Huckleberry or Sprocket? (photo included....)

[BlackbirdSingsInTheDeadOfNight]

So we haven't chosen our pup yet and don't mind if it's a boy or girl, but will be going ahead in the next couple of weeks. It will definitely be a Labrador.

Thoughts on Huckleberry and Sprocket please? Do they work well for both boys and girls or are they more 'boy' names? (I love Sprocket, named after the dog in Fraggle Rock, but Huckleberry is a close contender also.) DS2 is insistent on naming the poor thing Dogzilla!

Any other suggestions? We have two boys (humans, not dogs!) so never used our girl names - think very traditional, classic names. But DH doesn't really want a dog named Alice!

Cow! Genius name. We have a cat called Moomin (she is a large white blob). No dog yet but getting excited about the impending arrival!

You can't call a Labrador Huckleberry. A Labrador is not a Hound.

Humphrey is a nice, solid Labrador name, especially if they tend towards being a little portly.

Zara, Hugo and Douglas are also good names for labs. Favour Sprocket, but that's because she's my favourite Skylander ...

I rather, to my surprise, like Sprocket. Sprocket and Huck , yeah go for it.

Ooh I didn't know that Sprocket is also a Skylander! Hmmm. That might at least steer DS2's attention away from Dogzilla....

Yes we've thought of Humphrey too - fab name for a dog. Also Barney, but a local friend has a labradoodle called Barney so the name is taken!

We are off to see a bundle of teenytiny pups tomorrow, and hopefully Sprocket/Huckleberry/Humphrey/Alice/Daisy/Dora will be one of them!

Give a dog a dog name. Don't be cruel and give it a human name.

Dogzilla is a great name.

Sprocket is good too.

Huckleberry is a child's name. Don't do it!

Huckleberry is a child's name.

No, it really isn't.

I know a lady Labrador called Berry , it really suits her . I think Dylan is a good name for a boy Labrador .
