Hope these help, at least as inspiration. It depends a lot on your shepherd's personality. If you want to go goth with his/her name, the 1st link below has a list of common Gothic names from the Middle Ages. There are some unusual ones in there, that might help. The 2nd link has a list of names of German origin with their meanings, since he's a "German" shepherd. :)

How about going for it's dominant feature or action and the putting it through a traslator? For example shadow in German is Schatten. That way you could even give your dog a cute name, but no one would know!

Male: Zeus or Achilles (Killer for short)
Female: Mindy (I know, cute, but I like that name for a female dog) or Katrinka (my aunt had a black german shepherd with this name and it was cool because it was different)

Shadow is a good one, although it is pretty common. Bear is also good. You could go with something more powerful like Spartacus or Brute. Personally I think Max is great for black dogs.

Well it depends on if its a male or female. Here are some names I hope they help...
vulcan, ares, zeus, (male)
helios this name could probably be used for male or female.
Nuka, (both) Zera(female).
You could also see how the dogs act, what is it's likes and dislikes
Things like that, that's how I named my dog, I couldn't think for the life of me what to call him, so I had in the fridge a bottle of yukon Jack, I let him sniff it and he was sneezing like crazy and that is how I come up with his name(yukon jack)
