New dog name

[Rocky Hill Angler]

I a picking up a 2 yr old male black lab shelter dog today. He does not have a name quite yet. I envision him being my "old fishing dog" some day and think he needs an appropriate name. I live in Ithaca NY these days, and some of my favorite times were spent fishing and hiking in the Smokies. Anyone got a good smokies fly fishing dog names?

Current names for family debate including fishing/old man names:
Townsend,
Winston,
Fin,
Sam,
Otis,
Porter,
Max,
Willie,
Bill.

Thanks in advance.

I think smoky is taken.

How about Rhodo for all the Rhododendron prevalent along the Smokey Streams?

I have long thought that the name "Tremont" would be cool for a dog.

I've always preferred to spend a couple of days getting to know a new dog before giving him/her a permanent name. That way you can find a name that fits the dog and not try to make the dog fit a particular name. Somehow the dog will let you know what its name should be.

I think Enloe would have a nice ring to it.

Ramsay, Lester, or Meigs if it's a girl.

If you have a bad sense of humor - Maybe Paw Paw, or Cat Stair's (or Stares)

how about Brookie or Speck or Leader or Tippet.

Then again and it doesn't have anything to do with fishing unless the dog may cause some during a trip, but I like the "Mayhem". It's a good name for a standout linebacker in football,,, but it could work for a dog.
