What Is a Good Name for A Pitbull Boy?

Some good names for Pitbull boy are Rufus, Maximus, Casper, and Telly.
I consider some additional factors in my answer:
How “good” the name sounds – Did the correct spelling in the given input match my predictions?
What would be an excellent trait that most Pitbull’s or male dogs share?
This is my reasoning I came to with the decision of Casper over other choices like Rex or Rocky (and if they spelled it differently than I predicted):
“Casper” has an overall more excellent sound than “Rex” or “Rocky.”
Of course, all of the above are acceptable, but Casper sounds better based on my own personal preference.
The correct spelling used in the given input matches my prediction (of course, I’m not 100% sure it’s the right choice because it’s my own prediction).
It is an excellent definition that male dogs are referred to as “boys.”
Therefore, Casper being the boy version of the more popular female name Cassandra was also acceptable by me.
After I had computed all of these factors together, it seemed like Casper was the best choice.
However, if you had a preference for another spelling, I would use that reasoning to determine if it sounded better or not.
You do you if you like Rex better or Rocky!
