Amia--it means love.
Jamille--it means beautiful. You could pronounce it Ja mia or Ha mia or Jamille
Ella-- means Beautiful Fairy

I like names that have a meaning, so that would be how I would name her.

Another thing I do is that I choose a name I like. Then I sit with the puppy, and I say, "Would you like to be called Amia?" If the dog turns her head away as if saying, "That's disgusting!," I just think she doesn't like the name. If she turns her head and wiggles or cuddles up to me, that means she likes it. If she jumps at you, licks you, dances around, that means that's the one she wants.

When I have allowed my dogs to choose their names this way, I find they immediately respond to the name, and they always come joyfully. A baby person can't respond much to a name that we might name the baby, but a puppy has been responding for weeks, and I just feel that they have a right to have a say what they will be called for the years to come. I also find that a name they agree to be called is usually one that makes them happy to respond to, and I like a happy response when I called the puppy.
