I usually let my pets name themselves, for example I have a bllodhound named bashful, because when we first got her she would hide in a corner, and peek aroud from behind her ears to see us.

Give it a one or two syllable name only. Something you can holler easily loudly to call it to you from a distance. And no cutesy names PLEASE! The dog won't know any difference, but anyone hearing you will correctly regard you as a doofus.
