Doggie Name

I thought of the name for the Vorlon Dog, if we get him - Danny Boy.

Yeah, I know he's not Irish - so what.

If you like Danny Boy then so be it. We like it.

Ted,
Actually, Danny Boy is not an Irish song, it is set to an old Irish tune (Londenderry Aire). It isn't even about a father singing about his deceased son. It was written as a love song from a woman to a man, but alternate words were provided should a man wish to sing about a woman. There is a great site that has lots of history about the song:

I hope Danny Boy will bring you as much joy as my dogs have brought to me. Great name!
