So what is your names shortlist? Knowing full-well it’ll probably end up something totally different 
Ugh...almost nothing! Boy names are so much better for dogs!
Our criteria is something that sounds good with Quinn and is in the same ballpark (unisex, not too human but not too "doggy" - does that even exist!) Some that are under discussion
- Beckley "Beck" (a place we traveled through our last pre-covid trip)
- Rosie (a family name);
- Jersey (place name where my mom grew up);
- Chloe (we think it sounds good with Quinn)
- Xanthe (means golden)
- Emry (some sports related thing)
- Clementine "Clem"
- Piper
- Primrose "Prim" - upon testing, seems way too close to Quinn

Xanthe or Chloe gets it for me! Or maybe Clem (Clemmie)
Ha, I thought the exact opposite when we were looking for a name for Bear! I'd probably recommended something quite phonically different from Quinn, maybe two syllables.
I like Clem or Clemmie. Rory could work?
I love Rowan too.
I love Rowan too.I'm not sure if this helps at all, but I've been rereading some old posts from when Bear was a puppy, particularly related to managing relationship with an existing older dog, there's some good advice on here from other forum members (it's a bit selfish as they were my threads so I remember them, sorry

)Puppies and an older dog
I'm struggling a little bit with the interaction between Monty and Bear the puppy. At first all seemed really good, he was so keen to play with puppy and it seems very appropriate, not at all aggressive , and not too full on. However in the last few days there are a few cracks appearing...

I thought my dog was well trained before puppy
So before Bear arrived, I would have said Monty was at least averagely well trained. Decent recall, walks ok, doesn't run off, good body language, rarely jumps up, ignores people on walks, scavenges just occasionally, trusted to not ruin the house and has free run of it. But barks a bit, and...

May I formally submit my fave girl name for a dog: Saoirse ("SEER-sha"). For my fosters, I've had an Emma and a Molly. My fave on your list is Chloe.

Oh! Clemmie! I really like Clemmie too!I like Rosie, a solid name! Also Clem, is very good but would turn into Clemmie.... (Think Churchill
Beck would become Beckie I think?
Robyn?

I love Rory!! The pups mom is named Aurora so it’s actually a neat tributeI like Clem or Clemmie. Rory could work?
OH axed Irish names he can’t pronounceMay I formally submit my fave girl name for a dog: Saoirse ("SEER-sha"). For my fosters, I've had an Emma and a Molly. My fave on your list is Chloe.
We were in a battle over Molly - his brother won and is naming his yellow pup Molly (only 10 days apart in age!)

Fair enough. Though it's easy to pronounce, it's the spelling that will get you. That's one of the things I like about it.OH axed Irish names he can’t pronounce

How about:
Aspen
Briar
Eden (Eddie for a nickname)
Nova

Piper here too. That fits well with Quinn and no 'sounds like' effect.
