"I’ve got the perfect name for that cute coyote of yours. Since you are like the Iolaus (sort of) to Hercules, and the pup is like the Iolaus to you, why don’t you just call hi m …wait for it…….

Iolaus.
See, doesn't it look cool? Plus, I think it’s what Hercules would want. Don’t you think? So, anyways, now that I’ve singled-handedly solved that problem, you can go back to giving S.H.I.E.L.D. hell. "

"How about Banner? After Bruce Banner of course!"

"Best dog name ever: Pookie"

"My dog's a golden retriever and he's a brilliant dog. He learns things so easily and has the most expressive and understanding face I've ever seen in a dog. If the puppy belongs to a genius like Amadeus (and seeing as to how it looks similar to my dog as a puppy), I'm suggesting my dog's name, Koro.

My other idea is Vulnus, the latin word for wound."

"I think that Cho's coyote should be called Kanis, Mr. L. Kanis (Canis latrans) if you're nasty."

"Either Alcmene after Hercules mother or Iphicles after Hercules half twin brother or even Hercules
third wife, Hesione. I would actually perfer you named him Hylas after Hercules little friend that he took on."

Lil Miss Fixit

Clementine

Leia

Dazey

"Why not just name the pup, Karuk after one of the native American tribes that once worshipped Coyote as the Trickster?"

"Heck, call him Zeus and see what daddy issues with Herc and Ares comes out."

"Starky, just to stick it to the Director of SHIELD.
Cerberus, to make herc uncomfortable and imply that you are skirting closer and closer to villiany
Pita, because to pretty much everyone in the Marvel U, you are a huge Pain In The... oh never mind."

Bruce

Fish

"I think the puppy should be called Molossus, or Molo for short."

Einstein

Lulah-belle

""Skrull"....because he's gotta be one! Come on, Cho, you're supposed to be a genius--DO THE MATH! Or at least read up on coyote biology. You've had the puppy with you since before you met the Hulk, right? Considering that since then, the Hulk was shot into space, spent enough time on an alien world to become a gladiator and overthrow a king, then returned to Earth for some vengance and proceeded to tear up Manhattan....do you honestly think that a genuine coyote would stay "cute puppy size" for that length of time? Coyotes take a year at most to grow to full size, after all.

Face the fact, Mr. Cho--you're carrying a Skrull infiltrator in your jacket!"

Wile E. (Surprised no one has suggested that yet)

Roadrunner (for the irony. But also because he's a travelin' dog, just like his master, even if he's carried most of the way)

Pup (Might as well go with simplicity)

"My vote is "bantay" or guard in Filipino. Everyone will be asking why while everyone in the Philippines will be laughing. hehe"

Lupae ("I'll tell you why - Cho is running around w/ a Greek demigod. Lupae was the she-wolf who raised Romulus and Remus. While the pup to be named is a coyote and not a wolf, there is speculation (that I'm sure Cho would know better than I) that the she-wolf may have been either a human named Lupae, a goddess transformed into the wolf, a fox etc. all variations on a theme. The coyote is a surviver (as I hope his pup is!) that does not need to be reintroduced like its larger cousin, here in the USA. Plus, it could be a fun running gag people teasing him that he doesn't know the difference between a wolf and a coyote.")

Ripley

"Verily their be only one name that ye may call thy valiant pooch and it is 'Argos'. Argos was the faithful canine companion of my long departed comrade-in-arms, the brave and wily Odysseus(Ulysses). Odysseus' cunning mind helped bring down the walls of Troy and outsmarted the gods themselves. "

"Now that the dog has a broke back, call him Heath. (Sorry...couldn't resist.)"

Keeping with Greek mythological names:
Sirius
Argos
Orthrus/Orphus
Maera
Anubis

" 'Mr. Fixit' ..........in honor of the Hulk"

Pi. (as in 3.14)

Storm
Smok
Thundar
Ash
Polar
Ling ling
Archimedes
"What about Elpida? simply translated it means "hope" in Greek. Seems like out of anyone, you Cho, need to keep hope. :)"
Ugly
Space (space coyote on the simpsons, homers animal guide, voiced by johnny cash)
El (El Coyote,Cesar de Echague, character by Jose Mallorgui)
GQM-163 (the "coyote" missle, boosted by the "Hercules MK-70" booster)
Smuggler
