 Names
Since all of my Shelties were adopted from shelters/rescues, they already came with a name.
However, you might try looking at baby name web sites, or looking for sites about famous dogs and their nicknames (names used for purebreds outside of their official registered title with kennel clubs).
One dog I had as a teenager, a black Lab/Irish Setter mix, was named after a famous athlete, Gordie Howe. And since you know the nationality of the dog, you could look at Gaelic names, first and last. Maybe you have a favorite singer or group, the possibilities are endless. Make a list and try them out, pretending your calling for your dog using different names.
And, don't forget that once you've given your new dog a name, if, like most of us dog lovers, you'll give him/her numerous nicknames, which he/she will learn to associate with when you use them.
Hope this is helpful.
