We've decided on Yuki, which can be either a male or female name. It means 'happiness' or 'snow'. We almost went with Kuma, which means 'bear' but that only lasted a day until we came back to Yuki. I'm tempted to think of it as a derivation of Yukio (snow boy) as in Yukio Mishima, but he's got nothing in common with Mishima.
Stacy has got him to sit for treats already. He's still biting us like crazy and puppy teeth are sharp. We've found some essential oils like peppermint and tea tree quells the biting. Working on that housebreaking. He poops right after he eats so it's meals then walkies. He pees a lot, not very much, but a lot. We decided to keep him in the kitchen and north chamber (and the backyard pen) until he gets a better handle on the peeing.
He loves tug of war. I've made him a knotted rope and we've been playing a lot. It's very fun because he's puppy clumsy, but he's learning quick.
