Name for Golden Retriever

Soon I’ll be bringing home my new baby girl! She’s an English Golden Retriever. This is her:

And she will look a little something like this when she’s all grown up:

Really struggling for a name! Her personality is well rounded, she’s very outgoing, loves children, loves to snuggle and very smart. For what it’s worth, I’m hoping to train her up as a therapy and/or search and rescue dog when she’s older.

Only names we kinda like right now are Scully and Sylvie. If I hadn’t already had a late pet called Zelda, I would name her Zelda in a heart beat.

I don’t want a typical “dog name” if I can help it, so avoiding names like Bella or Luna or Daisy for example. But still something that’s easy to say, between 2-3 syllables. I’d like something spunky and sweet

Congrats on the new addition. She is a beautiful dog.

Lol omg my dog is a medical alert service animal. His first name rhymes with Mardigras and his middle name is [name_m]Valentino[/name_m]. We call him [name_f]Indi[/name_f] but he responds to his full name too…more so when he’s doing something naughty. He also responds to [name_f]Mystery[/name_f], [name_f]Baba[/name_f], IndiPaws (3yo cousin thought that was his name and it stuck…and is also where Ba came from), Pagras and a few others. But for the most part, he is [name_f]Indi[/name_f] when he works.his mom was a [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and his dad is [name_m]Charlie[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

Now, i always think [name_f]English[/name_f] Retreivers (mine is [name_f]Golden[/name_f] mix), look like puff balls or clouds so I’d be tempted to name her Nibus or maybe Aviano.
