Samurai Jack Inspired Dog Names

In the world of Samurai Jack, nothing is as simple as it ought to be; everyone is either a cyborg or a full-blown robot, a vast majority of folks actually seem to like living under a demonic despot, and cats and dogs are just as smart and capable as fully grown human beings. Early on, many episodes of the show were built around Jack's ensuing culture shock - the man is from Edo Japan, after all, so the writers were able to get a lot of mileage out of throwing him into a setting that's hundreds and hundreds of years into the future. Jack is nothing if not adaptable, so he was able to quickly acclimate to the strange lifeforms that predominantly populated the Earth. It's a good thing that Jack is such a flexible thinker too, as he may not have been able to befriend Rothchild III and his fellow Canine Archaeologists if he weren't open-minded. 

Sir Colin Bartholomew Montgomery Rothchild III is a sapient dog that Jack had the pleasure of meeting very early in his quest - during Episode II, to be specific. Rothchild, along with his friends McDuffy and Dreyfuss, was actually very polite to Jack, helping the displaced Samurai gain an understanding of the new world. It was Rothchild who told Jack that Aku - the evil Wizard that sent Jack into the future in the first place - had taken over Earth in his absence and spent the last few hundred years molding it into his liking. Aku also made Earth the central hub of the galaxy, explaining why there were so many strange alien creatures walking around the place. Rothchild and his friends reveal that they aren't aliens but are simply just descendants of common canines from their past and our present. 

It's the canine archaeologists' search for answers that leads them to entreat Jack for aid; due to Aku's totalitarian policies, the dogs have been unable to unearth the secrets of their species' past. Rothchild asks Jack to help them achieve their goal so that they can improve life for talking dogs everywhere. Jack agrees to help them in their mission, leading to one of the series' most epic battles to date. Later on, in Season 5, Rothchild is revealed to be alive and well despite the 50 years that have passed. He's also sired a massive litter of talking dogs who all are just as into archaeology as their father and grandfather.
