As title, FOUR weeks I've had her and I can't find the perfect name! Panic really starting to set in now, so please, any good name ideas!?!

I've thought of so many and don't like them for one reason or another, currently there's:

Ditto (I have another of the same breed already)
Echo
Sequel
Florrie (Florence)
Abi
Hen/Hennie (Henrietta)
B/Bea (Beatrice)

And so many others I can't even remember them all! Nothing seems quite right...

She's a Lagotto Romagnolo, brown and white, ideally I plan on doing agility with her like my other one. They're Italian gundogs so something Italian maybe. I'd really like something that's unusual as a dog name.

Thanks for any ideas, I've reached breaking point on this! Four weeks and no name it's unspeakably bad, poor, poor puppy. And it's not for lack of thinking, I feel like I rarely think of anything else recently, maybe that's exactly the problem...
 
Photos to aid naming or perhaps as incentive!

I like Takara I just can't think what to shorten it to... Taki sounds like Tacky! and Cara could be difficult when other dog is called Dora

Greatly appreciating the help so far, thank you all!

I'm guessing from the coat that these dogs like water?


Tarka (like the otter in the book and film) would be a great name, very similar to her breed name but a bit shorter.
 
The Lagotto isn't used as a gun dog but rather a hunter of truffles.
We are seeing quite a few now in the rescues too,and they make excellent companion dogs as they are so biddable and intelligent.
the curly coat isn't clipped but rather scissored twice yearly ( according to the purists) and is very easy care.
I love these dogs,especially their Amber eyes which seem to see right into you.
Florence ,Flo,Flossie...I like that .
Also Viola , Chiara,Chloe,Luna,Bella,Sienna....?
 
The chicken at my livery yard is called Florence - she is AWESOME, so I think it would be a great name :) I never knew chickens had such cool personalities :)
 
I had a dog called Zecca, which means Tic in Italian. The only problem with a foreign word for a name is that nobody can pronounce it. Vets receptionists used to call out all sorts of things, I had to change the spelling to Zaiker.
