We are hopefully getting a Labrador puppy around Easter time. It will be black or brown, male or female as we haven't stipulated a preference.

It's a way off but move had a shit evening so need some cheering up.

Names in the offing so far.....

Boys:
Buzz
Eddie
Rodney

Girls:
Jem
Emmie

Any thoughts on these names and suggestions for others would be graciously received.

We’re on the waiting list for a puppy (should be in the summer all being well). We’ve got Milo for a boy, Meg or Chloe for a girl so far. Not sure that I like any of them now I’ve written them down Confused not helpful sorry!

Very exciting! DH claims I have odd taste in dog names (he lies!) but most of his come from Batman/DC Grin. I would suggest:

Female names:

Briar
Seren
Sadie
Nissa
Merri
Maren

Male:

Rhubarb
Ras (as in Raa Al Ghul, DH suggested this for PolePup Grin)
Tiska
Maric
Cain
Artie

My two previous dogs (Great Pyrs) were Victor and Logan (RIP Sad) their names - DH`s suggestions Hmm Grin. Current PoleDog and PolePup have more run of the mill names!

BaconAndAvocado · 08/01/2021 22:35

Thanks all, some great names there!

We also like Bertie for a boy.

I don`t live in the UK anymore, but my grandmother used to call a vagina a tuppence, might be a regional thing though?

4Mongrels · 08/01/2021 22:40

I love Basil.

ruthieness · 08/01/2021 22:41

nero or hiro!

PoleToPole · 08/01/2021 22:41

What about Niles, Marty or Maris, can you tell what I`m watching? Grin

PoleToPole · 08/01/2021 22:41

Daphne is lovely too!

Ooo I am sat here snuggling my 13 week old baby lab, she's just the best (when not in full on demon dog mode)

You haven't asked but I have found the Dog Training Advice and Support Facebook group brilliant for help. It isn't a discussion group, there are units of information you read and the puppy unit has proved invaluable help so far.

There are 6 of us with our own choices of names so to make sure it was fair we drew the name out of a hat.

I liked:

Mary
Ethel (I can't help it, a dog named Ethel amuses me)
Delilah
Star

The names in the hat that i can remember were:

Rosie
Mary
Tulip
Willow

NotYour your pooch is divine and thank you for putting in so much effort thinking of a name for our pup-to-be.

Out of the above me and DD like Ethel (Ettie), Rosie, Rolo, Elsie.

Thanks also for the Facebook recommendation.

I once knew a Lab called Jem. Very sweet dog but as thick as mince.

Hubert? Hattie? Violet?

TimeforLaChange · 09/01/2021 06:56

Bobby

Bobbie for a girl

BaconAndAvocado · 09/01/2021 09:03

I do like Bobby but our friend’s son has the same name.

Getting 4 people to agree on a name is extremely difficult too. I might have to make an executive decision as I’ll be spending the most time with him/her.

DD thinks Sally is a hilarious name for a dog, I’m not sure why.
I quite like it.
