I can't figure out how to load pics (do I have to shutterfly and html in? don't want to mess with that). Please check out the pup in my profile pic. I think we'll be bringing her home tomorrow. She is a standard poodle, but will be kept somewhat shaggy in a "teddy" cut, not shaved, and will be training as a hunting retriever. I am a little lost for a name. I feel like she needs something strong and maybe more masculine because she'll be hunting with my husband, and feel that he won't want to be calling a super girly name. I had always like Priam for a dog name, but doesn't work for a female. Any suggestions? She's got a great mellow personality. She's creamy white with a bit of brown on her ears and a black nose.

Edit:
I suggested Artemis, which my husband hated. The list is now very masculine and word namey.
Flint
Sabre
Bay (I liked this, as in Laurel leaf, but also makes me think of a baying dog, though poodles aren't exactly known for their baying...)
Bryony and call her Bry
Zephyr
Avis
Mica
Quartz
Nova
Luna
Vega
Atlas
Jonquil

My husband likes Zephyr and Sabre, and of those, I like Zephyr.

Another edit: Ovis is now in the lead. My husband said she's colored like an Ovis Dall sheep, and I like Ovis much more than Zephyr.
