TrooperThorn
Super Boxer
My Husband and I are very proud of the name we came up with for our boxer boy; "Trooper Thorn".
One of our favority movies is "The Quiet Man", where John Wayne plays a man named Sean Thornton who returns to Ireland when his boxing days are over in America. His boxing nickname? Trooper Thorn!
If we had gotten a girl, she would have been named "Dagny".
One last name, I know it sounds silly, but we passed by a steet sign the day before we picked up Trooper Thorn from the shelter. We ALMOSt named him after the sign; "Bufflehead". It just sounded distinct and playful.
Other random Manly names
Gable
Coburn
Pacino
Cooper
Bogart
Heston
Bryner
Brando
Dreyfus
Burton
Cagney
Can you tell I'm a Hollywood Fan?

Names always reflect the personalities of the pups, it seems.
My dad named his mastiff Prozac, and he is definitely an anti-depressent.
I once met a woman who named her two Dobermans Felony and Justice.
If you plan on having more pups, you might try a theme like that or something.

Some more names,
Roscoe, to me, connotates a tough guy, kind of feisty.
Atilla, Khan, Alexander and Hannibal, famous conquerors of history,
Nero - bloodthirsty Roman Caesar,
The ever popular Spike,
Rajah - majestic Indian ruler
Bagheera, the black panther from the Jungle Book
Once you see your pup and get to know his personality, you will have an easier time picking out a name.

I think I like names that complement the traits and characteristics of the breed. Boxers are wild and crazy, boisterous, comical, loveable, yet also bold, fearless, tough, and all muscle.
I chose to name my current Boxer for the comical side of his nature - Bing.
Also for males, I like the names Kojack, Scooby, Ruffus, Chico, and Snoop. You could also go the ancient history notables route, ie Ceasar, Zeus, Homer, Tut, Orion, Moses, etc.
For females I like Tia, Layla, Delores ( yes, Delores
), Sheba or Shena, and Chakka ( prounounced ShawKa as in Chakka Kahn, or also ChalkA like chalk).
One thing to note, the name should be short and simple so your dog easily learns his own name.

Completely Boxer Crazy
A friend just told me about their former cat, with the unfortunate name "Number 45" - they lived in Chinatown. :D
For boxer boys I like Pete, Biggs, Tiny, or Fluffy...and of course my Titus (Tie), and our current foster is Oz - we've also had a Mitch, Toby, Rocky, Willy...
For boxer girls I like Greta, Molly, Penny, Maggie, Lucy, Anya...and my Xena, plus we had a Tessa foster once...
