Not quite baby names!

I know I'm probably pushing my luck but I need help naming my recently born litter of labrador puppies and I've lurked on this board for long enough to know that there are often brilliant suggestions here.

There are eight puppies, five boys and three girls and they all need naming. The names cannot be longer than 16 characters and are usually based on the same theme for each litter. These aren't usually the names they're known by - they are their official, registered names.

I have thought about using the virtue names but am open to suggestions

I like types of duck. That'd be quite fitting.

Alita - yes, they will have two names.

The first name is my kennel name, and is the reason there are only 16 letters left to play with.

We have a beautiful golden retriever who we named Montgomery (never Monty). His brothers were named Paddington and Bentley (we don't own nor did we name the latter two).

My nan has pedigree dogs and she was explaining this to me once- don't they have two names? Is the second dictated by one of the parents?

Have you got any themes you like?
