Name ideas for my new baby?

I’m SO excited to be adopting my new poodle in the near few weeks! She’s absolutely darling. I’d lOVE your guys’ suggestions!

I really love classic old school names. I’m a dog groomer and pet salon owner so I meet a lot of fun names. Names of dogs that I have as clients include Dorothy, Loretta, Pearl etc. (I’m not using any of those).

My current dog is name starts with an ‘L’. I don’t mind the idea of matching names!

Any advice when hiring? (Especially from bathers, apprentices, students, clients, other groomers and salon owners)

TLDR: What are some good questions to ask potential bathers, apprentices, groomers, and receptionists? Any advice on what information I should offer up?

Context: My two amazing groomers and helpers are leaving me here soon to pursue other avenues in life. Fair enough. I have two people I’m interviewing for a job position tomorrow. It’s my first time hiring anyone new in almost a year. Both the gals I’m interviewing are for apprenticeship and bather positions. Both of the gals I’m interviewing are in their very early 20s.

One is a recent cosmetology school grad and currently has a HUGE English bull dog. That’s about all I know about her.

The second is the granddaughter of one of my clients who recently went through a VERY difficult situation that I will not elaborate on. She’s in enrolled in online classes and wants to pursue a career with animals. Her grandparents told me that she is very shy and wouldn’t do well in a highly customer interaction driven field.

I need to potentially bring on 2 people. I won’t have more than 5-10 minutes per interview. Should I record the interviews? Obviously I’d ask them if that was ok.

I’m a young dog groomer and relatively new business owner so I’d really love any and all advice. Thanks!
