Suggestions for female puppy names that are not too common

can anyone suggest some female puppy/dog names. Going to meet a puppy tomorrow, hoping to be ours. I have a name I love which is
Nyla, but DP isn’t really a fan, I’m working on it but in case he completely vetoes it I need some other suggestions. Nothing super popular like Bella, luna etc. my current dog is called ruby so that’s out the question aswell. I like the name Millie as well. I always struggle with girls names.

Yzma , you won’t find another .

Joni, Nanci, Rue, Rula, as 'name' names. Since she's a Lab, what about nature names? Bramble, Ash, Mari(gold), Otter, (and Rue again!)

Think about what is easy to shout, and the diminutives it gives you (obviously, "little shit" during the teen years goes without saying 😉

Don't call a dog:
Beach
Fetch
Pitch
Ferrero Rocher

Toblerone would be a nice name for a chocolate lab. Tobi for short.
Or Roche, short for Rocher (and famously a saint's dog).

Clover or Hazel.

Dog not rabbit

Treacle.

Treacle Tart = Sweetheart.

Then if you get another golden lab to keep chocolate lab company they can be Custard.

Rhubarb is lovely name too.

Oh heck, I didn't think of that!

Will have to be Crumble then to go with the fictitious future golden lab companion Custard that I'm saddling OP with.

Kickinthenostalgia · 27/04/2026 22:36

So we came home with her today and collectively everyone decided on Millie 😁

Only one name for a chocolate lab - Mocha.

365GelatoDaysAYear · 27/04/2026 22:55

Welcome Millie 😍🥰

TheBeaTgoeson1 · 27/04/2026 23:33

Poppy

Go for a ‘P’ name, it’s a good first letter sound for recall.

AlwaysRightISwear · 28/04/2026 08:18

Perhaps we could see a picture of the lovely Millie?

I once went to a dog training session that had two Rhubarbs, a Bluebell and a Ruby. I'm not sure who was more confused, the dogs or the people.

Aw Millie is a great name! Bet she’s adorable. 🐶
