Lab puppy is joining our family very soon. Amid much excitement there is some real sibling warfare concern about picking a name.

I stupidly said the 5 of us would all have to like the name the go with. BIG MISTAKE. There appears to be no such name

DH and I have decided to just announce it as a fait accompli once we find one we like but we would love some inspiration.

He's a fairly pale yellow lab.

Thanks

Winston is a good one. Can't go with Ralph - not been able to deal with the name Ralph since reading the Judy Blume book with the boy who calls his willy by that name in about 1988.

Cooper and Dexter both got 4 votes and they were on my list

It's got so aggro I think we need something no one has thought of!

Unusual names very welcome!

I have no idea why. But I love giving animals human names. Never fails to make me smile. Call the new pup Gary, Norman or frank x

I knew a Chocolate called Braken, funnily enough it did pop in to my head before Champers tabula.

I'll add Gordon. Once had a cat called Gordon & he was ace.

*Bracken, phone corrected it to broken which I badly corrected again Blush

Some great suggestions.

Current faves are Mitch and Oswald (Ozzy for short).

We'll probably need to get him home before a final decision.

Thanks all!
