Ben is almost 3 yrs old, and he has been allowed to sleep in bed with us since he was about a year old. One thing...he will not jump on the bed with me unless invited (when I'm not home, and he's all by himself, I know he's up there!). Same goes for the sofa. He will also get off the bed or sofa when told.
I think as long as the dog know not to get up on the bed unless invited, and will get off when told, you should be OK. Let him settle at his own pace - don't force him to do anything (except go potty outside!! :D ), and always praise him when he does good!
As for names...have a list of names at the ready - you'll be looking at him one day and a name will pop into your head as the perfect one! Good luck!!
