Top 100 Dog Names

Dog Names

In order to give your dog a descent name, you should look at many different aspects. There are plenty of name and many of the dogs end up being called doggie or just: hey, you. Why is this so? The main reason why this happens is that owners think of a too complicated name for their dogs and then they realize it was too far fetched or too complicated.

In some other cases, people name a Yorkshire Terrier, a minute dog, Alexander the Great. I am sure you appreciate the irony, but those too fancy names do not seem to fit dogs at all. There is more to a dog than just its name. So, if you think about a name it should be something that reflects his personality and his habits.

For theses reasons, naming a very energetic dog Homer, would not sound so right. On the other hand, naming your lazy, sleepy dog Maximus, would also sound rather strange.

It is also important to consider your dog’s attitude when it comes to visitors or strangers. For example, if he is too shy or timid, naming him Gladiator would sound rather silly. Lady or similar names would sound to sissy for aggressive dogs.

There is a famous list of dog names. Let’s take a look at some of the most important ones:

Spot, although common, is not a frequent name but it is related to many famous dogs. May be in the future it will appear more. Lassie, Fido and bingo are some of the most appealing, yet common names in the list. At least, they are really wanted.

Max is very common name both for dogs and cats, and it also appears on the list. Together with this name Charlie, Percy and Duke appear as well.

When it comes to female dogs Amber, Beauty and Boogie are the top list headers.

If you think about exotic names, Bamboo, Calypso or Checkers are also some of the most special ones.

According to languages and nationalities, Comet, from the Latin is quite popular, Clyde, from Scotland is a really used name, Gigi, from the French, Gurkha from Nepal and O’Malley as an Irish version, are all present in the list. 

Wallace, Zeus, Sheba, Lea, Dante are all names that represent monumental kings and queens, monarchs both from Literature and from history, warriors and soldiers. These are the suitable names for those majestic dogs we have and regard them as such, when they are at home.
