Apparently only a few days remain before the Obama family dog arrives at the White House – a Portuguese water dog, most sources seem to be saying.

That means we better run now with our list of the top 10 names for the First Family’s dog – assuming that, if they haven’t already, they’ll quickly come up with a name for the pup and not take another four months to get that accomplished.

Since we don’t know the gender we’ve included masculine, feminine and a few unisex names. Got a better suggestion? Send it along.

1. Ah-choo (or Gesundheit )– in honor of all the sneezing that, since the dog is allegedly hypo-allergenic, won’t be going on

2. Vasco – in honor of Vasco Bensaude, the Portuguese shipping magnate who kept the breed from going extinct.

3. Nottadoodle – Just to get back at those pushy Labradoodle fans who insisted the First Family choose that hybrid.

4. Monica – As a reminder that, when you’re in the White House, things can go down(hill) really quickly.

5. McCain – In honor of his opponent in the presidential race.

6. Stimulus, or Stimuli – We could use all we can get.

7. Hope – Maybe a bit audacious, but a nice name.

8. Omar – In honor of the president’s favorite character on “The Wire,” a gay stickup artist who steals from drug pushers to give to the poor.

9. Intruder – Just to make the Secret Service jump up every time anyone calls the dog.

10. Fin – In honor of the far-too-drawn-out, much-too-commented-upon drama of what the First Dog would be finally being over.
