Looking for ideas for a good dog name

A 9 week-old Miniature Schnauzer joined our household yesterday!

We have been wracking our brains trying to find the perfect dog name. At this point we are seriously overthinking this,

We have been referring to him as Johann Doe, but the poor guy seriously needs a real name!

Looking forward to reading your ideas!

    I've found it best to do nothing about a name for awhile.
    The right name will come to you.

    ^Now that there's funny!

    Congrats to you and your new dog! How about naming him "Dietz" or "Dutch"?

    It would be easier to suggest a name if you posted his photo.

    Congratulations!! Personally, I have never been able to choose a name for man, nor beast-letting other's have the task. I'm never one to use anyone's given name, everyone gets a nickname! I'm sure you'll get many suggestion!
