I always wait a bit and watch for a personality or quirk to develop and go from there.

I got my dog from the humane society...I laid down with her on my floor and pet her...and kept asking her "What is your name"?
After about 30 minutes I heard "My name is LADY papa".
I said out loud "LADY"...and she looked at me with eyes the size of dinner plates and I heard "YOU HEARD ME"???
I said out loud "Yes LADY...I heard you".
Her tail went THUMP THUMP THUMP against the floor.

"Giving" a dog a name is a problem for me. My first adopted dog had a name that he was given by his owner from puppyhood, so no problem. My second adopted dog had a name that was given to her by the shelter, so we know it was not really her name, if she ever had one. She really answered to any name -- once she started to dash into the street and I hollered at her, using my old dog's name out of habit, and she responded just fine.
My third dog, adopted, was surrendered by a family that had her for several years, so the name really was her name.
It's a puzzling business. If we could see animals as they live in their wild lives, why would we assume they had words with with which to represent each other?

I personally think you should let your son name her. It can take a few tries before you find one that sticks.

He's 33. He's got a beagle named Copper and is former military. Just any cute name for a girl pup that is Christmasy. He has NO idea I'm doing this. Every time I ask him what he wants, he always tells me "nothing".

If it's a boy, it's Elmer

That's the goal, to let him name her, but I know my kid and he's going to ask me for suggestions. LOL
