Need name suggestions for a yellow lab to go with the old people's home feel of the rest of the menagerie!

[Olihan]

We currently have Dot and Bert the cats and Mabel the black lab.

I want an old lady name for the new puppy but can't come up with anything as pretty as Mabel!

DH likes Betty but I'm not 100% sure.

Give me ideas, please!

queenie is fab! wanted to call our puppy this but was not allowed by dss...

clara
gladys
dora
maisie
lettice
edna
rita

Another vote for Florence (favourite and much loved 94 year old great aunt)

Winifred

Olive

Gertrude

Gwendoline

Gladys, Ethel or Phyllis get my vote.

We were going to call our guineas gladys and mabel if we had got girls! I thought the suggestion of hetty was gorgeous

Sunshine

Sunny?

Margot?

I had a look in the Baby Name Finder - selecting a pest control officer who likes Hobnobs: its best suggestion was Aggie.

Also: Jeanie, Clarrie, Cora, Gertie, Jilly, Gilda, Freda, Flossie, Enid, Persis, Posy, Thelma, Dorcas, Sybil, Tilly, Vera, Wanda, Nora, Lottie, Kizzy, Wendy, Brenda

We had Bella which was nice but not sure it would go along with Mabel. We also had Bert.

Elsie. I like Elsie.

as you know Olihan my lab is Elsie.

I won't mind if you use it, although it might make our dog walk in Delamere (if we ever get round to organising it) interesting!

The name Enid just gives me a big smile on my face, I can picture a lab called Enid.

awwww i like Betty, am just sat with DS watching 3 wishes and Patrick Swayze's dog in it is called Betty Jane - I like Peggy though too

or nancy?

Decided????

Do tell!

Elsie or Elsa.

I like both those names for a yellow lab.

I like Maude.

Gertie or Nellie get my vote

OK, thanks for all the suggestions. After much arguing consideration the shortlist is down to:

DH Betty or Doris

DCs Winnie (DH 99% a no, though)

Me: Elsie or Bunty

Can we have your votes please, because DH and I will never settle it between us!

Beryl, Derdrie or Molly?

I really like Doris and Elsie (but not Bunty or Winnie)

Bunty or Betty.

Winnie, to me and for a dog, is short for either Winnie the Pooh or Winston.

It's got to be Elsie hasn't it

Slubber, I know, everyone in RL says Elsie too .

It's a perfect lab name AND it goes with Mabel.

Was browsing old doghouse threads yesterday and saw your posts about doing gundog style training with E, is she responding well to it?

Mabel and Elsie go so well together that I just may have to get another lab just so I can have the same combo .

tbh Elsie responds well to any training involving the clicker, liver cake and the new most holiest of holies .... The Kong Wubba.

I'm very attracted to some aspects of the gun dog training that involve control, concentration and obedience from a distance, and anything that involves lobbing things into water. The books scare me a bit though as they seem to be written by gruff men who probably shout a lot.

I really should get my act in gear and sign up for some classes as at the moment it's me reading bits and bobs and then having a stab at it myself...with varying degrees of success

When are you getting your Elsie new lab? How exciting. We must do Delamere at some point.
