Tips for naming a wolf or wolf-like dog

Short names work best for dogs — one or two syllables are easy to call (Ash, Luna, Koda).
Look at the coat and eyes. Silver, Storm, Frost, and Shadow suit their colors.
For stories, add meaning. A name that means “wolf” (like Lowell or Phelan) is a nice hidden detail.
