I was just asked where the name Pug, came from in my Riftwar series. First draft he was Pip, in a tip-of-the-hat to Dickens, for Great Expectations was my favorite book (tied with the Pickwick Papers) and the first Davie Lean directed film Id seen as a kid. Then I read Alan Dean Fosters The Tar Am Krang, the first Flinx and Pip book, and said Damn, got to grab another name. Pug just jumped into my head, and I thought it a great name, the sort of name youd hang on a kid who was scrappy and fun to have around. Nothing more complicated than that.
