Help. I’m getting a puppy for my niece, she’s 20 months old (1yr and a half) and I’m looking for a name for the puppy

Question

Hi, I hope this is ok to post here. I want to gift my niece a puppy, I already have the parents permission, I’m gonna get the puppy next month and I’m looking for a name; my niece is deaf and she’s learning asl already and she’s doing amazing, and her parents want to get her a dog to help her. My boyfriend and I are trying to figure out a short, pretty name for her that can be easy for my niece. I will take the puppy to her forever home at the end of the year when she’s fully trained and understands asl. She’s an Old English Sheepdog that was born on December 20th of 2018. So far we have : Rosie (which is the one I like the most), Oreo and Breeze (this one being the only one with an actual sign as far as I know, correct me if I’m wrong please) Thank you for you time and help(:

Answer 1

There is a sign for "ROSE" if you would like to simply name her Rose. It's an easy enough sign for toddlers to do, although they might not do the "R" handshape perfectly at first. Even if it takes them a little while to get the handshape down, a two-finger tap on each side of the nose would be easy to recognize as the dog's name by the whole family.
