Popular Golden Retriever Names
Alright, alright, let’s talk about names for them yellow dogs, you know, the Golden Retrievers. Good dogs, them. Always waggin’ their tails and slobberin’ all over ya. But what to call ‘em? That’s the question, ain’t it?

Well, I heard tell some folks like fancy names, like that “Luna” one. Means moon, they say. Sounds kinda uppity to me, but hey, to each their own. If your dog’s all gentle and prissy-like, maybe that fits. Then there’s “Rosie.” That’s a nice, sweet name. Like a flower, you know? Good for a friendly, playful dog, which most of them goldens are.
Now, some city folks, they got all sorts of names from their dog papers, or whatever. Heard they got a whole list of popular names from New York City. Can you believe that? People in the city keepin’ track of dog names! Guess they ain’t got nothin’ better to do. But hey, if that helps you find a name, more power to ya.
- Boy Names
- Buddy – That’s a good, plain name. Means friend, don’t it?
- Charlie – Another friendly-soundin’ one.
- Max – Short and sweet. Easy to yell when he’s gettin’ into the garbage.
- Cooper – Don’t know why, but that one just sounds like a good dog’s name.
- Duke – For a dog that acts like he’s the king of the castle, you know?
- Girl Names
- Bella – Pretty name, that one. Means beautiful, I think.
- Daisy – Like a flower, again. Sweet and pretty.
- Lucy – Just a good, old-fashioned name.
- Sadie – Sounds kinda spunky, don’t it? For a dog with a little bit of sass.
- Molly – Another one that just sounds right for a dog.
Then you got folks who like names from them movies and TV shows. I don’t watch much TV myself, too busy workin’ my garden, but I heard tell of some famous dog characters. Guess you could name your dog after one of them. Just don’t get too attached, you know? Dogs ain’t actors, they’re dogs.
Look, at the end of the day, it don’t really matter what you name your dog. Long as you treat ’em right, feed ’em good, and give ’em plenty of scratches behind the ears, they’ll love ya no matter what. You could call ’em “Dog” for all they care. But if you want a fancy name, a sweet name, or a tough name, that’s your business.
This here list I got, it’s got some of them popular names, the ones folks seem to like. Got boy names, girl names, all sorts. You can pick one of them, or you can make up your own. It ain’t rocket science, you know? Just find a name that feels right for your dog, a name that fits his personality or her looks.
And don’t forget, you gotta be able to yell that name out loud without feelin’ silly. Cause you’ll be yellin’ it a lot, trust me. “COME HERE, BUDDY!” “GET OUTTA THE GARDEN, LUCY!” That kinda thing. So pick a name you can live with, a name that sounds good comin’ outta your mouth.
