I am getting my puppy in a few weeks- as of right now I don't know whether it will be a boy or a girl- most likely a boy…I also don't know the color:
I am between two names for sure: so help me pick
Aspen or Oakley (Oki for short)

suki was home with me for a couple days just being called 'dog' or 'puppy' or 'wee beast' until i could decide on a name that suited her. you might have a few names on a list, and then just wait and see.

All 4 of my basenjis have call names that are related to their registered names. Maybe the registered name you or the breeder comes up with will help with the call name.
Mine:
Bejeweled (registered) = Ruby (call)
Genesis Sui = Brando
Chosen One = Aaliyah
Black Sabbath = Ozzy -

I like Oakley. And if you shortened it to Oki, that's cute too. If you are thinking "tree" names, there's always Willow, etc.

I'm partial to Oakley. Makes me think of Okey-Dokey, Okilly-Dokilly. I'll stop there. :)

Aspen makes me think of timidity - Oakley sounds nice. Me, I'd wait until I had the puppy - I find that they 'tell' you their names.

I agree, I wait to be around a pup for a bit and then often pick a name that ties to the registered name;
FoPaw's Designated Driver "Sober"
FoPaw's Little Bit of Luck "Clover"
FoPaw's Oh My God "Odin"
FoPaw's Makes U Wonder "Stevie"
FoPaw's Lead Singer "Diva"
there are many more but these are a couple that come to mind, owners have picked similar matches. Jordan Reed has chosen some very clever names as well.
Atarasi D'Lucks Edition "Eddie" (Clover's brother)
Atarasi About Face "Sarge"
Atarasi All About Me "Mimi"
I love playing with names like this. I like Oakley myself but I think you'll be surprised to know exactly what his name is when you get him home.
Good luck with the new baby.
