What dog name pairs well with Olive?

Thinking of naming one dog Olive, what might pair well? Looking for Milo and Otis vibes.

Popeye?
- Came here for this, thank you for your service.
- Also Brutus
- This is the one, @Anissem@lemmy.ml
Pimento
- oh yeah, he spend the last 12 years undercover in the shelter
  
  Watch out for the night screams though.
Martini
- You could call it marty!
  
  That's just really funny to me to make a diminutive out of a diminutive. Martini already means Marty. Both Martinez and Martin, which they are respectfully diminutives of come from the Latin Martinus for a child dedicated to the god Mars.
- You could use Marti as a nickname.
  Bonus points if the dog is teeny. Mar-teeny
- It’s a male dog so how about Doyle?
Pickle
- Olive and Pickle sound like crude bathroom signs.
- Awww I love this one
- This is the one.
Martini.
I was going to say Yiu, as in "Olive you" (I love you), but "you" comes up way to much in regular language, would confuse the poor dog.
- +1
- Perfect! A lot of these work together but only work as a pair. This one stands alone as well.

Caper
Pimento
Prosciutto
Oyster
Scallop
- My wife and I have an Australian shepard named Olive. We've already committed to getting a mini and naming it caper
  
  I've got a mini and am looking into getting another mini or a full size. Caper sounds like a fantastic name considering how sneaky my current one is.
Muhammad
- I'm losing it in the hospital corridor lmao
Garden is a good dog's name
- Came here, looking for that answer.
- Agreed!
Martini. Marti for short, which has the benefit of being ungendered.
You could do Olive and Ollie for that sweet alliteration.
Alternatively, Olive and Chives is pretty good too.
Hugh.
As in "Olive, Hugh!"
...the other reindeer
- Olive! Olive!

Anything Popeye related.
I had a great-aunt named Olive whose husband's name was Ham (short for Hamilton).
Always known as Ham and Olive.

  Pimento's mementos
  
  I was terrified he was going to headbutt my penis
  E: I guess more appropriate for this particular episode -- everyone knows that the head is the hammer of the body

That way you could have Olive & er. And if you get a third one you could call it John.
