Question Help naming a flashy brindle boy

Hello we just brought home a beautiful 19 week old brindle boy last night (already with the name Zeus was told that was a nickname for him) he doesn't seem to respond to it and we don't think it suits him. at the moment he is shy and quiet I am sure he is still just getting used to us and missing his family though. We can't seem to some up with the right name for him any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. here are some that my 8 yr old twins girls have come up with Hitch, Charlie, Bailey and Mac. We have a 5 month old boxer named Mugsy also. I will try to post a few pictures as so as I figure out how...lol

Mugsy always reminds me of a gangster's name, so how about Capone?

I love the name Mudge for a brindle boy. Mugsy and Mudge

I think Charlie would be cute or what Gatorblu picked Capone I really like that one.

I think Mac and Mugsy sound nice together. I could see that name morphing into Macsy, though.

As common as the name Rocky is for a Boxer, in this case it would a reference to the old Looney Tunes cartoons, not Sylvester Stallone.

Otherwise, I like Malone to go with Mugsy, too.

+1 for "Mugsy and Malone".

update on name

Thank you all for the name ideas My girls still can't agree on one...lol We have another day or so to make it finale because my new baby is at the vet he seems to have an upset stomach from the long trip here and the vet seems to think that he might also be having a reaction to the rabies shot he was given on the day they shipped him out...Spoke to the vet a little while ago and he is doing well I can't wait to have my baby home to give him lots of love ...feel free to keep the idea's coming they are welcomed...Thanks again
