I love older names, I already have an Aggie, Ivy but fancy another old name:
I love Connie or Violet, mabel but people say they are too long or not suitable for a GR. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated please.

Dotty, Doris.  Look at a few pugs and see names for them as they seem to go for old fashioned names.

Alice, Gerty, Flora :-) Florence, (shortened to Flori) Betty, Sylvie, Piper (old english name) Molly, Minnie.

Probably 100's more, but have to go out now. Have fun choosing a name. :-)

Mavis, I think it's a great name :-)

My golden girl is called Heidi

My golden girl is called Heidi

Peggy...Nora.....Matilda...Hortense (not sure about that one but hey).....Eliza.....Daphne...Delia...Violet....a friend of mine has a Stafford called Dinah....

Dulcie or Martha.

Love the name Gertie and Martha, forgot to add I already have a Flora. Thank you all xxx

My little girl (human !) is called Elsie and she has a cousin Mabel.  I know an Irish called Martha.

Martha is my favourite! I love old fashioned names for GRs, our old Golden was a George.

I love Mabel!!

My suggestion is Dorcas- it's an old name and also an early Golden line.

Best wishes.

> I love Connie or Violet, mabel but people say they are too long or not suitable for a GR.

Don't care too much what other people think - it's your choice and you are living with it (her)!  I think Connie and Mabel are lovely names :)

Violet if pronounced properly is a little longer but your other choices are simple 2 syllable names so always going to be easy to shout in a field...

Have fun choosing (I always think 'girl' names for dogs are easier than boys)

i love old names,my little girls are edith rose and lily kathleen, i like betty,dorethy,lillian,lilly anne,kath,dotty,annie,edna,margaret,wilma,willamina,rose,rosalia,regan,gosh i am getting carried away now,sorry!!

you are right there perrodeagua,my pug was rupert and i have a pug called george x

Bessie :)

I agree with Dogs-a-babe, you should go with what YOU like, regardless of what other people say! Over the years, a very good friend has always criticised the names I choose for my dogs. I don't care- I like them!!

I think Mabel is a lovely choice.

I have a Bessie an Olive, oh and a George. So all quite old fashioned.

I think Blanche is a good one, i did used to try and give my dogs irish names and my favourite was Teagan which means beautiful . . . .which she was of course.

Maud

I really like Ada!  They're all fab suggestions though, good luck choosing :-D

Oh dear, what lovely names you have all put forward, in a quandry now between
Edith
Dorcas
Martha
Maud, I like them all actually, I have a Grace also. I like the 2 syllable names too as I need something quick and easy to say on the field and for training.
Think they will all end up in a hat and what is picked with be her name like I did for my Hamish who should have been Ferdie if I had my choice.

> I have a Bessie an Olive, oh and a George. So all quite old fashioned.

Olive.... I have wanted a dog called Olive for years in memory of my grandmother!

We have a hattie  in the family she is a goldie  calls well in the field or maudie

Gladys :-)

Gladys the Golden

I have Nora, Matilda and Pollyanna, and I called one of my recent pups Doris (before she went to her new home)

> mabel but people say they are too long

:-)   I had a couple last year that had a girl from me that they called Mabel! 

I love mabel. It always reminds me of an old farm BC that is constantly glued faithfully to her masters side.

Friends of ours have a Italian Spinone called Connie, suits her so well :) Winnie would be a good name for a GR, nice old name as well.

Hilda
Bella
Nora
Gladys

Just some!

We have a Mabel (Boston)and a Betty (Boxer) but i also love Elsie x

I have a Mabel, my young bullmastiff girl,it really suites her. I love the old names for the bulies. Heres a few more Gertrude (Gertie) Florence (Flo), Edna, Ada, Doris, Dot, Bertha, Agnes, Martha.

I like Alice

mabel

I have Ruby and Lottie now - but in the past have had Cindy, Judy, Jessie and Daisy.

My aunt had a Poodle called Nancy, who was named after her sister!!

Maisie

> Maud, I like them all actually, I have a Grace also. I like the 2 syllable names too as I need something quick and easy to say on the field and for training.

The Maud I know is called Maudie, or Maudie Maud and it suits her so well :-)

The first goldie girl names were Cowslip,Primrose,and Ada.

Or Bess,Bena,Fern,Maude,Queenie,Rose.

we have a Mabel and think it's great, although someone did say it sounds like you are shouting at your granny all the time!!!!  also love Blanche and wanted to call our new puppy Olive but OH said he couldnt shout Olive at her when out for walks so she ended up with Belle(short for Isabelle) which is lovely too.

Esme is really nice or how about Fleur to compliment Flora :)

> wanted to call our new puppy Olive but OH said he couldnt shout Olive at her

I had chosen Olive before we had chosen the dog lol, hubby didn't really get a say. Although when we first saw her she seemed to have the biggest eyes out of all the litter so he likened her to Olive from 'on the busses'. So the name seemed to fit. She does get called Ollie alot of the time.
Bessie is shortened to Bess, and George is abbreviated to 'Naughty dog'.
I had earmarked 'Blanche' for our next one (hopefully a GSP if i get my way), but on reading all the suggesions here im begining to like Maude. We'll see.

Im sure whatever you choose will be lovely, its almost always best to go with your first instinct.

I do like Bessie too. I had a Bessie, she was Bessie-Boo!!!

There is always Prudence!

> There is always Prudence!

I have a Prunella and her sisters were Prundence and Pricilla.

I like Octavia and Ophelia.

betsy
dora

what about Pandora.  The Pandora I knew was an absolute sweetie and Dora sounds even more old fashioned.

Elsie.... for any bitch I might have in the future, except for a Dalmatian who would be Dorothy.....

My mum has just called her Irish blue pup 'Peggy'!!!

haha

I have a Pandora, Dora for short. My granddaughter calls her Dora the Explorer lol

What about naming her after a Golden Girl? Blanche, Dorothy, Rose :)
