I read that you should choose a name that has 2 syllables for your dog. While they can tell the difference between different words they mostly recognize syllables - most commands are 1 syllable, "come", "sit", "stay", etc. so it can be harder for them to learn the commands if their name is also 1 syllable. Dogs also have short attention spans so anything more than 2 syllables is too long. This is just what I read in a puppy training book.
When I first got my Pug couldn't think of a name for her and I started calling her "Daphne" the first day but it just didn't seem to fit her. The next morning I woke up and it just came to me - "Lou-Anne", it totally suits her.
I picture a male boxer and what he will look like fully grown and of the names you listed I like Casey.
Hopefully a name will come to you soon that fits your new baby! (Rocky, Bowser...)

We aquired a boxer whos name was Marvin. The boxer is a great breed with lots of character and energy. They really do become a big part of the family. Out of the names you have on the list I think Duke is the best as it is a good strong name. Sorry but I think the other names sound a bit girlie!

I think Casey is a good name. I like 2 syllables at least, I think they respond better.
If you need more ideas, you can look up the origins of the Boxer too.

I used to know a boxer named "Cassius." He passed away, but it was the most perfect name for that dog. He was named after "Cassius Clay" AKA Mohamad Ali. It's a great name...."Cassius" pronounced "Cashis." Good luck!

Call him Jude if he is brindle, Duke if he is tan and white, Casanova if he is a solid color.
