Shocked It doesn't!!! Very Happy It means doe/gazelle - it did say that it used to be a very common name but now isn't because it can be shortened to its derogatory form - Dork! Something that Bradders knows all about! Laughing Laughing

Only joking GB!

Yellow labs are sometimes referred to as sable in French with SABLE meaning SAND in French - so yellow Wink

(and silver Labs are either crossbreeds or very poorly coloured chocolates!)
