Congrats on the new Westie. I grew up with two of them: Bonnie was one and the other was named Fitz/Fitzie (Fitzpatrick MacDougal was his AKC name). As you already know, they're very loving dogs with HUGE personalities. I have a friend with two Westies named Lizzie and Franny. I like both of those names for a Westie.
BTW, my dream dog is a female Scottie that I plan to name Stella (don't ask me why).

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

As a ex-dog trainer I know from experience - try and find a short easy name for your dog. There is a funny commercial on TV right now where the man comes in and calls this long abnoxious name out for his dog and the dog of course does not answer. Try to keep it no longer than 2 syllables or make sure you have a good nick name (which will become the dogs name anyway so just go there).
I have a friend who named his dog something like SirHighland of WestPort and it's now down to "Meat Tube" or "Meat" for short (yes it is a weiner dog). Keep it simple...
For Westies I do like Molly... something that sounds Scottish like maybe Kirsty, Aila, Artis, Netta, Torra or Skena.BCIpam - Nature Girl

DH thought of Soleil (say it so-lay), which means sun. Very bright, very cheerful, and fits with your nick, hellosunshine, don't you think?

back on topic: what about Tina (after Tina Turner) who survived and thrived despite a history of abuse. Not to mention, Tina has a bundle of energy like your new family member.
