100 DOG NAMES
If you have just brought your new puppy or dog home, you’re probably getting to the stage where it’s time to decide on a new name for the recent addition to your family. Choosing a unique dog name can be quite a difficult task and not one that should be taken lightly. Once your dog has learned his new name, suddenly changing it is not a viable option so it is essential that you get it right the first time. Remember, the name you choose is with your dog for life.
Why not try to think of something unique to name your dog? Try not to stick with run of the mill names but choose something that will make your pooch stand out from the crowd. It’s time to get creative!
There are several things you need to consider when choosing a unique dog name. It is no good giving a Great Dane a name like ‘Peanuts’ or a Chihuahua a name like ‘Buster’ or ‘Butch’. Follow these guide lines to find the perfect name for your dog.
Your Dogs’ Appearance
Take a long hard look at your new dog. Is there anything about his appearance that lends towards a certain name? Obvious choices are ‘Goldie’ for a Labrador Golden Retriever or ‘Patch’ for a Jack Russell Terrier. These are obvious choices and I’m sure you could be more creative. What about ‘Popeye’ for a Bull Terrier or ‘Tyson’ for a Boxer?
100 DOG NAMES – Your Dogs’ Character
When your dog has been with you for a few days, you will notice that he shows certain characteristics. Some dogs are very lively and boisterous whilst some can be very shy and introvert. Some dogs are very vocal whilst others you never hear a sound from. Use this to help decide on a unique name.
Make Sure You Can Be Heard
Whatever you decide, make sure the name you choose is easily distinguishable from background noise and does not sound similar to common commands you may use with your dog. The reason for this is that if you are walking your dog in a park or crowded place, you need a clear name to call not something ambiguous. Examples are, ‘Joe’ or ‘Boe’ which could easily be confused with ‘No’. Avoid any names that may sound similar to ‘Sit’ ‘Stay’ ‘Fetch’ ‘Down’ etc. Make sure your dog doesn’t have a hard time understanding your intentions.
Also make sure you choose a name that you would be comfortable calling out in a public place. Novelty names are all well and good but if embarrassment prevents you from calling your dog, you’ve chosen a poor name. Calling out ‘Pixie Angel Dust’ at the top of your voice may lead to some funny looks!
Using the Media for Inspiration
An often overlooked resource for dog names is Magazines and Television. A quick flick through any magazine will provide no end of potential names for your dog. Perhaps you loved cartoons as a child? You could choose your favorite cartoon character as a name for your dog. There are thousands of possibilities.
Choosing a unique name for your dog can be great fun and something the whole family can join in with. It will give the new member of your family the unique identity he so deserves.

Pocketful of Names $3.46 "Coomer writes so well, with such freshness and authenticity, that we hate to put the book down." –"The Boston Globe" The first thing Hannah said to the dog: "I don’t know if there’s enough room for you on this island. I’m already here." Inhabiting an island off the coast of Maine left to her by her great-uncle Arno, Hannah finds her life as a dedicated and solitary artist rudely interrupted one summer when a dog, matted with feathers and seaweed, arrives with the tide. The dog quickly endears himself and easily adapts to Hannah’s habits, but he is only the first in a series of unexpected visitors. He is soon followed by a teenager running from an abusive father, a half sister in trouble, a mainland family in need, and a trapped whale. Now in the midst of a community that depends on her for support and love, Hannah faces new emotional challenges as family secrets are uncovered, each one more alarming than the next. In his latest novel, Joe Coomer offers the rugged yet stunning beauty of Maine and the lobstermen and their families who are tethered to the sea for survival. "Pocketful of Names" is a deeply human tale about the unpredictability of nature, art, family, and whatever else washes up on the shore. |
