Not so much your girl ones.

And @Myshinynewname2021’s Mabel and Olive.

What about :
Juno
Maggie
Pearl

Loving Rufus.

golddust DH was definitely last to the Puppy Quest party but he’s finally on board!

Gus.

Purdey for a girl.
Hector for a boy.

Dogs tend to respond better to names with two syllables. They're not short enough to be confused for a ‘sit, come, stay’ etc.

I have an Eddie

So if you were calling pup to come back in a park ‘Edddd- deee’ rather than ‘Ed’ ....they should respond better to Eddie (hopefully)

Purdue and Hector are fab.

Yes it would be Eddie rather than Ed.

For a boy Reggie For a girl Sable after a very loved girl.

Glad you like them purdey, is a brand of gun, very appropriate for a gun dog.

Midge I also love

I love Reggie but DH not keen because of the Krays 😀

We have had our little male black lab puppy for 2 weeks. Our list was

Louis
Monty
Buddy
Digby
Ozzy
George
Hartley

In the end we ignored them all, and called him Russell

I’m on a few dog groups on Facebook and can not believe the number of Olives and Mabels. I suspect people think they’re being original, but there’s obviously been a trend of old lady dog names that has made those 2 names very common

Our black lab cross had a lovely ripple down her back so we called her Ripple! She brought her name with her. Just remember whatever you name your pup you may be calling it loudly in public at a mad dashing puppy so make sure they will be able to hear it clearly - the 2 syllable tip is a good one.

Edna, Nelson, Potter, Agatha.

A friend had a lab called Badger. I love that.
