My suggestions:
Bonnie (a black lab could be Bonnie Blue)
Scarlett (may be a bit trite, though)
Mellie
Scout (her "formal" name could be Jean Louise)
Eugenia
Eudora
Flannery
Sugar (or Shug)
Magnolia (call her Maggie for short, and get double points for the Tennessee Williams reference)
Tallulah
Beulah
Annabell
Liddie
Libba
Delta
Suellen
Sidie
Raney
If you want a Steel Magnolia's reference, Truvy, Clairee, Ouiser, M'Lynn or Annelle are all good choices.
If you really want to push the envelope, you could name her Varina.  (BTW, it's pronounced Va-REE-na )
Can you tell I like names with a literary or historical connection?
I reckon I'll think of more later on. |
Not to be disappointed! I had seriously considered Magnolia, Sugar, Delta, Annabelle, Scarlett, and Varina, too. But once I saw my mother's name as a dog's name, I got a bit uppity! Jasmine, Shelby, Maybelle, and Velvet would be good, too. Not knowing the breed doesn't help, though.
