A sturdy, proper doggy name for a chocolate lab puppy, please.

[Devonshire]

we are getting him in a few weeks - any ideas?
i like real solid names as this little fella is going to be big and chunky when he grows up!
i'm not really keen on the "chocolate" names like "cadbury" etc but prefer scottish/celtic names like hamish, brodie, angus for example.
i also like the idea of a possibly foreign word that refers to his colour, like "bruno".
any suggestions welcome!!

Ggirl, I've always wanted a cat called Rover! Pulled back when we got ours as the previous owner had already inflicted a joke name on her, poor thing.

auntymandy, have you got low blood sugar, you seem to be on sweetie/food theme!

cat called rover...brilliant

Bracken?
Fergus?

macdog - you sound like the perfect persn for this thread!!

there'a site here that has dog names/meanings. Good for a giggle.
Can't really see myself shouting 'Acapulco! Down!' across a crowded park

thanks macdog, good site. i like the name Asa too now! (but acapulco not so much..!)

well it is chocolate!

Higgins
Bruin
Leroy
Duncan
Stuart

What about Phydeaux (it's all in the spelling, dahling)!!!

dh says what about glacial features
Tarn
Corrie

Terminal Moraine !! (only joking on the last one, of course!)

Low blood sugar kicking in now.
All this talk of chocolate......

What about Keith? (Yes, I am serious)

Benson

Marley?

Monty. Been suggested a few times already.
I know you weren't keen on the chocolate reference names but montezuma's is nice chocolate.

this list sounds like the class list from dd2s private prep

Jupiter

Rory
Chester
Toby
Bear
Ted

Ralph is a great name for a dog - it means wolf!

DH reckons go for french tree names !!
Marron - Horse Chestnut (Mah-rhon)
Chataigner - Sweet Chestnut (Sha-tay-nay)
Chene - Oak (Sh-enn)

Alternatively, maybe Teak, Umber, Treacle (maybe a bit girly for a boy), Coffee, Mocha, Bruges, Swiss, Thornton, .....

He's really insisting I suggest ChoccaMocca and Pooh , sorry !!!!

I wish he wasn't watching over my shoulder as he's not stopping suggesting things now

Our DD has had her first chocolate tonight, so looks rather like a chocolate lab herself LOL so maybe Alex !!!!
