Maltichon - HELP US PICK A NAME!

After reading over 30 of your posts, I am convinced that the Maltichon is the right dog for us! We had a very bad experience with our last dog. I take full responsibility. I jumped and took a dog from a friend who had gotten divorced and couldn't keep it.
Chico was an American Eskimo and was one year old. He was ok, at first but then I started noticing that he was aggressive toward other people's children. It got worse and worse. He even got agressive with my husband. I was so afraid of that dog! I have NEVER been afraid of dogs until......Chico. We got him neutered.....nothing changed.....It was hard making the decision to get rid of him, I felt a sense of responsibility. I cared for the dog, even though he had snapped at my daughter, frightened countless guests to our home, and killed my bunny. And did he have the most annoying high pitched bark!!!!!! We tried so hard to find a home for him. For months.....I knew he could be a good pet for someone, just not us. I really felt bad for him. The kids and I were so afraid of him, we didn't want to be anywhere near him. He didn't deserve that. That is why we brought him to a local no kill shelter. It was very sad. Daddy took him. He even admited getting a little teary eyed and Daddy doesn't cry! I am still afraid of dogs. But I want to get over my fear and I don't want my girls to be afraid of dogs any longer either.
We have breeder friends who generously offered to give us one of their Malchicons as a gift. I have been researching all night. Read a lot of articles on websites, but it was the personal notes from actual owners that convinced me this is truly a special breed of dog. It is with high hopes that we will go and pick out our female Malchicon tomorrow! Any suggestions for a name?!
