Dog name suggestions please?

After 20 years of marriage and my resisting, SWMBO is on the verge of getting a seven-month old male yellow Labrador, against my better judgement. Told her no way am I picking up it's warm deposits! (Also told her we're getting a new car......)

Not particularly liking his current name (Herbie), looking for suggestions please?

We're on Bracken, Morton, Hadley, Hobnob, Hashtag, Nacho, Brodie, Barley, Acorn, Kipling - any votes for these? (Or not).

Thanks chaps.

You mean the woman in "The Champions", Walter? Maybe not.

But we did consider having to call the dog on the local beach.... "Lookout!", "Watchit!" or even, "Shark!"

I always thought if I had a dog I would call it "sit"

Or, "Fetch!"

Fetch, would not work.....................

Fetch, come here. So he would.

Sit, come here. So he stays where he is, as he has just been told to sit.

Dave or Brian are the best names for a dog. I don't know why, they just are.

Classically, call it 'syndrome'.

DOWN Syndrome!

Aside - all our cats are named for Scottish islands. Harris (Harry), Lewis (Lewie), Skye and Jura. We did have a dog (15 years ago) called Angus (forgot his name for a moment!).
