Boy/girl Irish Wolfhound pups need names!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], nameberries!
We have about 6 weeks till our new human baby arrives, but are taking a break from human names to kick around names for the new puppies we have coming in a few days!

They are a brother-sister pair of Irish Wolfhound/Lab pups. The boy is black with brown socks, and the girl is black with brown tips - sort of brindle colored - with a white patch on her chest. They will eventually be gigantic, shaggy beasts. They have a very laid back, mellow temperament, despite their size.

It would be great to have the perfect pair of names for them. Our older cockapoo, [name_f]Ginger[/name_f], was originally named to go with her brother, [name_m]Fred[/name_m], as hubby and I are ballroom dance teachers. :slight_smile: After [name_m]Fred[/name_m] met with an untimely demise, we adopted a pair of wolfhound/labs and named them Gilligan and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f], to still go with [name_f]Ginger[/name_f]. We were thinking we might do additional spice names this time, to go with [name_f]Ginger[/name_f] another way, but having a bit of a hard time finding ones we like for this dog breed. It may be enough to keep these ones named separately, as a pair, or just a good non-pair combo.

Names we have been considering, so far:
Spice-related -
Sassafras (nn Sassy) for girl, who is a sassy pup
Truffle for boy - very sweet and gentle, but my parents hate it cuz it sounds too little for such a big brute
Licorice - boy
Espresso - boy
Chocolate bark - boy

Pairs:
Heffalump and Woozle
Shrek and [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] (I like, kids hate)
[name_m]Tarzan[/name_m] & [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
Bullwinkle (would prob stick with Sassy for the girl if we used this, as my parents have a [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] dog, mini schnauzer)
[name_m]Donnie[/name_m] and [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_m]Othello[/name_m] and [name_f]Desdemona[/name_f] (love the play, but prob too serious for these dogs)
[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] and [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] (but don’t really want them named after criminals)

What do you like/suggest???
We have until Thursday to get the names nailed down, and would love any feedback or suggestions.
Thanks so much!

I think Heffalump and Woozle would be adorable! :slight_smile: or [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] & [name_m]Clyde[/name_m]

I love [name_m]Tarzan[/name_m] & [name_f]Jane[/name_f]! <3

I also love Licorice or Espresso for the boy.

Hey! [name_m]Just[/name_m] checking back in. Thanks for the votes! I like all your ideas, but as I’m not the only voter in my family, we ended up with Sassafras (Sassy) and Bullwinkle (Bully). The names fit them. She wants to coax everyone to play, and we’re trying to train him to be less pushy. He seems to want alpha status. :wink: So much for the names all going together with [name_f]Ginger[/name_f], but oh, well. Whatcha gonna do? Blessings to all,
