New Labrador puppy name suggestions please

We've chosen our new puppy today and he's absolutely gorgeous. We've been trying to get a rescue dog for a couple of years but none have been suitable for children under 14 in our local area (up to a couple of hours drive), and we have an 11 year old. So we're getting a puppy. We've done due diligence, the breeder is a friend of a friend, we've met the mother with the pups (she's very placid and well loved), etc.

So here he is. He's 5 weeks old right now and will be coming home to us on the bank holiday weekend. Dd1 is going to be at home with him for the first few weeks, then I'll be at home over the summer holidays (I'm a teacher), and we've got a doggy daycare lined up for September when we're all hopefully at work/school.

So name suggestions are welcome. The four of us are finding it difficult to agree on something we all likeGrin. It's more difficult than choosing a child's name!!!

I know male labs called Donut, Disco, Simon, Comet and Whisky.

Any of those?

Thehawki · 09/05/2021 18:37

Zeus, Hades, Astro, Rocket, Juno, Orion, Leo, Thor?

I actually know children called Sky and Star, so they're out as dog names.
The rest of the names are now on the list of possibles.

Dd2 says Sirius is a name for a black dog not a red dog.

Apart from being known as the Dog Star, some ancient observers called it the Red Star.

I think he looks like a Barney! Or something beginning with B. He's so cute.

Dodger! ( I have no idea why I just think it suits him)

Twospaniels · 09/05/2021 20:47

My friend has a red lab called Geoffrey 😁

I like Cosmo too.

My dogs have all had ‘people names’.

My problem with "people names" is that I know so many people that I'm bound to know someone with the same name. Or a kid with that name will appear in one of my classes next year. Our ndn have a dog with the same name as their dd's best friend and I hear "girl Lexie, do this" then "dog Lexie go to bed". I'd rather avoid that if I can.

I think Comet and Cosmo we're the golden retrievers on Full and Fuller House weren't they. I like both those names. On the Harry Potter theme we met a lab just like yours at puppy class yesterday called Draco.

ErrolTheDragon · 10/05/2021 07:41

Draco? I'd have thought that would be a name for a reptile or possibly a ferret.Grin

Try and think how the name would sound when you call your dog, in the park. It’s said that dogs can hear names with two syllables best.

There’s a dog called Artemis where we go, it sounds ridiculous when she calls it; too much of a mouthful.

I'm not sure that 'puppy who fell asleep on DD' and 'god of war' quite go together.Grin

You've definitely got everyone catered for. And yet, surprisingly, they've all turned their noses up at that Hmm

Is a dog called 'Mars' a Mars rover?
