Good Dog Names
 
Our family just got a yellow lab
without a name....
We are trying to find a good name for him
He is very energetic outside but mellow indoors.
His paws are the size of computer mouses.
Very good dog overall.
So u got any good names?

The name game was terrible with our new pup. It took 5 weeks. We did a contest on facebook with our 4 favorite names and finally a few days before we picked her up we came up with a different name. maxi. Funny thing is, it took longer to name her than our kids. lol

2 Samuel 22:35 03-22-2010 06:57 AM

Ya we overruled Judah were still on the search for names

genesis27:3 03-22-2010 07:26 AM

JUDAH!!! Are you kidding?!!! I gave you 20 awesome hunting dog names and you come up with..... JUDAH!! Well at least you gotta dog ( with a pitiful name ). Look fwd to seein pics.

Judah...atleast you used an 'h' instead of an 's'. :)

You could name him after a US gun manf like Remmington, Winchester, Ruger
After a state: Utah, Missouri, Dakota, Alaska, etc.
Two letter acrynom: MC (hammer), JC (Jesus Christ), MJ (Micheal Jordon), etc

Personally, I don't like to call a dog by another species. I mean would you call your dog 'Cat'? My dog's name on paper is Kimbu Wind'em Kelly (kennel's name, line, name that started with 'K' ). She's tri-colored but mostly black spots so common name is Pepper. But the name that suits her is 'Financial Deficit'.

When we first got our Springer 7 years ago, he was 11 months old and came with the name Pete. The first few times I took him into the woods he would range 50-75 yds away. A man and his son, who also had a Springer in their truck, asked if I hunted him. I said No, but said he would go afield in the Fall. They asked what his range was. I told them 50-75 yds and they said he was definitely a ranger. They asked his name and I told them it was Pete. They went to the dog and said "Are you a ranger, Pete"? I was very suprised when the exact same thing happened less than a week later. Again, a man and his wife, who also had a Springer, asked if he hunted yet and what his name was. And again, they went to the dog and asked "Are you a ranger, Pete"?

Well, you probably know where this story is going. When we filled out his AKC registration papers years ago his name officially became Ranger Pete. Honey's (after my wife's nickname) Ranger Pete to be exact.
Sometimes ya just never know.....

2 Samuel 22:35 03-23-2010 02:21 PM

I wish i could have the final say when it comes to choosing a name
But i found out one of the important lessons of life
"It is impossible to argue with a female about a dog name"
LOL

Mite 03-23-2010 11:57 PM

So, Judah it is! :)

A yellow lab, huh? well, so much for a nice simple name like Joe, Pete, Fred or Dick. Or even Jake, or Ben, or Rex.

You can't really resort to the old Steven Wright standard and name your dog "Stay", either. "Paws" might be good, but then the dog would have to figure out you don't mean "pause", which is close to "stay" and you'd wind up with a mess.

If you're going to have a retriever, a single syllable name works best when sending him; it just sounds so much more authoritative. i.e. "Jude" rather than "Judah". But either way, a lot of people, especially women, are going to automatically think you're saying "Judy" and will think he's a she.

I've always been partial to names with some amount of whimsy, like "Bark" or "Speak" or the aforementioned "Stay". Something tells me, those won't fly in your house.

In the end, you're going to wind up losing anyhow, so just go ahead and give in to the wife.

I used to have dog named Traz (Short for Alcatraz) becasue he the pattern on his head had two big spots that went down from the top down to his body on each side, and there was lone spot sitting in between and it reminded me of San Fran. Bay and Alcatraz so I named him that. I miss that dog...

gonewest 03-25-2010 05:33 PM

I always like the name Buck short for buckshot or just plain Duke

Grant Luer 03-25-2010 05:45 PM

I thought Angus would be sweet

I came by a 4 year old Golden.....on a Sunday....I called it Domingo....she answered readily so we modified it to Dominga....
She has answered to Minga for over a year now......totally mellow, kinda like a shadow.

BruceW63 03-26-2010 03:50 PM

Sam, I'm noticing a pattern here. Judah... Asher....

Please don't tell us your wife's going to want him circumcised, too?

2 Samuel 22:35 03-26-2010 05:05 PM

Hey Bruce Im not married i am 15 with a mom and a younger sister
I got a good laugh though!!!
LOL

Phil from Maine 03-27-2010 02:26 AM

Will your dog be registerd? If so they appear to like long names.. How about Sargeant Yellow Dust? You could then call him Sarge, Sargent, Yeller, Dusty or what have you.. Or you could just call him Beetle a name not many would think of..

But Judah?

2 Samuel 22:35 03-27-2010 12:06 PM

No it is a stray that an animal shelter found.
They asked us to take him and......how could we rufuse

Phil from Maine 03-27-2010 12:21 PM

I have heard another interpetation of PETA is People And The Ethical Treatment of Animals
Not my opinion this came from a non-hunter
But still a good laugh.:p
