default dbo to object names instead of user name

Several developers have been assigned dbo of a database. Is there a way to
allow all the objects that we create to all have the dbo ownership by
default, rather than our user name?
I'm aware that we could explicitly type ...
create proc dbo.myprocedurename as
but was hoping this could be the default behavior.
Thanks in advance.
MarkMark,
I assume you mean they have been assigned the db_owner role? Only one login can be the dbo user. There is a
difference between dbo and db_owner.
Assuming that the logins have their own user names and are indeed db_owner, then you have to qualify the owner
when you create the object. Only way around is to use sp_addalias, but this will disappear in future and
there's no GUI support for this. Be careful to read in BOL whether it is supported or not.

could you put all those developers into a group on the db server and then have
that group be the dbowner of the db?
