Let’s face it: naming a dog is a lot more fun than naming a baby. With a baby, you know that the recipient of your name will be judged by your choice for years to come by his classmates, investigators and dates. But with a dog, the stakes are lower. No matter what you choose, everyone will think it’s cute – so you might as well push the envelope and choose a unique dog name. After all, you don’t want every puppy in the park to answer your call.
With all the food, fictional characters and historical figures at your disposal, you are free to find the cutest and smartest name in the book. Browse our choices to choose the most unique nickname for your new best friend. These cute names will delight your friends and family and make you smile every time you call your dog’s name. Want more options? These are the best funny dog names.
