Female Pup Name Help

It looks like I’ll be getting a new Fox Red lab in the near future. I originally wanted Shelby for years, up until a somewhat close acquaintance took that name for their yellow lab, now I’m somewhat torn. More than likely I would never hunt with that person or dog, but it kind of stole my thunder, as funny as it sounds.

I have spent quite a few hours researching female names, and what I would prefer is to not get a typical name. Something unique but that would sound good when yelling out over a field or a swamp.

Thanks for the help!

Spinner.

Also, my father’s and brother-in-law’s dogs are named Bristol and Tallie (short for Talladega) so I would prefer something that doesn’t sound too similar to those.

If we had picked a female instead of the male we picked we were going to name her Teal since my son is so much into duck hunting.

Good luck with the new pup

Shiloh or Sierra

I do like the name Teal as I am a bigger duck hunter and that will be her main objective.

I have not had any time with the dog yet, so I think that would also be a good idea to spend some time with her.

There are alot more cool/hunting related names for male dogs… I didn’t want your standard female dog names- Maggie, Abbie, Molly, Polly, Jessie……..

So I thought of NOVA.. after my first shotgun … And My next female will be LUNA..

Everyone really likes those names and your sure don’t hear of them on other dogs.

My 3-year old wants to name our next dog “Tree Star”. I still haven’t figured out where he came up with that…and I told him no, so you can have that name. You’re welcome.

ZOEY. That is the name of my wife’s dog, should carry well. I should say that the wife’s dog is a Morkie, so maybe not a strong enough name for a hunting dog, but we like it.

Just making stuff up but DOWNY or DABBY has a duck flavor.

A while back when learning to train my lab for waterfowl retrieving, I read that it is best to use a single syllable name for dogs for the reason that the dog “hears” it better in the field. I have been saving a name for a new pup but you are welcome to use it…”Truck”. Others I am fond of (and may break that single syllable rule) are: Lacy, Joey, China, Ginger and Butt Munch. (OK, that last one not so much).

…Teal. I like that name. That would be my vote….Be careful with names starting with the letter S. A lot names starting with S sound to much like commands that you be using. Like SIT and STAY etc. …rrr

If she’s going to be a hunter, I have to warn against picking a name that is a word commonly used while in the field.

My buddy named his dog Drake… Poor thing gets confused hearing his name every time a flock of ducks is working us. Something you could run into with the name Teal.

Beretta, usually shouted as “Bretta”. It’s suited a couple of my female GWPs well enough.

Dixie

Just named our new pup Willow…it’s growing on me. She knows it well, and responds just as well-when she wants to. Curse the pups who are smarter than their owners!

My last Vizsla as named Reba. Worked well. I like two syllable names because most commands are one syllable. Example: sit, stay, whoa ,down, off, etc. One 2 syllable command I teach my dogs is: leave it. Comes in handy when sniffing and picking up something that they should not have.

foxy

Dizzy is my pick

We ended up with a male lab and named him Ruger, I wanted Sig and lost out on that. A dog trainer had told me to NOT name a dog with a name longer than 2 syllables as that is about all they can comprehend

For females we had
Sako
Astra
Larue
Puma
Rossi
Tikka

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Pick her up on 12/12…I posted a pic of her in Dogs of IDO thread if you wanna peek.

The wife and I kind of like the name Luna, but I still think I might wait until I’ve had her for a day or two to figure out her personality before I title her.

Sam or Sammie

Ginger or maybe Nasty

We got a dog recently and named her “Gerty”
This is our fourth dog and this is by far my favorite name, not sure why,just rolls off the tongue well and I’ve never heard it used before.

This is what I did for my dogs name. Took my heritage and looked up female names. Also narrow the search to the first letter of the name.
For me in order to regester my dog with
Large Munsterlander Association of America I had to use the letter A for she was the first litter.
I came with a danish name Almeta (meaning “A pearl” in danish)Al for short.
I thought it a clever way to find a name and it fits perfectly.

My dogs names. All labs
Mesa
Char
Scanner
Avery
Haven
And haven is pregnant and I may name my next dog spur.

I also helped name my brothers dog. Autumn (red lab)

And helped my brother inlaw name there yellow. Willow.

Getting a pup this time of year, that’d be easy for me – Auger. Been wanting Augie the doggie myself but my wife says a pup in a condo will have to wait until I retire.
