Naming my girl.

Taking a census. I just got a 3 year old dark brown Chessie from a reputable breeder that raises show dogs. She is show dog quality but smaller than the standard. Her name is Harper but I have a beagle named Harper. My Chessie doesn’t respond to her name so I’m going to change it today before she goes to the vet. Here are a few options. I love Bruna which fits her chocolate coat and her Beauty but I am having a hard time remembering it. Maybe because I have never heard that name before? I liked Darla but my adult daughter doesn’t think it fit. She suggested Veda from the movie “my girl”. Her amber eyes really stand out with her chocolate coat. Not sure if coco is an option. Other suggestions are welcome.
Please let me know if you prefer one of these names over the other. FYI we had the best Chessie named Banks that past last December at the age of 12. Thank you all😊

Advise on potty training/training in general.

Hi all, we have a 21 week old chessie named Rosie that we’ve had since she was 15 weeks and man is she living up to her stubborn reputation. She is having some sort of potty training regression and it’s driving me crazy. Especially at night. She woke me up 3x last night. I took her outside and she’d just lay down out there. We live in a bear heavy area so I don’t like to linger for too terribly long. I give her about 15 minutes, trying to walk her around the yard saying go potty etc and then she’ll come in and I’ll find pee puddles in the morning. I just don’t understand. She’s become very restless at night and wanders around the room even though I run her all day and before bed (playing fetch, my son playing with her) lots of outside time. She also outright refuses her crate at night, barking, crying and screaming until she is let out. I tried for about an hour one night before I couldn’t take it anymore. I also have a 4 year old and 1 year old and my 1 year old sleeps through the night about 50% of the time so safe to say I’m struggling and don’t know what to do. She’s a sweet girl, but soooo stubborn which I obviously knew going into this but mannnnn. It’s hard. If anyone has ANY advice I’ll take it!! I’m desperate. Pic so you can see her annoying cuteness hahaha
