What's in a name

Tonight when I was driving home, the driver in front of me stopped to let a lady cross the street. I could see while she stood on the curb that she had a large white dog on a leash, but when she stepped into the beam of the headlights I saw that she also had a large black dog on a leash. I said to myself, "I wonder if their names are Salt and Pepper?" A moment later, "Whitey and Blackey." And a couple blocks later, "Ebony and Ivory," which made me laugh out loud. I've never been a huge fan of either Michael Jackson or Paul McCartney. I like much of their music, but their public personas don't attract me. Anyway, what would be the perfect names for a pair of large dogs, one white and one black?
