Since all my previous dogs had been adopted, they already came with names or my parents took on the task of naming them.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first family dog was a pound puppy named Cleo. She was part chow, part golden retriever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My parents ended up naming her Cleopatra because she had the appearance of having dark eyeliner around her eyes. She was fluffy like a chow, with the coloring of a <a href=\"https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/red-golden-retriever\/\">red golden retriever<\/a> and a <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/can-a-purebred-dog-have-a-spotted-tongue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">purple tongue<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"495\" data-pin-description=\"Golden Chow Mix sitting next to young girl\" data-pin-title=\"Golden Chow Mix\" src=\"https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/golden-chow-mix-700x495.jpg\" alt=\"Golden Chow Mix sitting next to young girl\" class=\"wp-image-30128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/golden-chow-mix-700x495.jpg 700w, https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/golden-chow-mix-400x283.jpg 400w, https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/golden-chow-mix-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/golden-chow-mix-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/golden-chow-mix.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">My first retriever mix, Cleopatra (Cleo)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Another one of my childhood dogs was a sweet golden retriever mix named Sienna. Her coat was an earthy orange color, hence her name, Sienna.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She had the sweetest temperament and was a fast learner.&nbsp; My parents thought she may have been trained as a therapy dog before she came to our family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first dog my husband and I adopted together was a rescue named George. He was a German shepherd mix and the only male in his litter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We called him Geo, Georgie, or Georgieman. He was the largest of his litter and very handsome, so George was a fitting name for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Charlie came from a breeder, he was given a litter name. My niece was the one who actually chose the theme for the litter, the movie: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt6587640\/\">Trolls World Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charlie\u2019s given name was Branch. We thought Branch was a fun name but wanted to rename our new golden retriever pup and include our daughter in the naming process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a look at the steps we took to pick out a name for our golden retriever puppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Naming Your Golden Retriever Puppy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s our 4-step process for choosing our most recent Golden Retriever puppy name, Charlie:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"#brainstorming\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Brainstorming<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#OnlineResearch\" class=\"rank-math-link\"><strong>Online Research<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#FamilyDiscussion\" class=\"rank-math-link\"><strong>Family Discussion<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#FinalCut\" class=\"rank-math-link\">The Final Cut<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Brainstorming\">1. Brainstorming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in picking out a name for our puppy was brainstorming. During this step, we just threw out any boy&#8217;s name that we could think of and wrote it down on a piece of paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oddly enough, we even put down names of family pets of years past such as George and Ralph. This step took us about a week as we racked our brains for any and every name we could think of for our puppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"OnlineResearch\">2. Online Research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now some of my readers might say, \u201cHeck with the first step,\u201d and just move right along to online research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s OK, but don\u2019t sell yourself short on what you can come up with. If you use your own brainpower, the name might have more meaning to you and your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, your search doesn\u2019t have to be just dog or pet names. We actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodhousekeeping.com\/life\/parenting\/a34439152\/popular-baby-names-2021\/\">searched for baby names<\/a> because we have an affinity for pets with human names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are including your kids in the process, you are sure to come up with some quirky names that will have the whole family laughing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, once we found names we liked, we went and did a little research on the meaning of the names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a fun learning activity for our daughter, too. For example, who knew that the meaning of Charlie is &#8220;free man&#8221; and that it is of Old German origin?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"FamilyDiscussion\">3. Family Discussion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Family discussion played a huge role in how we came up with our Top 10 List. This step was crucial because it gave everyone a chance to voice their opinion on which names they liked best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every couple of days, we would go through the list and cross off names that we agreed would not be a good fit. If we didn\u2019t like the name, we would simply cross it off the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"FinalCut\">4. The Final Cut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When our list was whittled down to about 10 names we had to make a final decision. I wanted Franklin (Frankie) and my daughter wanted Spark (Sparky.) The tiebreaker went to my husband and he chose Charlie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We sometimes call him Chuck or Charlie B., which stands for Charlie Branch.&nbsp; When he is in big trouble, we call him Charles, because it is a much more serious version of Charlie.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\" data-pin-description=\"Golden Retriever sitting on pebbled concrete\" data-pin-title=\"English Cream Golden Retriever\" src=\"https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/english-cream-golden-charlie-700x1050.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/english-cream-golden-charlie-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/english-cream-golden-charlie-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/english-cream-golden-charlie-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/english-cream-golden-charlie-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/puppyintraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/english-cream-golden-charlie.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Here&#8217;s Charlie looking like a Charlie!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In case you couldn\u2019t tell, I really love dogs with human names.
