I love them both. Unique names are really cool.

basically keep it short (max two syllables) so the dog can learn its name easily. Also names ending in ee, ie, ay, ey or y, are easier recognised by your dog so try for one of these.

In the herding world, usually a one syllable name is most common so when they are given directions it is fast and easy.... "Jake, Jack, Luke, Babe, Stretch (one of ours). Some times we have named a dog, but as their personality developed another name just seemed more natural. We had a Dusty that ended up being Sissy after the first couple of months (started telling the older male that he needed to be sweet to his new "Sissy").... just stuck. I love hearing all the fancy names they use for show dogs... and at home they are "Joker" or "Puddles"!!!!! My nieces golden retriever was called Napalm... she was so explosive!!!!
