+# InstructLab's Dog Logo Name
+
+## Scope
+
+This document is to name the official InstructLab Dog's name. There are time are
+times when we need to reference the name, and "the logo" or "it" is impersonal
+and not fully in the spirit of what we are trying to accomplish with our project.
+This is a way to help formalize it so we can reference the dog as an individual.

+
+## How to determine the name
+
+This is undecided at the initial writing of this dev-doc, but I propose we add to
+the "proposed" names, and use the comments on this PR as a justification for the name
+we propose as. As in example I'll comment on the first one with the name I'm suggesting.
+
+## Proposed Names
+
+- Lemme
+- Ruffles
+- Pedro
+- Alan Turing (Alan for short)
+- Specs (per J. Jenkins)
+- Codey (per Rebecca Neufeld)
