We've had to name our fair share of puppies and we get asked all the time about our dog names and naming process so we thought we would put together the ULTIMATE list of dog names for our clients (and other dog lovers alike). This will be an ongoing list of names as popular names change (but we all know the classic names will never go out of style!). We've categorized the names for you to help you decide.
Here are the steps we take when deciding on a puppy name:
1). Look at your puppy's appearance - is there anything specific that jumps out to you? Size, color, etc. Is your dog a tough dog or a cute dog (or a tough dog in a cute dog's body??). Does your dog look rough and tough or sweet and cuddly?
2). Evaluate your puppy's personality and energy level - are they high energy or low energy? Couch potato or hot rod? You probably wouldn't name a low energy puppy "Twitch" while naming a high energy puppy "Droopy".
3). What kind of name do YOU want? Are you into music or movies? Do you like to adventure or kick back and relax? You want your dog's new name to match your personality as well!
4). The ultimate (and in our opinion, most comical) criteria for picking your dog's name is what kind of a name would you feel comfortable calling out loud in public (say, at the dog park)? Make sure you won't embarrass yourself in the neighborhood when you are calling your dog back into the house!
Without further adieu, here are (drumroll please!) 500 (that's right...hundred) dog names for our ULTIMATE list of dog names for your favorite pal!
