101 Best Golden Retriever Names That Are Pure GoldGeorge the Golden Floof / Instagram

It's only fair that your new golden retriever has a name as golden as its coat (and heart!). After all, a golden retriever is the happy-go-lucky, fluffy dog breed that basically gives all dogs their rep as "Man's Best Friend."

Like a snowflake, no two golden retrievers are exactly alike, so their names should reflect that uniqueness! Of course, classic boy dog names like Lucky and girl dog names like Daisy will always be cute, but this list will also give you unique name ideas that stray off the beaten path (just like your retriever probably will on walks). Arlo or Obi, anyone?

Take it from Alex and Mauricio, who named their new puppy George—a name that you might think better matches a human rather than a fluffy golden retriever, but nonetheless fits the pup perfectly. And now, we can’t imagine watching George slurp up Puppuccinos or meander around Alex's yard under any other moniker!

Here, you'll also find golden retriever names inspired by Ree Drummond's favorite topic, food, like Waffles and Nugget. There are even plenty of names for those of you who want to take inspiration from your dog's thick golden coat, like Ginger and Blondie! Regardless of what name you deem fit for your golden child, you’re sure to find something unique and sweet that matches your pup’s personality!
