I think the name Jackson suits him well. Especially when you call him Action Jackson. I picture a cartoon super hero dog when I hear his name.

Well, Anna was original named Lana and we got her from a rescue/shelter. I have an acquaintance named Lana and for personal reasons could not possibly imagine saying that name forever so we dropped the L and named her Anna. If I had a choice she would have been named Betty. We actually call her Tubba Wubba most of the time because she's chubby and waddles.

Barney should really be named Chester because he looks like Chester cheetah. My son named him Barney off of a character from How I Met Your Mother. I don't love the name, but I adore the dog. On vacation, he made lots of young friends because they knew another Barney (the dinosaur). They would ooh and ahhh when they heard his name.
