Need help naming a big girl

So, I was supposed to originally be getting a male and for one reason or another that fell through. I had a name all picked out and everything, lol. So, I need some help choosing a name for a big baby (she's the biggest in the litter) classic brindle girl. She turned 3 weeks yesterday, so I only have 5 more weeks to decide, hehe. I am trying to keep it short and not too girly sounding but am open to all suggestions. Thanks a bunch!

Hmmm, a big girl, huh? How about Amazon? You could call her Mazie for short.

Just because she is a big girl NOW doesn't mean she will be big girl once full grown. You might be disappointed if you give her a name based on size only to find out later that she is perfectly within breed standard! Just sayin.

What was the male name that you had picked out?
That might give you a better idea of your personality and choosing something along those lines in a female version would be the best way to go. IMO.

Lol, i just threw "big" in there for descriptive purposes and not to base the name off of....sorry for the confusion.

As far as the male name goes....I had it cut down to three (Guiness, Hunter, and Chase).

Going off the name Chase, you could name her Chazzi. My niece is named Chastity and we call her Chazzi.

Or Guiness, you could use Guinny. I like hunter for boy or girl.

I am always partial to names that no other dog would have. Something unique. A name that can't be mistaken for another. Guinny fits that bill. Full name, Guinessa. I really like that one. Different and unique. And wouldn't sound silly if a man was calling her name either. LOL Nothing funnier than a big, burly man calling for "Fluffy" or "Bubbles" LOL

I noticed you liked guinness, which is Irish, so how about something Irish, there's a good page here Category:Irish feminine given names - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia with lots of girl names. You might find something a bit different there.

I like the name Athena, but my cousin stole it for his female boxer! And he did get his first.

So I named mine Harley Girl - but I only say the "girl" part when I am doing an introduction cause most people assume she's a male. Even just looking at her everyone thinks she's a male.
