Choosing a name for your yellow Lab sure can be a challenge! Especially since there are so many great yellow lab names.

In this article, you’ll hopefully find all the inspiration you need one of these yellow lab names is sure to fit your sweet yellow Lab to a T!

When you’re picking from themed names lists, don’t just go with your favorite. Make sure that the name works for your dog, lifestyle and family too. Choose a name that doesn’t sound like anyone elses. It should be short, one or two syllables at most. And it should have longer vowels and harsher consonant sounds, to help with communication and training your new baby yellow Lab.

Choosing Good Yellow Lab Names

Choosing names for yellow pets can be challenging enough on its own. But consider this: the Labrador retriever is the number one most popular dogs in the US and has been for the past 26 years and counting—wow! What this means is that you are likely to run into plenty of other Labs and their owners at the dog park, beach, hiking trails, and even your local fire hydrant.

So you’ll want to pick a sufficiently unique name that won’t send every yellow Lab in the area running towards you!

Plus, you’ll be calling this name a lot over the next several years, so it’s best to pick a name that’s easy and comfortable to say out loud— at home and in public. Just picture yourself running up and down your street yelling “Mr. Sassy Herring Lacy Pants” five or 100 times to understand why this is so important!

Yellow Lab Naming Tips

Here are a few helpful hints to guide you towards picking the right name for your yellow lab. First, you may want to try to stay away from any name that sounds too much like the name of a fellow family member or friend. Especially if you suspect this person might not appreciate being your pup’s namesake.

Also, in some cases, choosing a shorter name (three syllables or less) can be easier to say and also easier for your lab to hear. Finally, you may want to think twice before picking a racy or confrontational name that could be taken the wrong way by others.
