I like the name NENETTE which has an interesting GSD history.

CPL Lee Duncan found a litter of GSD puppies in a bombed out kennel in France during WWI. He took a male and female while other soliders took the dam and the remainder of the litter back to their camp. Duncan named the male Rin Tin Tin and the female Nenette. After the war he took both pups back to the US. Unfortunately Nenette died from distemper shortly after arriving in NY while her brother went on to become one of the most famous GSDs in the world.
