How about Pal?

I would give it, like, a Trevor or a Sengal. Something exciting!

Trygve.
Or I like that name, and it seems appropriate, anyway. I wouldn't really know without meeting the dog. Maybe he's a Truman / Tru, Peregrine / Perry, Troubadour, Lazarus, Sinjin, Oswald / Oz, Theodoric / Theo, Xerxes, Socrates, Rafiq / Rafi, Sunny, Rene, Abelard, Nimbus, Linden, Claude, Trace, Briggs, Serge, Sage, Easter, Raziel, Zakai, Guy, Dante, Kevin, Walter, Theory, Zeitgeist, Grasshopper, Conrad, etc instead.

I'd choose any human name for him and I'll pick the one that hits different to me. But for now I think I'll name one Aurelien.

Arjun. I've been reading a lot of books featuring Hindu mythology and Arjun is one of my favorite characters.

Bailey isn't common aruond here, but there are tons of Thors.

I'd name mine Balak

My neighbors had a golden retriever named Bailey. You're right, it is a common dog name!

---

Maybe I'd name mine Barnum, to put a little twist on things.

Seemed like the most common golden name. For males and females. Back in the nineties anyway, I remember noticing it on every other puppy, then, when I worked at a vet in the bay area. guess it has not changed

---

I might name it a happy word. Like Happy or Jolly. Or Gem, Winsome (Wynn maybe).
If it had to be a people name, maybe Frankie or Gil (Gilbert).

As a child we had one called Barney.
Albie has been considered lately for a dog here, As has Egon, and my neighbors called theirs Drax the Destroyer. Bailey seems a pretty common dog name, but don't know one personally.

Apollo, I think. Polly for short?

The golden male we had when I was growing up was named Topaz. I've also known males named Copper, Sun Dog, and Bonzo.

Marine, Steve, Tuna.

Joey, Bert, Frank, Gilbert

Zeno sounds very golden to me and somewhat happy go lucky.

---

Something like Mungo, which is a little derpy, might fit some dog personalities.

---

For a dog with a more serious, stodgy personality, maybe Wystan or Bastian.

---

The knightly imagery of Gawain or Percival (Percy) might be cute.

---

I also like Max. I know it is a typical dog name, but I still like it.

The omnipresent dog name in my life is Dakota / Koda. Bizarre!

---

A grandfatherly name would be cute: Arnold (my maternal grandfather's name), Eugene, Roy, Gerard, Luther, etc.

not just you ...

---

For years, whenever I herd of someone getting a dog, and its name wasn't Bailey or Tucker or Sadie or Lily, I was surprised.

---

My mother and stepfather adopted a golden-doodle last year; his name's Ernie, but they didn't name him that, he was already named when he arrived.

---

Let's see;

---

Boris (cuddly bear-like dog name?)

---

Monster (ironic!)

---

Ringo?

---

Fast Eddie?
