Golden retriever puppy needs a name

Pet Names
1

We are getting a male golden retriever in 2 weeks. At this point he will be nameless. I’m struggling far more with this than naming human babies! he is a very pale golden color. For style, we used to have a black lab named [name_u]Haven[/name_u].

Names on the list include:
[name_u]Ridley[/name_u] (the original plan) - don’t like the abundance of similar sounding names Wrigley, rigby, ripley… also don’t like nn Rid
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]/[name_m]Casper[/name_m] (call him [name_m]Cas[/name_m] for short?)
[name_m]Brody[/name_m]/[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]
[name_m]Palmer[/name_m]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u] - fan favorite but seems obvious? Can i do better?

I’m feeling like the name is just not on the list yet. Or maybe all of them would work equally well. I don’t know, just looking for ideas. Other than “Digger Mrs [name_u]Green[/name_u]”, which was my four year olds suggestion.

Of your list I think [name_m]Casper[/name_m] would be cute!

Or if you like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], maybe [name_m]Arrow[/name_m] would suit? Wish I had a pup to name :wink:

Congratulations! [name_m]How[/name_m] about Opie? He will be a ginger colour and [name_m]Ron[/name_m] [name_u]Howard[/name_u] played a character named Opie on the [name_u]Andy[/name_u] [name_m]Griffith[/name_m] Show. My favourites in your list are [name_m]Palmer[/name_m] and [name_u]Ridley[/name_u].

I’m liking [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] for your new pup!

Side note: so in love with your kiddos names!!
