1,000+ Boy dog names

Naming your boy dog can be difficult and you’ll need to find lots of inspiration and go through a lot of names until you find the one. Finding the right name is very important as you’ll be barking it across fields, using it on a daily basis and training your dog with it. A good name can improve your communication with your dog quite significantly.

We’ve found the best process for finding the perfect boy dog name is to go through as many as possible and shortlist a few, then consult your partner and family and see what they like.

Like baby names, boy dog names tend to trend in popularity, and you’ll see names pop up after big events such as sports events, film releases and TV shows. These are all great places of inspiration to find the perfect name for your male dog. One growing trend is giving your dog a human name such as Lucas, Thomas or Oliver and this comes out of the humanisation of dogs and now thinking of them as part of the family.

Try and stick to short names with hard consonants, names like Alfie are quite popular and are easily understood by dogs. A shorter name can make it easier for you to shout quickly and grab your dog’s attention. At the end of the day, you need to feel comfortable shouting it across a field too.

Avoid names that are very close to commands (no, sit, stay, wait, come etc.), names such as Joe or Kit sound very close to ‘no’ and ‘sit’ and would cause confusion in your dog. Also, ones to avoid are ones that are close to family members names, for example, if someone in your family is called Frank don’t call your dog Hank as it’s very close and will, again, cause confusion.

In our list of 1,000+ boy dog names, we’ve got everything from TV and film inspired names such as Scooby, Shrek and Yogi to traditional names such as Lucky, Theodore and Peanut to even unique names such as Overton, Lulworth and Enzo all nicely sorted from A to Z.
