The labrador is the most popular dog breed in the world, so there's no shortage of inspiration when it comes to naming them. So what are good names for a labrador puppy? Well, the breed's popularity can actually make that difficult since there are so many owners all looking for unique, individual dog names.
Hopefully, the list of dog names for labs that we've compiled will help. Below, there are over 200+ male and female names for labrador retrievers. We've handpicked the names on this list based on how we think they represent the personality, physical presence, and temperament of most labs.
What does that mean? It means that since labs are exceptionally friendly, innately loyal, and often times more than a little clumsy, we've picked names that remind us of these qualities.
If you don't think your lab fits this mold or the names on this list, look at our other lists for more ideas. We have lists based on the outdoors, the dog's activity level, and even the owner's own interests that will give you more options when it comes to naming your pooch.
