How to Choose an Amazing Golden Retriever Dog Name

Choosing a good name for your new pet is important. It’s the key to being able to call him or her by something he or she will respond to.

Use the below tips to choose a great name for your golden retriever puppy. Remember, since you are naming this dog for life, make sure that it is a name you love!

Think about the golden retriever’s personality. What word would they use to describe themselves?

If your golden retriever loves people, perhaps “Friendly” would be an appropriate name. Perhaps “Cheerful” applies if they are always happy and warm to others. If they like to be active, consider “Active” or “Movement.”

Choose a title that has something to do with their fur color. For example, Rusty is a great name for a golden retriever with lighter-colored fur and Shadow is perfect for a darkly-colored golden retriever puppy .

You can also simply use the color and add an adjective in front of it (e.g., Goldie). For example, Brownie is another good option for naming your new pet.

Consider what you want them to be when they grow up. Is there one specific thing you would like them to do that would fit their name?

If you like the idea of your golden retriever doing search and rescue, call him or her “Rescue.” If you choose this option, make sure it really suits them; don’t pick something because it sounds cool if it doesn’t suit him.
