That is a great name for a dog.
When my ex and Second Son, who was about five at the time, brought home Beau*, our Lab who was part of the family for a long, long time, there was a discussion about whether or not to change his name.
(Beau was a previously owned used dog.)
Second Son decided that “Fido” would be a good name. This led to a long discussion between the two of them about how Beau was used to his name and probably wouldn’t respond well to a new one . . . .
A short video about the snow here, with a little commercial at the beginning:

*Actually, he was a black Lab with a heart as big as the Pacific Ocean and a brain as big as a button, except when stealing cheeseburgers.
As far as the previous owners were concerned, his name was “Bo,” for “Mr. Bojangles.” Ex and I both thought that was racist beyond disgust.
We didn’t change the name, but did change the spelling.
Words matter.
