Archie. He's red, and when he's being naughty you can whip out the full name ("*Archibald*, drop that sock")
You could do this with Teddy/Theodore too, but there's sooo many Teddies.
Polly, he looks like such a polite and nice good boi.
Either way, don't rush to name them. Once you get to know them a little bit they name themselves. I have often seen that dog parents ignore the originally planned name and go with a new one that comes out of their personality at a later time.
..That’s what I was thinking! We did the same with our last family dog- waited a bit.. and hell even my son! (We didn’t have his name pinned down until discharge day!)
The kennel owners were asking if I had one yet because I believe, as they’re potty training and taking them outside, they want to go ahead and start calling them their names if possible. But.. I just don’t want to nail one down yet for the reason you say, agreed!
That’s crazy it translates and comes across in this short vid…! We had 2nd pick and were drawn to his more relaxed, polite demeanor over his brothers.. very much matches the tone of our family.

My 6yr old is absolutely thrilled. Puppy is still at his kennel w its mommy & litter, awaiting pickup after the 4th. So far, we’ve thought of Tucker, Oliver, Charlie and Montana. (Our last family dog was Dakota) Was thinking of incorporating something with the meaning ‘red’ since he is a field bred red golden retriever..? Internet retriever owners- grease my wheels, help me out and toss me your best name ideas! 😃

We have our own serious red golden, his name is Charles / Chuck, so I’m partial to Charlie on your list.
But I’ve got a whole list of red themed / red adjacent names:
Cherokee (Indian blanket/paintbrush flower, also the color used in a lot of southwest architecture)
Cosmo (also a flower)
Cardinal or Robin
Cinnabar (a mineral, I like it better than Cinnamon and you could call him Cinna).
Cordovan, a very masculine, luxurious shade of red brown. Cordie as a nickname.
Copper, maybe a little overused.
Jasper (a red gemstone)
Phoenix
Rioja
Rowan
Rusty
My dog’s name is Redford. He’s named for Robert Redford who was strawberry blond, like my dog. Then I got a red field golden who was much darker, and people don’t understand why he isn’t the one named Redford. You could name him Redford, or you could name him after a redhead, like Ron Weasley, or Ed Sheeran.
We have a golden retriever/yellow lab mix named Oliver. He is indeed great

TOOO CUUUUTEEE THE CUTENESS OVERLOAD AWWW 😍😍😍😍😍
Fred or Charlie
I was gonna say Fred!
Tucker or Rufus
Yes, he totally looks like a Tucker!
Came here to say Tucker.
Aren’t there enough golden retriever Tuckers?
Yeah, but the more the better they say
Came to say Tucker lol
Wow so original
Archie. He's red, and when he's being naughty you can whip out the full name ("*Archibald*, drop that sock") You could do this with Teddy/Theodore too, but there's sooo many Teddies.
Megatron 😎
Ah yes. Snarlock 'Megatron' Bjork. Great name for a great golden pupper.
Finnegan. Finn for short
Came to say this he looks like a Finn!
Finny!!!
Teddy
He looks like a little teddy bear. This is the way
He is very serious! He needs an equally serious name. I suggest Roy (for Roy Kent of Ted Lasso).
We had a very serious Jacob.
Kevin. He looks like a Kevin
Charles
They all do
Clifford
Maxwell

Sure looks like a Gus to me :)
That’s a great name. You can call him Gus Gus, like the fat mouse in Cinderella.
Butter
I was thinking Butters.
Reggie. 🩵
Winston he looks like a Winston
Goose
Rufus (seconding earlier post), Rubeus or Rubens are Latin derivatives of red.
Aw!! My sweet boy pup had an orange collar also!!
Cutie Patootie Wootie Pie Baby Cakes 🥹💛 But fr, I had a boy named Riley. Love that name
Rosco P. Coltrane
I had a dog just like him but my little baby died...... his name was bones
Louie
Howard
Martin/Marty
He seems polite & earnest (no name suggestions, but you have plenty already)

Fox
Tucker
Remington / Remy
Chester

Kincaid. End of story.
My old male golden we had was named crew he was the only blonde one in a litter of reds. So I’ve always loved the name crew.
Murray or Murphy
Duke
I do like Duke! (That was my papa’s dogs name) Duke & Hank seem like good older dog names..
Benny 🐾
The end of the video reminded me of the WW2 meme “Kilroy was here” 👊🐶👊
Francis
Independence. “ Indy”.
Tofu

Oh I like this! Full name Redford.. Red for short. (Robert when he is in trouble!)
I vote for Oliver, sounds like a great name for a pup
