I have yet to meet another dog named Takoda on the forums or IRL. Though most people think she's Dakota and I have to correct them A LOT.
Beau has a common name that was shorten from his uncommon real name which is Mr. Bojangles.
I have a list of names for future dogs and like to keep it a secret

This is how I see it too. I just love a name and find it too good to use - even if it is common for dogs.
Another couple that I would love to use include Gus and Jess/ie. Jessie is an extremely common name for dogs in Australia - it could be elsewhere as well - but I still love it.
I'm not sure if anyone here from Australia remembers the 'Are we there yet?' ad with Gavin the koala? I am always trying to get my friends to name their new pet Gavin, because it's an awesome name and I'm not cruel enough to bestow it on my own pets. In the ad, just the way the mother koala says 'Gavin!' so exasperatedly is so funny and sticks in your head.
My friend has a cat named Kevin, that's pretty close. I think it was named after our former prime minister (as a joke of course).

Oh, even "Trent" seems to be hard for people to understand. My next door neighbors (who see him regularly) spent 3 years thinking that his name was "Prince". They moved away last year and I never ended up correcting them - he could have done worse
I've never been able to introduce Trent without repeating his name or spelling it out.

If if can't tell they have it wrong when introducing them, then I don't usually correct people. Lol. I often have to spell them both though.

I tend to go for human names...but not common human names. Macie, Zander, Dante, Gustav, Eve, Indy....and they all have a catch or a theme. Macie is Macie Arwen (LotR), Zander is Zander Amaroq (roughly translates to wolf man, man of wolves, ect). Eve was Eve Elle (evil) and Indy was Indy Anna (Indiana).
Next puppy we have name chosen, registered name chosen if breeder chooses to use it, but we won't know the catch or theme until we meet her, of course.
