We called our chocolate lab we had when I was growing up "Azor" it suited him perfect as he was a beast of a dog. Biggest lab we had ever owned.
If I were to name a new one I would go with something like Desmond or Sawyer (ok not sure if I would or not but I love LOST so it would likely be something from the show)
Congrats on the pup, I loved our labs growing up. My personal dog was actually a pup from my brothers dog, so I had him from birth. His name was Marcus. |

Haha! I was thinking "Andy", but had more in mind Andy Capp of the comic strip :-)

My neighbors dog is named chainsaw and he is a black lab. Also a good choice would be sawzall, skillsaw, or maybe saber saw. Noone would attack you if you had a dog with a mean name....Oh and by the way chainsaw really is a wimp. My Dixie took him down and she is half his size.

| We had a Zachariah. And my dog from growing up times was Andrew. One of the things our family has always done is find a dictionary with names listing. Then we went thru the list until we found a name that "suited" the pet. |

Edited for brevity.
Dio-ji is phonetic for D-O-G.

Brady
Hunter
Tucker
Gaelic names
Brody
Casey - means Brave
Darby - Free man
Dillon - Faithful
1 and 2 syllable names are easy to call - Marmaduke is not :-)

Forgive me if this has been mentioned already, but they say (whoever 'they' are) that dogs' names should be two syllables, since all verbal commands are monosyllabic. Sit, Stay, Come, Down, Heel, etc. It gives the dog one more advantage when trying to figure out what we're saying to them.
that said, my two favourite dog names are both one syllable: Stay is one ("Sit, Stay.", "Come, Stay") and Doug is the other (Beware of Doug).

My only advice would be to pick a name with a low pitch. Puppies and fear make the high pitch sounds in the dog world, pack leader and normal peer to peer communication takes place in fairly low pitch sounds.
Cats are the opposite, low pitch is trouble, high pitch is happiness.
A co worker on a job once had a beautiful Rotwieler bread in the Netherlands named "Faulk". Great dog but he would tend to wander off and Steve would step outside a yell "FAAUULLLKK" at the top of his lungs. Some names sound different when yelled out loud. You may like the philosophy of Emanuel Kant, calling a dog named "Kant" in public can be misunderstood. |
