I've only been a round him for a few minutes. His job will be retrieving. So I've not picked a name yet. So I am approaching you guys for suggestions.
The name will have to be one that will not make me look like an ass when calling in public. Hence, not "Whoopie" or "Dammit." (I actually had a dog named Dammit once.)

I am a firm believer that dogs should get people names. the dogs my family has had have been Luke, Emma, Charlie, and Lucy. People names, man. I'm telling you.

That would be good if I were getting another German Shepherd.
I think Lab's need something a little happy sounding. I was leaning to Ralphie. So I could do an Art Carney Imitation to call him, "HEY, HEY RALPHIE BOY!"

I vote for the name.... Sir Honey Badger von Badass, Lord of Fluffyness. Though some would call him...Tim for short.

How about Richelieu, to go with your naming conventions? Like, Canada is half french anyway. You could use the shorthand Ritchie in polite company, and there are quite a number of famous people to whom the shorthand fits. So plenty of possibilities to find some pithy phrase for most occasions, and Ritchie sounds quite fun to boot while Richelieu is suitably ominous.

I was chatting about Full Metal Jacket with a friend... Pyle might be a cool name. But then I don't really want to train him like I'm a Drill Instructor.

What about Smith? I like the idea of a dog called Smith.
That's even a nice title for something! "A dog called Smith"

So many obscure pop culture references...
If you would be into playing Orks in Warhammer 40,000, I'd say Git Finder (with a Cockney accent): "All ah needz for me WAAGH! is me gun and me git finder!"
If you believe in the present trend of giving weird-ass names to children, go that way with dogs: Pussy. I'd love to hear you call that out in the open
If you're into Nostalgia Critic... Balzac Or Boomer. Or CHUCKA NORREEEES!!
Fnordbear already stole my chance for an ostentatious name and Monty Python references.
Ralphie, Gram, Cabot, Skeet (It still works for a male gundog,) Thor, Churchill (I just don't know if he will look like every white baby in another 2 years.)
Appa is a nerd name that most people would not catch.
Might as well name him Spuds McKenzie. Damn, half of you guys are to young to remember him. Anyway, Dogs sell beer.

Fenris - the legendary Nordic wolf who FUCKIN' ATE Odin and his eight-legged horse in Ragnarök, the mythical end-of-times battle of Viking mythology.
Cuchúlainn - pronounced 'koo-WHOO-lin', literally 'the hound of Cúlainn', tha name of the greatest of Irish warriors. He got it by killing the smith Cúlainn's dog and being sentenced to serve in the dead canine's place for a year.
Isn't "Oreo" some kind of racial slur used by black people towards black people? Didn't it mean something like "somebody who is black but wishes to be white and behaves like he is?" (whatever that's supposed to mean)
Does it make sense for somebody of another ethnicity to use it if the connotation is "you aren't really one of us because you think like one of them?"
There's so many racist words in english it drives me crazy...

I wouldn't have even thought about it if the guy hadn't of turned around giving me an incredulous look after my shouting "Oreo!" in his general direction.

A moment is only as awkward as you make of it. If I was calling after a dog named Oreo and someone looked at me incredulously, I'd probably say "It was that or Bukkake."

Bukkake could see a racist term for white people that act like they want to be asian. That is, they are asian inside even if they have a white face.
Ba-dum psh?

I have been greatly misled.

Is the title of this thread a reference to something? The way the exclamations are set up made me wonder...
