Good Dog Names

Dog Names List
To give a Labrador Retriever dog a great name, there are some names to avoid.
Don't give a name that is like a command. Nola and Snowy sound like "No". Clown sounds like "Down". Fletch sounds like "Fetch".
Goofy silly names, like Poopsie or Sweetie-Weetie, will embarrass an owner when he or she calls for the dog at a dog park.
Some owners like to avoid the top ten names. It might not always be a problem, but if the guy down the street calls for Molly the Collie, then Molly the Lab, Molly the Bulldog, and Molly the Great Dane may all run over to him.
Names like Baby, Tiny, and Itsy Bitsy can be strange when a Labrador puppy grows up to his or her adult dog size.
Don't give a dog, especially a big dog, a scary name like Psycho Killer or Attack. People may be afraid to pet the pup. Read about some easy ways to teach a puppy his name.
