That was interesting. Yes I read all of it.
If I hadn't seen pit bulls on television with Cesar Millan (the dog whisperer) I'd probably buy into the stereotype myself. They are lovely dogs, friendly and loyal. It is the owners that make them violent.
He will be big and blue (coat and eyes) so what about -
Fathach gorm (blue giant)
You can call him "gorm" for short (blue) which is easier to say.
Although there could be a special word for that blue coat in Irish that I'm not aware of.
My friend keeps and breeds pitbulls, and the only problem is trying to convince them that they are NOT lapdogs. Big monstrous feckers always jumping into your lap and slobbering all over your face.
I like the name Gorm. The Kerry Blue breed is called Brocaire Gorm in Irish, so I don't think there is any issue with using it for a dog's coat.

We don't use vocative with dogs, it only confuses them.
But that's the whole idea. They get used to the vocative form, and then they don't recognise their names when you're gossiping about them.
