Naming your dog can be a fun, but it’s also a decision many of us struggle with. We want a dog name that sounds good, fits their personality, and one that the whole family can agree one. Finding the right name that meets all of those criteria? Well that can be a challenge.

My trick? I check out baby name lists. I’ve used one every time I’ve had to name a new pet, and they always give me inspiration. And one of my favorite themes is using old fashioned (and historical) names. (my dog Laika is named after the first mammal to orbit Earth)

Are you a fan of classic dog names? Looking for an old fashioned name for your dog? If so you’ve come to the right place; this list is full of classic & vintage inspired dog names to choose from. Here’s 500 old fashioned dog names.

Tip: If you’re looking for even more dog names be sure to check out our list of 500 popular dog names & 500 geography inspired dog names.

Please share with your friends 🙂

Resources

Have you ever tried coming up with 500 names that fit a specific theme? It’s not quite as easy as it sounds. Although I came up with a lot of classic dog names for this list I couldn’t quite reach 500, so I turned to other name lists for help.  That credit belongs to the following sites and their great classic name lists:

  • Fit Pregnancy
  • Baby Center
  • Baby Name Boutique
  • Bark Post
  • Nameille
  • Pop Sugar

What Are Your Favorite Old Fashioned Dog Names?

Do you have any favorite old fashioned dog names? How did you name your last dog? Are you a fan of using human names for your pets? Have you ever named your dog after a historical figure? My previous dog was named Carter, so that’s a given for me. Let me know in the comments below.

    All three of my current dogs are on that list! When we adopted Theo, he already responded well to his name, so we just kept it. I generally give my dogs names that are typically considered human names, but I love meeting dogs with unusual names.

    Love old fashioned dog names!
    We named our big fluffy Great Pyre/Cattle Dog mix “Winston.”
    They were calling him “Prince” at the rescue at the time, but we’ll never know what his original name was.
    Our other favorite was “Walter.” 🐶
