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

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
