naming-conventions

I am getting a Border Collie puppy tomorrow. If I can get my wife to agree to do so I want to give it a techy/programming type of name. The vast majority of my development is in Microsoft .NET / C# on mobile devices (WinMo and tablets) as well as Silverlight and ASP.NET. I would like the name to be something in that area although I am open other technologies, etc.

I have not seen him yet. I assume he is typical Border Collie colored - black/white.

One name that crossed my mind is Xaml (pronounced Zammel).

What other name ideas do you have?
