Earlier this morning
we posted a story revealing that the Obamas are looking into getting a rescue
Portuguese Water dog (similar to the one shown here) and are debating what to name it. The First Lady told PEOPLE exclusively: "Oh, the names are really bad. I don't even want to mention it, because there are names floating around and they're bad," Mrs. Obama says with a laugh. "You listen and you go – like, I think, Frank was one of them. Frank! Moose was another one of them. Moose. I said, well, what if the dog isn't a moose? Moose. I'm like, no, come on, let's work with the names a little bit."
This news has got our community buzzing! Moose? Frank? ... Someone else suggested Buster. We want to hear from more of you! What should the Obamas name their dog? Leave your suggestions below and we'll have a vote in the coming days on the best ones.
What should the Obamas name their dog?

My son thinks the Obama's dog should be named Alexander (Alexander the Great). I think his name should be Otis. ? ?
