Whether you’re about to get your very first dog or you’re adding a new member to the family, there are so many names for dogs to choose from that it can be tough to know where to begin. The truth is that some cool dog names only suit particular breeds of dogs – it would be weird to call a 100-pound Great Dane Bonnie, or call a tiny chihuahua Bandit. Indeed, you’ll need to peruse a list of boy dog names and puppy names to get the right dog name for your breed, and you must also consider your dog’s personality before you choose their name.
What to look for in a boy dog name?
When choosing the right name for your boy dog, there are lots of things you need to take into consideration. It must be cute, reflect your dog’s personality, and it must be memorable. Other than that, anything goes! You can play it safe and choose a generic name like Jasper, or you can be a little adventurous and choose a name that nobody else would have chosen.
Unusual dog names
If you’re looking for something a little more unusual, then consider something that is special to you. Perhaps you found your doggie in a dumpster, so you can call him Dumpy, or maybe he loves to bark when you go out for a walk, so call him Barker. If you’re buying a new male puppy for your loved one, then you should consider a name that means something to the both of you. If you both love Star Wars, for example, then cute boy dog names like Darth and Chewy and Greedo should also be contenders. Circle it back to what you know and love – the best part about owning a dog is that you get to choose his name, but try to be sensible!
Think about taking your dog for a walk – if he’s disobedient you’ll have to call his name, and that won’t be fun if you’ve got a dog with an unusual, embarrassing or downright offensive dog name. If you must go for something unusual, then think of a nickname that you can use when you want to call for your dog – that way, he’ll know when it’s time to come back to you!
