Labrador Retriever Names



Lab Puppy


Welcome to our Labrador Retriever Names page.

Because this breed has consistently ranked in the top 10 most popular dog breeds year in and year out, we felt that it would be a dereliction of our dog naming duties if we left this specific breed out of our Dog Names By Breed category….so we didn't.

What you'll find on this page are 4 different name categories, with each one giving name suggestions that either sounded like it might fit on this breed, or, might be a match based upon this breeds color. You'll see what we mean when you see our Black Lab Name and Yellow Lab Name categories.

Here's Our Lab Name Lists…


Male Lab Names

The names on this list are specially suited for the canine man in your life. Why settle for any old name, when you can find names hand selected for their uniqueness by our own dog naming experts.

Female Lab Names

Special names for special ladies. All the male dogs at the dog park will turn their heads when you call your girl by one of these names, and won’t be able to resist coming over for a sniff.

Yellow Lab Names

Why not give your pup a name that reflects it’s yellowish coloration? They’ll be no mistaking Flash, or Daisy when they enter the room. Find lots of additional name ideas here…

Chocolate Lab Names

Everyone loves chocolate, especially if it comes in the form of a sweet lab. The names on this page reflect the uniqueness of the chocolate coloration of this loveable breed, without all the calories!

Cool Lab Names

Looking for cool lab names? Here's a great start! These hip names will have your pup being the envy of the neighborhood. Even the neighbors cat will wish he were a dog when he hears your dogs cool name.

Unique Lab Names

If your Lab stands out from the crowd, then these Labrador Retriever names are the pick of the litter and will do your dog justice. You won’t find any name runts on this page, only unique names that will match your unique pup.
