In search of a name and Egyptian Hieroglphics

OK so I was still looking about and around the intranet for a name for Atlas/Elvis/Sully(the newfie again) and tonight my mother even suggested "Tony" short for Saint Anthony, patron saint of lost things, what is she trying to suggest here? So maybe he was lost but now he is found.
Egyptian Hieroglyphics:Here are names of some Egyptian dogs translated from hieroglyphic:Blackie, Reliable, Good Herdsman, One Who is Fashioned as an Arrow, Useless, Cook-pot, and She-of-The-Town. Often names would be prefaced or followed by abu or jwjw, which translates to bow-wow...Thanks again to Bark magazine for the info.

Politics and Fido

...a Latin name meaning "I am faithful." As such it is a terrific name for the average protective and loyal family dog. However, it gets its popularity from a celebrity tie-in. Apparently, Abraham Lincoln, a largely self-educated but very erudite man, named his dog Fido. Americans followed suit in droves, putting the dog name Fido firmly in the top 20 names. Lincoln’s choice of Fido for his dog’s name was perfectly logical. Fido is the Latin for faithful, which when dealing with any pet dog is entirely appropriate
