Any name suggestions for new puppy?

Hello Ladies,

I need some suggestion on naming my new puppy. I've had her for a little over 2 weeks and she still doesn't have a name.  She was my early wedding present from my fiance. She's a Shiloh Shepherd and she will be a very big doggie when she's grown. I'm looking for a name like Dakota, Sierra or Cheyenne but something less common. Or anything exotic and unique sounding. Any ideas? TIA





UPDATE: I forgot to tell you ladies, we finally picked a name for her. This is Maya. 
And this is what she looks like now.

    Acadia?  You could call her Cady?
    Denali?

    Those are both National Parks.  Acadia is in Maine, Denali in Alaska.

    My neighbors had a dog named Nikita and they called her Nikki for short.  I liked that.  I think it's a Russian name?

    Oooo, Nikita is a good one. The problem is seeing if my fiance likes it too. So far most of the ones I've chosen he doesn't like.

    Keep those names coming!

    Meeka? Neeko?

    DH said 'moon unit' or 'Moon shine'. . but he's being dumb at the moment.

    We suck at naming things. Our cat (the only pet we actually got to name) is named Gir. . sooooo  :o)

    She's beautiful though!

    So did one of my coworkers. She's always asking, "So how is little Shiloh doing?"

    My FI is a bit of a redneck, so ours is named Gauge - like the shot gun.  We also considered Remy, Winnie and Stella - we weren't sure of the sex before we got him.  My FI really wanted to be able to yell 'STELLLLLAAAA" when he was calling the dog in.  

    I like Neeko.  And Nikita is nice too.

    We have a Border Collie and her name is Cheyene. Of course that would be the name I would suggest to you :)

    She is very adorable!

    NcsuPsych - She will weigh at least 110lbs when she's full grown and be at least 27" tall at her shoulders. Her dad is 32". So, she will be a big girl. She's only 10 weeks and weighs almost 20 lbs.

    I don't know if you're anything like me, but my pets never end up with the names I initially intended.  For instance, my cat's "official" name is Oliver, but we just call him Gray.  (which has turned into Grabies, then Rabies, and sometimes just Ray)

    No, she doesn't have a name yet. We almost agreed on one this weekend but then I backed out becuase I wasn't sure I really wanted that to be her name.
