Cinder Dog, I go along with Dad on 'Smokey' as the top name for Stray Dog. Fills all bills:
. Goes with Cinder
. Spelling is good: 'smokey' is a REAL word...dunno about 'smokie'
. Good for yelling
. Lends itself to being varied just for fun...like 'Smoke', 'The Big Smoke', 'Smokes'
. Has a theme song, 'On Top of Old Smokey'...you can sing to your new brother, Cinder.
Yes, my final vote goes to 'Smokey'. But you & Dad might like to keep thinking & trying other names out. The final name has got to work for you!
