What's a fun name for an energetic black lab?

I got a new dog. He's a two-year-old lab mix that's energetic and sweet. I like names from mythology, books, movies, etc. Right now, we're running with the name Apollo, but I'm not sold on it. Any ideas?

    That's a good one. I caught this last night and pitched it to the fam- we're trying it on along with some others to see how it suits him. Thanks!

    Dionysus was a great hedonist and lover of fun.
    Odysseus for a brave adventurer who loves the sea.
    Jason for his leadership of the Argonauts.
    Paris for his beauty, beloved of Aphrodite.
    Kuon Khryseos (the Golden Dog) was a dog sent by Rhea to guard the infant god Zeus and his nurse, the goat Amaltheia, on the island of Krete (Crete). When Zeus reached maturity he placed the dog amongst the stars as the constellation Canis Major.

    Cerberus, the pet of Pluto.
    Deimos and Phobos, the dogs of Ares.

    My brother and sister-in-law had a black lab named "cinder" for the color of the cinders! 
    I wonder if that is where they came up with her name.  I'll have to ask them the next time we get together.
    What a hoot! :) :) This post was edited by Merlin at August 7, 2019 11:22 PM MDT

    I think those are actually the children of Ares and Aphrodite. Demios and Phobos- gods of fear and loss. Catchy though. 

    My daughter suggested Cerberus yesterday. I don't know why, but we didn't stick with it long. Might be worth tossing back into the mix. 

    Thank you. :)

    Fear and Panic, they took canine form in battle. At least they did in the mythology I've read.
