DS9 characters rated by how well you could name a dog after them.

(For simplicity reasons I am splitting this into two posts for surnames and first names, this is surnames, first names will follow)

Sisko: 10.0/10, it's got a nice sound to it, two syllables, good nickname potential, could work on any breed I think. People could get the reference but it's subtle enough to fly under the radar, just the right balance between generic and nice for my taste, perfect name for a dog

Kira: I mean it's a solid name, which is most likely the reason every second female dog (hyberbole) is called Kira, so like a 5.0/10. Beautiful name, but its abundant use putsits score that low. Sorry to all dogs named Kira, ownersof dogs named Kira, Kira (the character) enthusiasts and of course Kira herself.

Bashir: 3.2/10, Also two syllables, but just doesn't have that nice ring to it. I also don't really see it on a dog, maybe on certain breeds or mixes of certain breeds.

Odo: Good, distinct name. 7.9. Loses points because I once had a dream where a hybrid out of him and one of my teachers played the antagonist. Also, knowing Odo, I couldn't imagine this name on any long coated or stubby dog.

O'Brien: 8.7, Good name, breed versatile but especially fitting for like a working or active dog. Most likely going to fly under the radar.

Dax: 9.5/10, just one syllable but otherwise the same as Sisko, except for maybe being a tad more recognisable as a reference PLUS it's gender neutral.

Worf: 4.1/10, sounds a bit silly. Thematically fitting for a bigger dog, funny for a small one, but not in an out of place way. Reference is obvious, you have both tng and ds9 fans on your side.

Quark: 2.1/10. Please don't name your dog Quark.

Rom: 2.6. Better than Quark but not by much.

Nog: 1.8. Don't.

Leeta: 10/10. Cute, suuuper breed versatile, unique yet simple. Even more subtle than Sisko, I just love that name so so much.

Garak: 6.0/10. Sounds a bit like the sound a frog makes or perhaps a dog puking (Good name if the dog has a weak stomach) .Definitely more on the obvious reference side, but could very easily get nickname'd into Gary.

Dukat: 7.8/10 just by the sound of it, but what did the puppy do to deserve that???

Winn: 0.9, Sounds bad and there's no crime a dog could ever commit to justify this name as punishment.

In the early 15th century, Edward of Norwich, the 2nd Duke of York, wrote a list of over 1,000 names that he deemed suitable for hunting dogs. It's included in a book called "The Master of Game," and it's considered the oldest English-language book on hunting. The corresponding dog pictures We Rate Dogs used are just some visual context from the time period, but they have been carefully selected to match a name from the list.

I know no one asked but here's a list of appropriate dog names according to Xenophon

Xenophon in his work "On Hunting" (Κυνηγετικός) he is analyzing specifically the general aspect of hunting and he reaches the subject of hounds and hunting dogs and in his 7th book mentions also a list of names that seem appropriate for dogs!

First of all he says that the names "must be short so they will be easy to call out" (Τὰ δ᾽ ὀνόματα αὐταῖς τίθεσθαι βραχέα, ἵνα εὐανάκλητα ᾖ.) and then he makes the suggestion that "they should be something like this" (εἶναι δὲ χρὴ τοιάδε·) and proceeds to give us some dog names examples (once again forgive me if I make any mistakes below!):
