Naming help - SERIOUS replies only

First, no one tell The Queen.

Next, say hello to The Queen's probable Christmas present:

I have posted on here that our Big Girl Zinger died Aug. 23. Full of cancer. I've basically been a wreck since. Next good day I have will be the first since she died. I don't think I'm ready for another dog yet. The Queen says she is and she really wants another pup and a bunch of people have told me to just sack up and get her the dog.
So assuming I give it to her for Christmas, the first thing out of her mouth will be, "Oh, we have to have the perfect name."

Our surviving dog is Zoe. My granddog, living with us, is Dynamite though we call her Mizz (short for Dynamizzle). We've ruled out another Z name. The "working" name is Daisy but my son and I don't much like that.

I'm open to suggestion here. Please don't be a wiseass. I don't have the strength to deal with it. If you have something to offer, please do. If you don't, please don't.

Thanks.

Stan thinks you should name her Stella or Maggie.

I'm terrible at naming pets, but I'll take a stab.

Brownie?
Princess? (since you call your wife Queen)

Yeah, I know. Pretty awful.

Ginger.

View 2 (not safe for work, I guess, given the frontal nudity)

 

[User 1019]

Chloe?

 

[Moderator1]

Keep 'em coming. Eliminating some for good reasons, suggestions are good. Zinger's sister, who lives in the 'hood, is Maggie. Our neighbors have a Ginger. Chloe is one of our late guinea pigs.

Choco (Kinda has the color to pull it off)
Sam (Yeah, I know ... BOOOOO!)

 

[imjustagirl]

Babe.
Precious.


whatever you come up with, that is a gorgeous dog.

 

[Paper Dragon]

Shouldn't the name be the wife's decision, since it's her gift?

Just saying ...

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

Lucky.

 

[playthrough]

Hershey. (Is that a chocolate lab?)

 

[StormSurge]

She's adorable. I'll ask the better half for suggestions later, since she's far more creative than I am.

Guinness
Bella
Dukes :P

What are you looking for? A "traditional" name? Something more unique?

Yes. That's why I said she'll ask - I want to offer her good suggestions. She picks.
She'll come up with zip on her own. You have to know her to understand. We'll give her 4-5 and she'll say what do you like best? It'll go on about an hour. I can't go into it empty handed.

Unique. We had Fibber and Molly (shelties) and then our labs Zinger and Zoe.

[User 1019]

Does she have any personality traits you could pull from?

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Given it's a lab puppy, Ricochet will be fitting.

Great looking pup, by the way.

 

[writing irish]

Hopey.

It's very 2008.

 

[User 1019]

Jingles, since it's an Xmas gift.
