My parents recently bought a male golden retriever puppy that needs a name. He is a dark reddish-gold color. They won’t have him for a few weeks. Here are some of their current favorite ideas:
[name_m]Irving[/name_m]
[name_m]Obadiah[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Obie[/name_m])
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_m]Mulligan[/name_m]
[name_m]McGregor[/name_m]
[name_m]Hercules[/name_m]
Ruger
They’re open to just about anything. Looking for ideas.
I like [name_m]Irving[/name_m], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], [name_m]Mulligan[/name_m], and Ruger from their list!
I personally like short and sweet names for dogs 
That way if you’re yelling his name across a dog park or repeating it over and over again while training, you don’t get tired of it haha! Here are some of my suggestions:
[name_m]Miller[/name_m]
[name_m]Archie[/name_m]
[name_m]Saber[/name_m]
[name_m]Redd[/name_m]
[name_m]Caesar[/name_m]
[name_m]Cooper[/name_m]
[name_u]Blaze[/name_u]
[name_m]Link[/name_m]
[name_m]Newton[/name_m]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_f]Alpha[/name_f]
[name_m]Rusty[/name_m]
[name_m]Canon[/name_m]
[name_u]Cairo[/name_u]
[name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] aka [name_m]Monty[/name_m]
[name_u]Blue[/name_u]
[name_m]Kane[/name_m]
[name_m]Winston[/name_m]
Ridger
[name_u]Frankie[/name_u]
[name_m]Russell[/name_m]
[name_f]Crimson[/name_f]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_u]Cedar[/name_u]
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m] came to mind—its homophone, rufous, is a reddish-brown color (and [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] means “red-head”).
[name_f]Copper[/name_f], Rua (Irish for that red), [name_f]Terra[/name_f] (or maybe not!)/ Terracotta. I like [name_m]Rusty[/name_m], [name_m]Rufus[/name_m], [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] and [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] suggestions from above.
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m] or [name_m]Mulligan[/name_m]
Kanellos (cinnamon), a famous doggy had this name but seems to suit the colouring reddish colouring.
