Best Labrador Retriever Names

Labradors are pretty awesome. They’re friendly, smart, playful, hard workers, and fantastic companion animals. They’re also known for their lovable personalities. Oh, and the fact that they’re so cute at every age!

It’s only natural to want to name your Lab something that reflects one of her fantastic qualities. You may want a name that references her beautiful chocolate coat, or how cute she was as a puppy, or maybe even her annoying-but-still-adorable habit of trying to help you in the garden by digging up every plant, whether it’s a weed or not.

Regardless of what type of Lab you have, we’re confident that you will find the perfect name somewhere here on this list. In fact, the main problem may be deciding which one of your own top ten best fits your pup!
