On this page you'll find Golden Retriever Names that were picked to
match this particular breed as closely as one can match a naming choice.
Being one of the most popular dog breeds out there, we felt they deserved their very own Golden Retriever dog names page. So in order to come up with creative ideas for our lists, we tried to take into account the following breed attributes that have made the Golden Retriever such a popular pooch in the first place....
Things like…
-Their natural beauty
-Their golden or dark blonde color
-Naturally affectionate disposition
-Very intelligent and easily trained
-A very loyal, and affectionate family pet
-Enjoys the outdoors and is an excellent sporting dog
So whether you're looking for gender specific choices, or even those a bit out of the ordinary, we hope you'll find these names for Golden Retrievers are just what the veterinarian ordered.
Blaze: As with the golden blaze of a fire, not only a good pick for a pooch that’s gold in color, but also for the Golden Retriever that’s fast on it’s feet, especially when called to dinner.
Chablis: For the Retriever whose love is like a fine wine, good before and after meals. Heck, why not for breakfast lunch and dinner too? And don’t forget weekends.
Jazz: This has a smooth and trendy sound to it. It’s an excellent choice for a Golden Retriever if you’re a music lover, or if your pup keeps rhythm with it’s tail.
Jubilee: A jubilee is a big party of sorts. Everyone gets together during a jubilee and have lots of fun. This is an interesting Retriever name choice for the pup that’s the life of the party.
Marilyn: What better way to pay tribute to your Golden Retriever pal than by naming her after the blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe? Good for the blonde dog that enters the room one hip at a time.
Rags: A cute Golden Retriever name for a pup that loves to chew on everything he can find. This pooch will love to tease you and is always ready to learn new things.
Rhapsody: A good choice for a dog that gives you an ecstatic expression of feeling. Your Golden Retriever will add something very refreshing to your life, whether it be it’s humor, or just the warmth of companionship.
Rumor: If you want to be talked about by family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, adopt a four-legged canine buddy. We’re not sure you’d want to tell this Retriever any secrets though.
Sadie: Meaning "Princess" in Hebrew, this name is suitable for a Golden Retriever that gets along well with children, strangers and the elderly. This girl is a very loved canine, and your pooch will love this name.
Safari: Meaning "journey", Safari is a cute Golden Retriever
name. If your buddy loves to travel or take long walks or is always
meandering somewhere then this is a good choice.
