Stalemate over what to call our new dog

We are getting a Chocolate Labrador puppy in 4 weeks. We met the breeder yesterday and picked out our gorgeous little girl puppy. Our issue is what to call her. She is our first family pet.
The kids love the name Moona, I love Maggie and DH loves Maple. Any views on these names or how we can break the deadlock?

At the very least she needs a middle name or surname.

My husband wants a chocolate lab next. I think we'll probably use a chocolate name so:
Hershey
Aero
Flake
Wispa
Bounty
Crunchie
Twix
Roll
But not Wonka

TimeWastingButFun · 16/07/2020 16:24

Rolo not roll

Tlollj · 16/07/2020 16:25

Well I think it needs to be a chocolate name. Rolo bounty galaxy.
Middle name definitely needs one and then surname.
Bounty Mabel surname.
She’s gorgeous.

I let the children name our pets. So we have SadFace and BlackSmall the cats.

That aside (when they were older they also named our dog), I would go with the children's suggestion.

Borderstotheleftofme · 17/07/2020 23:12

I’d call her Moona Maggie Maple!
Moona for short.

Though I have tbh and say I actually hate all three names, sorry! 🤷‍♀️

DonttouchthatLarry · 17/07/2020 23:23

My friend has a chocolate lab called Maisie

OneMoreLight · 17/07/2020 23:39

The only one I don't like is Moona.

wetotter · 17/07/2020 23:44

Not Moona (sorry kids)

It sounds exactly like Mooner, and you'll be seeing enough of your dog's arse that you really won't want a bottomy name.

I's go for Maggie-Moo Hershey Maple Cruncher

Day-to-day name Damned Mutt

Spidey66 · 17/07/2020 23:49

She’s gorgeous!

Definitely Maggie but im biased, I’ve got a Maggie. I think it’s a great doggy name.

Spidey66 · 17/07/2020 23:52

Actually I like the idea of calling her after a chocolate bar and think Wispa’s cute

TheVanguardSix · 17/07/2020 23:53

Maggie for sure.

Maisie, Molly, Margot, Marcy, Mandy, Mindy, Maddy, Maude, Mavis,
Mitzi, Minou, Meg

Polkadotties · 17/07/2020 23:56

Definitely not Moona.
Maggie or Mabel if you want it to begin with M

DCIHoops · 18/07/2020 00:07

What a gorgeous puppy! Have to disagree with the names suggested - that puppy is crying out to be named “Jelly”

dotty12345 · 18/07/2020 01:04

I had a rescue choc lab called Coco, she ended up being called Margaret Brown, Maggie for short.

TerribleCustomerCervix · 18/07/2020 01:24

Maggie by about 100 miles.

Maple is crap.

She also looks like a Sadie though.

AuntieAl · 18/07/2020 10:30

Moogie is a cute compromise

TreatMeNice · 19/07/2020 18:42

Maggie May Stewart, Trixie haven't a clue where that name came from.
