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.

Idk if this is common knowledge but just in case there’s anyone else didn't know:

A "Lita" is a unit of Bajoran currency.

"Leeta" is like the Bajoran equivalent of a girl being named "Penny."

The Grand Nagus' wife is named after money.
