I don't profess to know much about dogs but I've heard when it comes to training them it's best to go with a one syllable name. I think he looks like a Jack :)
But I also like Cal to go with the Calvin & Hobbes theme

Well I'm not 100% on it but I have come up with Dexter.
I originally came up with Baxter - and I was really happy with that - and then rang the in-laws and they have his brother, and have named him Baxter!!! Wouldn't you know it??!!! So I thought maybe Dexter. But not sure whether two brothers Dexter and Baxter are just silly.
Thoughts on Dexter?
I have to say I do like Flynn and Scout. But not sure if I like them better than Dexter. He looked like a Baxter to me and the last few days I've been calling him Dexter so it might just be his name by default!

Dexter is awesome!! Lisa is right, short names are best for training (you can scream Dex!! while he scampers after the cat!..) He's a cute little dude.
My dog is called Flynn

Hmm how about Silky,
Though to be honest I am also terrible at naming pets, my Cats have been Juggernaut, Darling Charlie (thats the same cat mind you)
Jiminy Cricket, A dog called Sparky which turned to Sasha.
Yeah my family was always changing their names and then it stuck :(

Dexter always reminds me of Mark Leishman's old labrador that he had back when that show Tux Wonder Dogs was around!
My sister has a boxer named Baxter, it's a very popular name!

Well I'm still considering:
Scout
Scooter
and Calvin (because I have Hobbes)
I wish I wasn't so indecisive! 
I kinda need some feedback about the above names plus Dexter... yea Dexter reminds me of that dog too!

I say go with Scout...... but only cause I suggested it lol 
Seriously tho, I do like the name and think it suits him. It's a bit different from the usual dog names but still a single syllable name so nice and easy for training.
I have a friend with a turtle named Scooter lol

I always associate Scout with Bruce Willis's daughter, not sure if that's a good thing or not! I have a cat called Dex (after the character Ronin Dex played by Jason Mamoa on Stargate Atlantis), he gets called Deckles. For some reason the "nicknames" I give end up longer than the original names. (e.g our cat Dougal gets called Fatty Noodles- she's quite tubby). Apparently dogs only hear the vowel sound in words- another useless bit of info for you!

I love the name Maverick too. Our vet has a Boxer named Maverick as well That is what I wanted to call our Boxer but DF didn't like it so he named him Benson instead.

Am pretty sure you aren't allowed to link to TM at all, esp your own auctions...
And did you pick Rusty?!

Oh gosh there are far too many rules on OB! I guess they'll remove this thread if they have any objection. I didn't pick a name as we are selling him. Will give him to a family friend tomorrow if not sold by then but Rusty wasn't on my shortlist
