My Pit is named Ohm. My parents were hippies, so they gave me the middle name Moon. Don't ask what they were toking at the time, i don't even want too know. Ohm (my dog) made a huge impact on my life when he entered it, so I named him after a lunar crater on the moon named Ohm. But an Ohm is also a unit of resistance, so that derivation would suit him well too.
Too bad we can't see a pic of maybe-Max as I don't think this forum allows pics.
