My wife (better known as She Who Must Be Obeyed) and I decided to expand our family, as can be seen here. We had trouble picking a name for her, though. I thought of "Cato June" because 1) we're Colts fans, 2) he lays some wicked tackles, and 3) when we were at the humane society, she put a from-behind tackle on our older son that had to be seen to be believed. (His nose was thoroughly licked in the process.) After trying about a dozen names, none of which really worked, we settled on Perl. Well, of course. The best part is, it was my wife's idea (ah, geek love!) and we can always say that we wanted a name that none of our friends or family (or their pets) have. Which, if you haven't done it, is not as easy as it sounds.

Anyway, she is an absolute sweetie and has won our hearts completely, and I cannot think of a better use of perl than naming you family dog.
