Since then, we’ve helped millions of new dog owners pick the perfect pup name. And at the heart of everything is Toby. He continues to inspire us to be better dog parents every day.
So as you look for Labrador names, know you’re in the right place. We’ve taken great measures to find the ultimate list of names for your Labrador.

My black male Lab is named Canyon
We all know Labs can get big.
I also have a yellow Lab and her name is Blossom. I see Hunter was mentioned in the article. I obviously gravitate towards nature names. ❤🐾
Some more Black lab name ideas: Nyx (Greek Goddess of the Night), Styx (The Border River of the Greek Underworld), Loki (Norse god of mischief), Hecate (Greek Goddess of Magic and Crossroads).
Yellow lab name ideas: Frey (Norse god of summer, wealth, good health and fertility), Freya (Frey’s twin sister and goddess of one of the Norse afterlives along with Valhalla and Helheim, as well as beauty, fertility, and love. Her tears turned into gold), Njord (Norse god of fisherman, so good for a water dog), Elysium (Ancient Greek Heaven.)

We just named our yellow male puppy Sol. The Spanish word for sun and a delicious golden colored Mexican beer. It fits him perfectly!
