Not to be dramatic, but choosing the name for your Golden Retriever girl might be one of the most important decisions ever? 😉 This is what you’ll be calling across the dog park, putting on cute IG posts, and saying approximately one million times a day (especially during the puppy months, trust me!). This is why I’ve put together this Golden Retriever girl dog names list.
The absolute best advice I can give you? Wait until you’ve spent at least a day or two with your new pup before finalizing her name.
Goldens have SUCH expressive personalities, and sometimes the perfect name just hits you when you’re watching them do their thing.
That’s exactly what happened with my neighbor’s Golden. They had a whole list of sophisticated girl dog names picked out, but after watching her bound through their yard like a literal ray of sunshine, sending golden fur flying everywhere, they knew she could only be Sunshine. And let me tell you – that dog KNOWS her name is perfect for her. She practically smiles when they call her!
Another friend was set on something elegant for her Golden puppy until she watched how the dog flopped onto everyone’s lap despite her size. Two days later, Marshmallow (Marshy for short) became the most perfectly-named dog I know. Big, sweet, soft, and impossible not to love – just like her namesake!
