Help Name Our Fawn Female

We will be picking up our baby girl on October 25th, I know we have a lot of time to pick a name, but I would love suggestions and opinions!

So far we have-

Zoey- Husband favorite!
Stella
Lexus
Lexi

What are your opinions on these names?

Do you have any other suggestions?

Here's a couple of pictures of her... only 2 weeks old! (says 3 weeks, typo)

I like Stella. Have always wanted to name a girl that. Grandson named Riley and wouldn't go for Stella. But, I love it.

After looking at your pictures, especially the second one. How about Pumpkin?

I love it! Pumpkin! Could nickname Kinny!

(Read somewhere that dogs respond positively to words and sounds that end in a vowel. Try it. It's harder to make a word/command that ends in a constanent sound happy. Ones with a vowel naturally sound happy.)

Stella is an awesome name!

Isn't Stella also the name of the skunk in Over The Hedge -- the one that has a makeover to fake out the snooty cat? I think that character, played by Wanda Sikes (sp?), is fantastic.

We named our female Bridgette. I wanted "Gidget" from the T.V. series but the kids voted me down. Since getting her, we've now watched all the Gidget shows and the kids use Gidget as a nickname, too. Also love the rhyming potential as in "Snidget," "Widget," etc.

Back to Stella, though. I've heard that dogs love the "t" sound and Stella has that!

Have fun with your new baby.
