Remmy is a boy's name or a ghetto ass name thanks to the Remmy boys.
Kyrie or Xena Gemma I'm gonna immediately think you're a fucking idiot if I meet you at a bar.
Sadie is super fucking overused these days.
You're left with Gracie and Maggie and we all know Maggie is way cuter. Maggs, Maggiepoo, Maggpie, Magoogoo, Maggiewaggies, etc.
Dubs and name it Vordt of the Boreal Valley
Mathilda.
Nice, I've got a GSP and she's full of energy even after 6 years... hope you like exercising a lot, because these dogs NEED it, and not just a walk around the block. Work on her leash skills (heeling) and recall ASAP.
Name her Delilah or Goose.

If dubs, Sadie. That's a sensible doggo name

Maggie sounds fine. Is she a bird dog or a pet? Just curious.
Remmy sounds good
OP here...Maggie it is! She is going to be a helluva bird dog so Maggie (magnum) has some hunter vibe to it..

What age did she start bursting with energy? The pup is chill but granted shes only 8 weeks and sleeps all day

It feels like she always had energy; I can't remember her puppy days to be honest.
However, many GSP puppies are rehomed or "up for sale" at 6 months because that's about the time unprepared owners realize they can't handle the dog they bought.
I made a lot of mistakes with my dog, so I mean it when I say start leash training ASAP. My dog is great and I love her, but it's still a constant battle taking her for a walk on leash. It's not fun and it's my fault for not starting training until much later and not be consistent enough.
Also, practice recall, because they often work on long leads and you want to be able to call them back if their prey drive/nose kicks in and there are cars nearby, or whatever other scenario. My emergency recall is a whistle; I blow it once and she gets a piece of meat or cheese when she returns, every time. She does a 180 when I blow the whistle and kicks rocks or earth up, it's impressive.
I grew up with a lot of animals but she was my first dog on my own. Unless you are used to this or similar breeds or confident in your abilities, I'd really recommend going to a trainer early on. And you MUST exercise these dogs, more than just a good run on the weekend. It's not fair to such a great breed to not get good off-leash exercise and you can run into behavioral problems if they are bored. And work their brains too, look into doing dummy work and similar things like that, not just throwing a ball and creating and obsessive-compulsive dog.
They are great dogs but mine is still a lot of work! She's definitely on the extreme end in terms of stubbornness, energy level, etc. I skijor with her and even took up cani-cross to keep her happy. We hike a lot and she's great swimming or in a canoe.
Next time I'll get a male though,
