Giving your yellow Labrador Retrievers names can be a lot of fun – or it can be drudgery. Sometimes, a name just comes to you. The puppy does something comical, and you name it accordingly. Other times, the Lab is given a name at the kennel, especially if it is an AKC registered Lab. You may want a different “call name”, of course, so off you go, looking for yellow Labrador retriever names.

Yellow Labrador Retriever names that have no precise meaning might still relate to something distinctive about your dog. You might name a very fast dog Yellow Lightning. You might show your sense of humor, and call the puppy Yellab. Some people have chosen foods as yellow Labrador Retriever names: Cheesecake, Cornpone, or Lemonade. Of course, you could always use “Sandy” or “Old Yaller”.
These are lovely names from different languages. Nice list. I think these names will also fit other breed of dogs.
We named our yellow Lab “Otis”,the one who hears well. Otis means “the ear” in Latin. The dog has lived up to his name. He is ten years old today and has followed us around the world to Japan. Kids and neighbors love him as he is so responsive to human interaction. Having that said: Without a couple rounds of puppy training (till we reached “canine good citizen at age 2 1/2) this dog sad to say would be on a leash in the backyard.
My girl is called Dee Dee, after Doris Day (another gorgeous blond and a champion for animals). I also think the names Halo (as in an angels’ halo) and Luna would be nice names for a Yellow Lab.
I also have a Golden lab pair…the male is BRUNO and female is called RANI
I have a white labrador well i guess their actually called yellow labs but anyway i named my dog otis… It’s a VERY special name to me:) But i only have one question… Do you actually have to pick out your labs name? Are you supposed to name him what your told or have a list of names to choose from?
ive named mine Tipu after my dog who dies long time back. all the name here are really nice !
I like the names you have here. I wish I had seen your site a couple of weeks ago…Sonika,and Orianna are really nice names. I think they would have suited my dog fine. As it is, we named her Kelsey. Yes it does have to do with the restaurant. No matter though, I think we will be getting another dog in the future and I will keep those names on hand… Even if it turns out we get a black puppy instead…
is a good name
