We had a black lab named "Amos Moses" (after the Hank Williams jr song, of course). Called him "Amos" most the time, unless he was in trouble. Then he got called the full name. Just like my kids! 
And I'm with Jimmy: "Moose" is a GREAT name for a chocolate lab!

How about "Moving target"? =)

Sorry don't like dogs.. Never have.. I will take in a Cat any day of the week but a dog gets chased off and it had better not come back. Dogs just annoy the hell out of me. To stupid for thier own good sometimes. Find a good home for the Lab and get a Cat.. you will never look back.

Kevin,
I'd much rather shoot a cat. We've had a bunch of them, all shapes and colors. Cats are the most annoying animals in existence. They don't listen. They get up on the counters even though they know they aren't supposed to. I know they know because they jump down and run as soon as you get up. They don't come when you call. You have to keep a smelly litter box. They get cat hair all over EVERYTHING. Yeah, dogs shed, but a shorthair doesn't cause many problems with that. Cats can't go hunting with you or walk around the block. They don't come to the door and greet you when you come home from work. They don't warn off or bite intruders. Cats are just plain useless. Kittens are cute and cuddly, but when they mature they get that attitude that I just can't stand. They make me want to wring their necks. We have a feral cat at work that sits at the base of the gun tower and hollers all night unless you pour water or spit on him. I'd like to take the Mini-14 and shoot him, but I want to keep my job. You can keep your damned cats.

Uh, before this thread gets totally off track (How did this one turn into a dog/cat fight? Maybe we could get into a Democrat/Republican thing in the next few posts under this topic of dog name suggestions. Geez.)
Dog trainers I've worked with suggest one-syllable names. Preferably starting with a hard consonant. Give it a sharp sound that will get the dog's attention, whether near or far. Long names are fine. Just make sure that you abbreviation or contraction of it meets these requirements.

Gun related?
How 'bout:
•JB for John Browning (or Jim Beam - Either one'll work)
•BJ for Bill Jordan
•Chester (short for Winchester)
•Sam for Sam Colt
•Gasten
•Browning
•Nipple? (for you muzzleloaders)
•Flash (As in flash-pan...)
•Case
My last dog was Jake. One before that was Rebel.
My parents once had 2 dogs: Brandy and Alexander. Before that, they had J.D.

Not directly gun related but examples of object lessons:
Azinpi (The Lakota name given to Isiah Dorman)-Extreme example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason.
Tesla (Would work for either sex)-Unsung hero.
Bikila (Abebe Bikila) Guts,pure and simple. Some will recognize him as the barefoot runner from Ethiopia, but only a very small few will remember his entering into the Wheelchair Olymics.

I once had a Malmute/sheppard mix that I named "Dunkirk". I thought it had a nice ring to it.
Kevin, you're not the only cat lover here. I like 'em too, better than dogs. It's that independent attitude that I like; none of that simpering slavishness.
