Thumbs up Need Help Picking A Name

We just put down a deposit for our 2nd GSD from the same breeder. Same mother of Alice but different Father. We decided on a male but we can't decide on a name. We have our top 6, let us know which one you like the most.

I think Xander sound best with Alice. Alice and Xander. Sounds nice! The names that end in an "s" sound don't sound as good with Alice to me, but individually I like all the names.

My vote went to Loki. Sounds sweet and easy to pronounce.

I like the name Logan and it was on the list for my dog. However when he came home he was not a Logan. I can't name my dogs before I get to know them a couple of days and see how they are.

Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away.

Thanks to everyone who voted, but oddly after looking into the names a bit more. We decided to go with Miles. After looking up the names as far as origins and meaning Miles and Alice kind of go hand and hand with the breed.

"Alice" is of Old German origins, meaning noble, exalted.

"Miles" is of Old German origins, meaning soldier, merciful, and eager to please.
