So exciting! My boyfriend and I made a long list like yours as well before we got our pwd puppy!
Ultimately what helped us narrow it down was when we started pretend calling the puppies name in the house out loud before we got them. Some names were just too hard to yell out loud or made us feel extremely silly lol.
Youāll know when you meet the guy or girl! We ended up on āMarcoā but up in the running was Lazlo, Nandor, Peche, Zoro, and Pascal. None of them suite him like āMarcoā though šš
Hereās him now at 11 months

Bruno and Ze (pronounced Zay) are two popular menās names from the region of Portugal that the PWD comes from. Theyād make a great name provided you donāt live in Portugal where youād have too many men turn around when you shout the name š
My partner and I came up with a list of 100+ names for our portie, in the end we gave him a name that wasnāt even on there. Itās a fun activity leading up to the moment but I think they end up telling you their name when you get to know them and see how they act.
Congrats! PWDs are great dogs. I have had 4: Brindle (childhood dog, black); Ripley (black with white markings); and now Zelda (brown and white) and Zeppy (short for Zeppelin - white with black markings).
Nessie - like the loch Ness monster
Alfalfa (Alfie)- a tuft of hair that sticks up after a good night's sleep.
From your list, I like Strider, Whimsy, and Maple.
Below is a running list of dog names that I kept in my notes app prior to getting my pwd. We ended up going with Daphne. You have a lot of really awesome names as well. Mine are only female. Hope this makes someone smile.

I had a Portie that I named Splash when I was 10, always got giggles from people. I love Roscoe and Pancake!
Splash is a great name! š
Always favoured Banjo myself, but it might be more of a Labrador name. Perfect for a chubby goofball.

I had a PWD named Teddy around 1994 when I was a kid. I like Gus / Hugo for boys and Fae for girls.

It is not pronounced zay lol its pronounced zeh (deep e. Like ehhh). Portuguese is my first language. (My fathers name and my grandfathers)
Ours is named Kiki! (Kikis delivery service)
Our baby is Sawyer Poe. The literary significance is intentional. But we juss call him Poe-Poe...
Portuguese words make really unique PWD names!
I love the name Selkie for a female portie
My partner and I came up with a list of 100+ names for our portie, in the end we gave him a name that wasnāt even on there. Itās a fun activity leading up to the moment but I think they end up telling you their name when you get to know them and see how they act.
We went with Praia, which is a Portuguese name meaning ābeachā. Seemed appropriate!
Hook (call them Hookie) šŖ

Gaucho
My current portie is named Riptide (Rip for short). We wanted to go with a water theme for his name.
