What can I name my Australian Shepherd?

Question

I would like suggestions. I am getting a male Australian Shepherd (blue merle) in 3 weeks. So far the family has had a tough time agreeing on a name. Here are a few of my suggestions:

Balendin (healthy, strong)

Raoul (fearless advisor, agile wolf)

Toshiro (talented, intelligent)

Dakota (friend, ally)

Sam (asked of God)

Please suggest any cool names with nice meanings. Note that Aussies are not from Australia, but the USA. And I am planning to use this dog in agility competitions.

Answer 1

I like Toshiro out of those options for a future agility dogs

Here are some others, I choose names that mean strengh versus intelligence and speed because all the border collies on the course will be fast and smart, aussies however are also strong.

Balin-powerful and Strong

Ahlert-noble and strong

Brian- Noble, Strong, virtuous

Amero- strong
