Like, both excerpt names and NEH names
- a lot of dogs have official registered names that are just whole phrases, and the call name the dog will actually go by normally will be one word from it
- a lot of the official names start with possessives like NEH names, which I think can be the breeder's business name, the owner's name, or one of the dog's parents' names maybe?
- a lot of them also start with honorific acronyms that in combination with the above make them sound like Culture ship names. The acronyms are things like "GCHB" for "Grand Champion Bronze" (took me a while to realize it wasn't "Grand Champion Bitch", which I would perhaps like to earn as a title in my name)
