Okay, so I've got a new Labrador puppy, super cute, but I was totally blanking on names. I needed something that fit, you know?

Brainstorming Disaster

First, I tried the usual route. You know, Googling "dog names." Ugh. So many generic lists. "Buddy," "Max," "Bella"... they're fine, but nothing clicked. I wanted something a little more... specific to Labs. They're energetic, friendly, and have that classic look.

Digging Deeper

So, I changed my search. I started looking at things Labs do. "Retriever names," "water dog names," that kind of thing. This got me a little closer. I found some interesting ones related to water, like:

  • River
  • Lake
  • Marina

But still, not quite it. I also thought about their colors. My Lab is a chocolate one, so I looked up names related to that. I got a bunch like:

  • Coco
  • Mocha
  • Hershey

Better, but everyone names brown things Cocoa!.

The "Aha!" Moment

Then, I remembered a friend's Lab named "Gunner." It sounded strong and classic, perfect for a hunting breed. THAT was the key! I started thinking about the history of Labs. They were bred for hunting, right? I need to find strong and classic hunting words.

I came up with:

  • Hunter
  • Chase
  • Scout

I even considered names of famous hunting dogs from books or movies, but most of those were too common or didn't fit my pup's personality. I observed him playing for a whole afternoo. He likes to fetch and hide. A name suddenly pop up.

The Winner!

Finally, after all that searching and thinking, I found my favorite one is Seeker.

It's a little bit different, suits his personality, and is a kind reminder of good old days.

Naming a dog is surprisingly hard, but I am super satisfied with Seeker
