My foster dog is very pregnant and about to pop. I need some awesome puppy names!
Disclaimer: I am not a breeder. I volunteer with the local Doberman Rescue Organization.
This is Mia (or Mama Mia as I have been calling her). Long story short, Mia was in a high-kill shelter which is prohibited from adopting out Dobermans. I got the call last week that her time was up and she needed help immediately. Not only was she dumped at a shelter in the middle of the night, but she is very, very, very pregnant. I got her on Friday and we visited the vet, who said a) she is due any day now, and b) he can count at least 10 puppies on x-ray. I have no experience with whelping puppies, so I've spent the last few days researching and asking advice from fellow rescuers about the process, and I feel like I'm as prepared as I'm going to be on that front. And then, just as I'm feeling like I've got it all covered, someone asked me today, "what are you going to name the puppies?".
AAACK! I totally hadn't thought of that. So, I figured I'd turn to the wonderful creative minds at metafilter to help me think of a good set of names for these 10+ puppies. Some of the "themes" we have used for litters that have come into rescue in the past have been famous chefs, New Orleans Saints players (we are in Louisiana), Disney characters, and Greek gods/goddesses. We've also had about a million dogs in the program named after Mardi Gras Krewes, so that's probably out as an idea.
Other possibly pertinent details - The mom is a pure red and rust doberman, the dad could be anything at all; I am a nerd, but most people that adopt from us are not, so nothing that requires a twenty minute explanation of where the names came from; the puppies will likely be born within the next 5 days (Easter-themed names? I'm at a loss....).
All ideas for themes and names that fit the theme are greatly appreciated!

I would imagine that most people are going to want to name the puppies themselves, so don't get too wrapped up in the perfect names.

The germans usually name their dogs by litter - eg: a bitch's first litter is all A names, second litter is B names, etc.

I'm very partial to old fashioned human names for dogs, as my dog, Clark, can attest. (He was named that by his rescue and we kept it.) And I've noticed other dogs in my neighborhood following this trend, so I must not be the only one. Keeping with that, how about:
Walter
Buster
Norman
Milton
Clark (!)
Bert
Mildred
Harriet
Daisy
Dottie
Betty

My mom and brother end up naming a group of puppies by appearance and personality. Which resulted in one being Meerkat.
My next door neighbor used Harry Potter names for her Pomeranians. She still has Lily & Neville. Others would be Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna, Lavender, Cho, Cedric, Seamus, Lee. Wikipedia has a extensive list.
Gem stones would also be fun:
Agate
Amethyst

Jasper
Marc (for Marcasite)
Moonstone
Onyx

Name them for sportspeople. Especially from local teams. People will want to adopt a dog named for their favourite player.
(My own preference, though, is for the Abba names. Except they left out Chiquitita!)

- Should be short, not more than 1 or 2 syllables, to facilitate verbal command training, use by kids, and engraving on tags, etc.
- Should not be a common human name, or close sound alike (to avoid verbal command confusion).
- Should have 1 or more sharp consonants and short vowel sounds (again, to facilitate verbal command training and calling).
- Shouldn't be commonly or culturally vulgar, where the dog will normally live (you never know when you'll have to put up "Lost Dog" posters)

In the spirit of paulsc's suggestions, how about names from the phonetic alphabet? Alpha, Foxtrot, Lima, and Zulu all sound like fine puppy names to me!
Or Greek letters--Omega, Phi, Theta, Zeta all sound fun, too.

Kevin, lol. I just watched Up this weekend.
Our dog is named Tucker, His name was given to him by the local shelter. It's a really great name, so we kept it.
What about naming them after the Greek or Roman gods? I like the idea of a group of names based on a TV show or book. That would be relatable to people looking to adopt. Musical groups would be great, but most don't have tne or maore members! Sesame street might be a good source, or What about Dr, Seuss? Horton, Lorax, etc.
On a side note, I know someone who named their cats Thor (male) and Freya (girl). How perfect!

Years ago, our family's dog came from a little of twelve, and they were mostly hand-raised. All of the puppies wore a little band of terry cloth in a distinct color. So, as you're thinking of naming these guys, also think about how you'll tell them apart! The puppy wearing the purple band was Violet, green was Patrick, a camouflage band was Tank. That also helped the breeder figure out how much they were eating, etc.

I prefer the deities from the "honkey motherland".
starting with:
Baldr
Freyr
Heimdallr
Hermóðr (for the runt)
Loki
Odin (for the big one)
Thor,
and for the "ladies"
Freyja
Gefjun
Hel (my cats name)
Nanna
Rán (for the one who steals your shoes)
Sandraudiga [for the one who (bites) hurts]
Sif (mother in law... probably does not apply)
Baldr is my favorite. He was no Thor.
