Name this puppy......yet another black lab - female..

[Flum]

Coming next week...

I've suggested: Topsy, Bridie, Bess, Nessa, Nell, Dilly etc

He's suggested: Bagheera, Mabel

The kids have suggested: Toffee, Fudge, Sharpay (!), Dory, Peppa,

Any suggestions..... am thinking a non-human name better as less likely to endu up naming her after someones kid or Mother

I love the name Mabel

How about Molly?

Pup?

Raven

aaaaaaah Dory's cute.

Our choice for our female black lab was Poppy, but now I do have friends with DDs with that name (didn't before I chose it!)

We had a mad as a brush springer spaniel called Topsy.

I like Mabel, Bess, Nell.

Ella

Daphne

Mathilda

I like Granny names for dogs.

Give the dog a middle name, and let the DC chose that. DD wanted to call our dog Sparkle so that is her middle name.

Love Mabel!

Isn't there some unwritten rule that labs have to have an 'ee' ending name though?

eg:

Mollie
ellie
Lucy
Polly
Topsy

We are going to call our next puppy 'Pie' as it is our dog's NN. It came about as we were always saying about our leftovers - save them, we'll put them in a pie.

Which will be technically accurate if we call our next dog Pie.

We will use our leftovers as 'Pie' filling

Mmm all four family members that can speak do like Mabel so that is what we are currently agreed on.

Dh and I both really like Bagheera though, Baggy for short, although I did point out that Baggy is a slang for a Johnny in the US

Magic..... (as in Black)

Mmmm Mabee or Mayballee or Waybaloo

Our's is called Coco as dd wanted another to go with it called Pops.

Dixie
Hoover - best dog name I ever heard
Ebony

Hoover is a fab name for a dog.

We have a black named Bess and she is yummy. Very friendly and relaxed.

AS a NN she is Bessie or Bessie Bunting.

Ooh I suggested Dixie

Hoover funny, but rarely got a snigger or a look up from Blackberry Poker.

Oh I knew a lovely Bagheera,she was Baggy for short too.She was a black doberman and the sweetest doggie even though I am not a doberman fan.I like most of your names,not very helpful,sorry!

I think a short name is always best for a dog. We have a black lab called Max, but he was a rescue dog and already had that name. We would have called a brand new one Jed(i).

For a girl black lab how about:
Arka
Belle
Toto
Roo
Joss
Elsa
Shiloh

Nice.

My Labs sisters are called Maggie and Bridget the Midget (runt with the biggest attitude)

Congrats on the new arrival, I'm very jealous! We have black labs too, but in my stupidity I always let DH name the pets, so amongst others we have Milly, Holly, Molly .... see a pattern? T'is very confusing in my house - there is a lot of "Holly, I mean Molly, I mean Milly, oh for f*cks sake!" going on

Our pup's mum was called Sasha which was nice, and I like Poppy too - dog's seem to respond well to that name because it always sounds happy! Izzy is a great name for a black lab, we see one on our walks and it just suits her so well - wish I'd thought of it before letting DH come up with Holly (it wasn't even Christmas, she was born in summer. And when you shout the dog, the cat comes running, and vice-versa. Unfortunately he had done her insurance and registered at the vets before I could change it. Plonker!). We also know labs called Maggie, Nellie, Phoebe and Daisy.

I was going to suggest Mabel! I like your DH's thinking!

I like Sasha but mates dog just died and called that.

I also like Penny but is MILs sister who no longer with us.

No onelike Bagheera then?

What are the dog's parents called......maybe you could take something from that.

I've known a Guinness, Deefer (d for dog - old one now I know, but still quite good), Tetley.

Olihan's black lab is Mabel.

Are there a lot of us with black labs? Maybe we should ask for our own topic

If we hadn't gone for Elsie (old lady name ending with ee [fits rule]) then I was angling for Baggins. I have known a Baggins in the past and I always liked it.
