Everytime we get a new pet we have to make a trip to the liquor store.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

My black labs name is Hawg, he is actually Hawg the third. My yellows name is beezy.
Wanted to name her phat. So I would have phat and Hawg, but that was a no go with the kids. My lab when I was a kid was named Diogee (dog). I prefer single syllable names for dogs.sometimes I think having your pup for a week or two before naming them is a good plan,figure out their personality. That's how Hawg 1 got his name, he ate everything including the tops off all my wife's flowers. Have fun with it.

My dog is a chocolate lab and I named him Decoy. When I first got him I called him Dekes, but now that is just his signal to retrieve.

We had a list of names on our way to pick up our little golden, once we met her, a completely different name, not on the list, popped up.  That's how Amber got her name.  I really think you need to meet the pup before assigning it a name.   :twocents:

Dogs growing up and now have always had single syllable names or short abbreviated nicknames for the field. I agree with letting them be at home for a week and then choose a name. Growing up we had one German Shorthair we ended naming RJFA. Running jumping fing around. Or RJ in the field. Good luck with the new pup.

Last dog I named- i named after a redhead I used to know. When people asked Why I had a dog named Rachel- I would tell them that I wanted to name her after one of the most destructive forces in the universe- a redhead.. but the truth is I just wanted to name her after someone who was friendly to EVERYBODY..

First saw my English Setter in his litter on a July 4th. Named that dog "Boomer".
We had an Australian Shepherd who we named "Sydney" after the Australian city and because it sounded cool. Just got another Aussie pup and decided to name him "Wiley". Sorta reminds me of "Wiley Coyote".

Best dog I've ever had was named Magnum. Big Chocolate lab that lived to hunt.

Always wanted to get a pair of labs and name one Harley and the other Davidson.

What I would really like is to do is get a  black lab and name him Obama. After hunting him hard all day I would return home and demand that he donate half his food to less fortunate dogs that lay around all day long.  and when he gets sick I would take him to the worst vet I can find that charges twice what a good vet charges :chuckle:
