Utter Vanity Request - Help Me Name My New Puppy

Vanity of vanities . . .
I put a deposit down today on a female Black Labrador Retriever, born 8/16. She'll be ready to come home in October. So now I've got to figure out a name for this little bundle of joy.
She's coming from Wisconsin, from Candlewood Kennels which is arguably the best field trial kennel in the country. She's not a typical field trial dog, she has some "dual purpose" (i.e. show and hunt test) on her mom's side. Her mom is a fully trained hunting dog who has produced good field dogs.
The tradition is to somehow combine the names of the father and mother. Of course her prefix has to be Candlewood. The sire is FC/AFC The Man In Black ("Cash"), who is by 2xNAFC/2xCNAFC Ebonstar Lean Mac (a top producing sire - 117 field champions) out of Gator Point's Sweet Potato Pie, a CFTC/CAFTC Pachanga Magnum Force daughter out of a HRCH. The dam is Kerrybrook Candlewood Connor, who is by Ch. Franklin's Champagne out of Kerrybrook's March to the Sea JH. That side has notable FC/AFC Webshire's Honest Abe, another very good field trial sire, and Abercrombie & Fitch MH, who is a sire not only of field dogs but also numerous seeing eye dogs and search and rescue dogs. Two of his get were S&R dogs at the Twin Towers. So she should have plenty of brains, and plenty of "go". Because of the show background she should be a pretty girl as well.
The obvious way to go is a Johnny Cash song . . . friend of mine suggested "A Dog Named Sue" . . . we could easily tie in her mom's name with an "O'Connor" . . . but I'm kind of looking for something cute and a little unusual.
I figured I could get both out of the dog fanciers at FR . . . the floor is open for nominations.

Already taken.
A guy in my agility club has a pure black Lab named Spot. He explains that she doesn't HAVE a spot - she IS a spot.

I thought Cleopatra was Aegypta . . .
. . . besides, my first dog has already been bitten by a snake, I don't want to ASK for it . . .

What a hoot! I like it . . . but somebody might think I support you-know-who, the junior senator from the People's republic of MA . . .

Scout- after the little girl in "To Kill a Mockingbird." It's literary, not overused and easy to shout.
