Posting for traffic and because I think you vipers will come up with the best names.

We're getting a male golden lab puppy but CAN we agree on a name!?

Only stipulattion is nothing that sounds like Basil Or Gizmo (cats names), not Disney related, other than that we're pretty open minded!

Photo attached as I hear those are the rules.

Help!!

My Daughter’s Retriever is a Fox Red variety, a very dark Reddish Golden Colour Named Rosie, as in Rosie Red! Her other Dog is a Spaniel called Poppy, which can get confusing at times as it must be one of the most Popular Dog’s Names around!

My old Boxer was called Sasha, l didn’t get to choose it, she was from a Rescue centre, and her Partner in crime was a Labrador cross Staffie called Zoe. We have just been introduced to a friends new Puppy via Webcam, a Mini Dachshund called ‘Sausage’!

I have only ever had one Male Dog in the past and l named him Ben, but l did sometimes get to walk a beautiful Golden Labrador Retriever when l volunteered at the rescue centre, he belonged to another volunteer there, and his name was Barley.

Pete
( amongst other things, you need a short name to get his attention when training)

ineedanewnameplease · 15/05/2021 00:34

Arnie

PixieLaLa · 15/05/2021 00:48

Charles or Jacob Star

Ruthietuthie · 15/05/2021 00:56

From your list, he looks most like a crumpet or a smudge.
I think he looks like an Alexander.

EpitomeOfIndifference · 15/05/2021 02:57

I was going to say Earl! So that. I also like Larry and Nacho.

BitOfAFaff · 15/05/2021 07:16

Well there's a clear solution here. You need two puppies! Nacho and the other Cheese Grin.

Darbs76 · 15/05/2021 07:39

I called my puppy Cooper. Second choice was Austin

Horsemad · 15/05/2021 07:42

Apparently dogs respond better to a name that ends in an 'ee' sound when training, so Sonny, etc.

No idea if this is true, just what someone told me! 😆

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 15/05/2021 07:49

My cat Basil is extremely pissed off because you have 'dissed' his name Grin..

Cute puppy btw - I like 'Monty' from your short list (another cat name).

How about Stanley, Arkwright or Giles?
