A lot of the names mentioned on here, I had thought of.
I actually wanted to name Champ "Bantu" after my mom's old Rhodesian Ridgeback that was very protective of my mom and her mom when my grandfather was a big jerk (in nice terms) and treated them awfully. The dog protected them.

uhh...sorry, off track...long story...
anyway, we wound up with "Champ" because that was BF's decision (who wasn't happy with me getting the dog in the first place, so I let him name him, but then fell in love with him of course)
I've seen one other member with a baby, about the same age as Champ, named Champ, and they're in NJ! But I can't remember who :D
