Unique And Fun Boy Dog Names

There is nothing quite like the companionship of a male dog. Loyal, faithful, fun, and at times fierce, these lovable creatures work every day to earn the title of “man’s best friend.” But what do you call man’s best friend, especially when there are a bevy of great boy dog names to choose from? There are some great trends out there for giving your furry companion a unique and fun name.

Gone are the days when all boy dog names were boring and generic. Spot, Lucky, and Killer are no longer en vogue and for good reason – with so many great names out there, why would anyone stick to these worn to death and bland options? One of the great new trends for male dog names is the trend of naming your dog after a famous video game character. More than female dogs, male dogs lend themselves to these great names. Think about how cute it would be to have a boy dog named after the Super Mario Brothers characters, like Mario, or Luigi, or even Bowser. You could also choose something fun like Sonic, for Sonic the Hedgehog or Link from the Legend of Zelda franchise. Any of these names are great fits, just stay away from names like Modern Warfare! Similar to video game names are cartoon names. Can’t you picture a little terrier named Papa Smurf, Scooby or Scrooge McDuck? Here’s a cartoon quick tip: stick with nineteen-eighties or nineteen-nineties cartoons for the best and most recognizable names.

Another great trend for male dog names is old fashioned gentlemen’s names, like Reginald, Edward, or Linus. There is something ironic and cute about having a dog, especially a small dog, given a name with such importance and stature. You can make these names even cuter by turning them into full names and adding titles, like Lord Reginald Buntington the Third or Sir Linus Kensington. Not only does this make for a very unique introduction, but these names also look great on dog tags or embroidered collars.

If you have several male dogs, a fun option is to name them as a unit that represents a theme. For example, you may wish to call your pair of beagles Lee and Grant, or your three retrievers Winken, Blinken, and Nod. Choosing a set of names that revolves around an easily distinguishable theme can be a great way to share a little bit of your interests or personality with others in a unique way. However, it is recommended that you refrain from choosing themes that are flash in the pan fads and will quickly lose relevance. While it might seem like a good idea to name your dogs after the cast members of the Jersey Shore, in five or ten years that reference maybe lost on people. That would leave you stuck with two Chihuahuas named Pauly D and the Situation for no reason.

Male dogs occupy a special place in our hearts, which is why they should be given unique and special names. There are hundreds of options available when it comes to boy dog names, and it is important to pick one that not only brings you joy but also suits your pet. Dogs can live up to fifteen years, and it is vital to give your male dog a name that will last both him and you proudly his whole life. Good rules of thumb are to keep it fun, keep it clean, and keep popular culture references evergreen. Don’t do a trendy name unless that trend is tried and true!
