HelpNeed name for this puppy!
Hi everyone! How would you like to help us name this puppy ... we have had him two weeks and still call him pup pup because we can't agree on a name! He is a rambunctious male golden retriever with lots of energy and personality! We had wanted to give him a name that was personal and special but can't seem to come up with one we all (5 of us) like! Our last golden retriever passed away in January at age 15. We named him Wuerffel (after Gator great quarterback Danny Wuerffel). My husband and I are huge gator fans, but our two older daughters went to FSU, so they're fighting us on a gator name. We love sports, football, softball, music and we live in florida! He was born to a litter that was named the "Olympic litter" since he was born in late July. At this point, we just want a cute name that fits him well. Could you please send us your ideas/ we are open to anything however, here is a lengthy list that we have come up with!
Dewey, Cooper, Beau (Tebow, but worry about sounding like "no"), Bear/Baron (looks like a little bear cub), Albert/Bert/Burton (Gator names), Jagger, Buffett, Presley, Quincy, Tucker, Samson (hubby is Sam, daughter is Sammie - could call Sonny), Midas, Deuce (2nd golden), Teddy, Benson/Bennett, Nate, Obie (orange and blue), Rooney, Sweeney, Rody, Presley, Griffey (seems like we like y names), Bosley, Buckley, Heisman, Nicky, Finch (Jennie), Custer, Wylie, Deacon, Dempsey, Dusty, Marshall. Our last name is Henderson ... don't know if that really matters.
Please please please help us name this puppy! You are the best!

If you've agonized over this for two weeks, it's time to take drastic measures. Put all the names in a hat and draw one out and that will be his name, period.

I know a woman who had a gigantic Alsatian cross named Bear... because he was huge, husky and bear-like from the start. She called him Bear Boo as a nickname and he was an amazing dog, so I think it's a great dog name by association. And the Bear I knew grew to be very, very big and fluffy, so Bear does fit large/medium and fluffy breeds in my view :)
Really, I do like 'Bear' as a dog name. :) It's sweet.
I also like Samson "Sonny", Teddy, Dusty and Albert "Bert" or even "Bertie". One thought is that you could name him Bear and still use "Teddy" or "Teddy Bear" as a nn. I say that as my much missed kitty had a hundred and one nicknames. Dewey and Midas are okay but not entirely my style.
I don't care for the rest. Since there are some I really like, it evens out, non? :)

Well, I'm all for naming him Bear. ;-)
But others you may like:
Scooter, Sluggo, Murphy, Roscoe, Chester, Mosi, Bubba, Mojo, George, Boomer, Percy, Bosun(= boatswain, good for a water dog), Fidget, Alfie, Fibber, Duke, Buster, Smitty, Sorrel, Jubah, Sigmund, Waldo, Knut / Canute, Marmot, Hullabaloo (nn Blue?), Ipsy, Nipsy.
My knowledge of college sports is very limited so forgive me if I've made a collegiate naming no-no.

Correction
Lets' try Jubal, not Jubah. (Sorry I took too long and got logged out or I would have corrected this in my first response.)
