch (at least some).

My dad has three sons.
Made all of us into catchers.
Got to live his dream with my little brother, because he’s left-handed.
Sadly, he doesn’t play baseball anymore. Could have been a money maker.

There is only one possible correct answer
Oddibe.

Name it
Sac. Or, if you really want it to reflect recent Rangers clubs, name it Walk or Error.
O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!
Sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen,
und freudenvollere.
Oddibe...
MIGHT actually work. And Jamey, don’t worry. I promise I won’t name my dog Max Newberg!
Everyone who has posted serious ideas, I really do appreciate it. Please keep them coming.
Inky or Oddibe
sound great to me. Maybe Igor if it looks like it may be a beast or Pudge if one of those fat dogs…
If this helps at all.........
he’s a little Pug/Terrier mix, I believe. Thanks again for all the responses!
OT: Pedrioa once again showed his douchebagness
“That’s a bad infield,” Pedroia said. “That place is like a parking lot out there. It just kicked up on me.”
blame it on the infeild
and the attendance is just plain bad
“I love the fans we have in Boston,” Byrd said. “I don’t think I’ve ever been cheered like that coming out of a game on the road. I didn’t know if I should tip my cap or not because I didn’t want the Rangers to get mad at me.”
I give up
Go Timeless
Make sure you pick a timeless name. There’s few things worse in the sports world than the ridiculously out of place jersey of a never been. Unless of course that never been is chosen for comedic value, which they rarely are.
You could go retro and be fine with Oddibe or something.
No one wants to be reminded of misplaced adoration the likes of which is usually reserved for 8 year olds when they’re 45 and they’re dog Fernando Tatis is still alive.
Timeless
Remember that time that the Rangers named their ballpark “Ameriquest”? Two years later, they regretted it.
So, you probably don’t want to pick something like “Knoxxie”.
These are common names: Buddy (from Buddy Bell), Rusty (if it’s red).
FWIW, I have a dog named Homer.

Name the dog Nolan
Seriously, that sounds like a good name for a dog. Or a horse for that matter.
We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
