Popular Male Dog Names

Getting a new dog is a fun and exciting time, but there’s one thing I always struggle with — picking out the perfect dog name. It sounds simple enough, yet the process always stresses me out. It’s hard enough coming up with a bunch of name ideas on the spot, but finding one that sounds good, fits their personality and that the whole family agrees on? Well that’s a pretty tall order.

My trick? When I need help coming up with name ideas I browse through baby & dog name lists for inspiration. I write down all the names I like, then move onto the really hard part — finding one that the whole family agrees on.

Now I can’t help you predict what name your family will agree on, but I can help you come up with plenty of male dog names to get you started. I’ve put together a list of 500 of my favorite boy dog names for inspiration. From classic dog names like Benji to trendy names like Loki, here’s 500 popular male dog names.

What Do You Look For When Choosing a Dog Name?

What are some of your favorite male dog names? When it comes to picking out dog names what do you look for? Do you prefer names that are short and simple, or do you look for names that fit your dog’s personality? Do you have a strict “no human names allowed” rule? Let me know in the comments below.

Now when it comes to my dog Laika I really lucked out — I managed to find a name that was short, fit her personality, and had an interesting story behind it. She’s named after the first mammal to orbit earth — a stray dog named Laika. I thought it was a cute name (pronounced Like-uh), and since it was tied to space it passed the hardest test of all — getting approval from my boyfriend 🙂

    I have a female Boston Terrier/Pit named Lucy-Fur. My male Great Dane/Pit is Boogie. My male Pittie is Goose, and we’re adding a new Pittie to our family. I’m pretty sure his name will be either Duck-Duck, or Quinoa Wasabi (Kemosabe).

    i have a no human name rule, and the dogs are named on personality, coloring, my relationship to them (i have an injured dog i care for she has a foreign name for slave as i am her slave caring for her), and all dogs have names i’m sure the AKC has never heard of.

    cevakavich makap, cevaka nepolerenee nemedved, cevaka volk are a few of my g shepherd names. I also have colonneh, shadow, athenius (human name but this dog worked miracles), starbuck from moby dick and such.

    I like These male dog names such as Boo, Boko, Bruno, Ace, Ceder, Coco, Coffey Thor, Theo, Bailey, Tucker, Baxter etc. Aim for 2 syllable names that don’t sound like common commands. Really very catchy and good names lists are shared that will surely help to choose perfect names for dow owners.
