British Dog names?

Hello

We adopted a 3 yr old. Norfolk/yorkshire terrier mix yesterday, and he still has no name! Since they originate from England, we'd like to stay with a British name if possible. We were going to go with Berkley, but it sounds too much like Brocoli, and its too hard for my kids to say.

So, a good solid noble sounding british dog name? Anyone?

    I'm doing basic obedience right now. My trainer hasn't once handled my dog. He has shown me how to handle my dog by using his own dog but that's about it. The reasoning is that I need to learn how to do these basic corrections and what not myself. Learn more https://tinyurl.im/50ktZ

    I have never considered sending my dog away for training. I guess I haven't found that much of a problem with him to even think about it.

    Again, it may also have to do with the level of training you are looking for etc. No idea lol. I'm not a trainer. I think a first time dog owner needs to learn simple commands and how to handle their dog themselves as well.
