About this list
Labs may be the friendliest dogs, and so dog names that mean loyal friend — such as Buddy and Alvie — make ideal names for Labrador Retrievers. Names that mean love might also make good names for Labs, because they show so much affection.
Along with Buddy, other popular Labrador Retriever names include Cocoa, Scout, Teddy, Lucky, Kona, Shadow, Beau, and Mocha. Unique Labrador names with friendly and loving meanings include Dewey, Irvin, Luba, and Suki.
If you want to get meta with your Labrador or Labradoodle's name, you could give him a name that means "dog," such as Caleb or Madden. Or you could use a name that is common among humans but feels unexpected on a dog, such as Dave or Darrell — both of which mean "beloved."
Chocolate Lab names may be brown dog names such as Bruno, Arthur, and Nutmeg. Black Lab names include black dog names like Lilith, Cosmo, and Zelda. If you're looking for yellow Lab names, yellow, orange, and gold dog names including Cyrus, Daisy, and Orla may fit your pup.
If you've got a brand-new Lab or Labradoodle to name, consider these great Lab names.
