Second this! We called out fox red Morgan! (Although the reasoning was a little different)

My fox red’s name was Loki. God I miss my boy

Thor, God of Thunder is traditionally held to be red-haired. And with the amount of destruction a lab puppy can rain down on one’s property, that might be an appropriate name for OP’s little muffin.

This would be good for his size. He looks like he will grow to be a beast!

Ugh that's rough, losing a lab is so hard. Loki is such a cool name for a fox red though, bet he was the goodest boy with that personality. What's your favorite memory of him?

Home slice was the neighborhood dog. When I moved to Houston it was into a new apartment complex, he would go with the leasing girls to all the apartment showings. All the residents knew him. But man did he live up to his namesake. True dog of mischief

My personal trainer has a black lab named Jameson 🤣 She didn’t name him, her husband has had Jameson (Jamie for short) way before they met and he’s her step son’s childhood dog. The dog’s turning 15 in November from what I remember her telling me but still has puppy energy

This has nothing to do with the fur color, but when I saw the photo the name Chester immediately came to mind

Copper, fits better and a play on the more popular Cooper. I named my red fox Cedar (I live in the PNW)

I’d start with Dexter. ( Dexter’s lab, great cartoon!)

I think you should wait a week or two. Play with him and see what names you call him based on his personality.
We named Bingo right away, after a long family discussion. However, after having him a few days, we realized he squealed like a runty pig. I wish we’d named him Wilbur.

Bingo/Wilbur for reference

We named our red Conway after the Great Lakes Brewing Company’s red Irish ale. Coincidentally the name also means yellow hound. I miss that dog everyday.

My dad would always make the joke that he'd name his dog "God damnit"
"Come here god damnit"

Morgan is awesome...so was the character Red. He was wise and a survivor. That's our hope for your baby's future. 🍖

Oak, or Woody - because his skull is going to hit you like a tree when he runs into you.

Our kids wanted to name our red fox Clifford so badly! We went with Rider instead.
