Top 14 Most Clever Names for Designer Dogs – 24. September, 2019

When you hear the word “designer,” what do you think of? Perhaps you picture a posh clothing boutique or a fancy hair salon. The word designer is often used to describe something of quality but it can be confusing when it is applied to dogs. The term designer dog is often used to describe mixed breeds like the Labradoodle and the Goldendoodle. If you have a designer dog, consider giving him one of these clever names:

  1. Pap Smear – This name would be the perfect fit for a mixed breed that combines a Papillion with a Samoyed and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
  2. Shocker – For a combination involving a Cocker Spaniel and a Shepherd, the name Shocker is a great fit for a dog who always seems to be getting into trouble.
  3. Bagel – Not just a name for a tasty pastry, the name Bagel would be fitting for a combination of a Basset Hound and a Beagle.
  4. Rocker – If you’re a fan of music and you have a mixed breed dog that has Cocker Spaniel and Retriever blood, Rocker could be a fun name!
  5. Boggle – Both a fun word game and a clever dog name, this name would be fitting for a dog with Boston Terrier and Beagle heritage.
  6. Dorky – This silly name would be a great fit for a dog that is a cross between a Dachshund and a Yorkie (Yorkshire Terrier).
  7. Noodle – The ideal name for a Poodle crossed with a Newfoundland, this dog name is both clever and funny. It’s perfect for a dog with a silly personality as well.
  8. Blabador – Perfect for the dog who never stops barking, this name is a clever combination of the Bloodhound and Labrador Retriever breeds.
  9. Chiapet – Inspired by the popular figurine from the 80s that sprouted hair, the name Chiapet would be apt for a combination of a Chihuahua and a Whippet.
  10. Smooch – A clever name for a cross between a Smooth Fox Terrier and a Chow Chow, the name Smooch would be perfect for a dog who loves to give kisses.
  11. Derriere – For a dog who has a lot of junk in the trunk, the name Derrier is particularly fitting for a cross between a Deerhound and a Terrier.
  12. Poinsetter – The perfect name for a Pointer crossed with a Setter, the name Poinsetter is clever and fitting for someone who loves the Christmas holiday.
  13. Keester – If you have a Keeshond and Setter mix who is lazy to a fault, the name Keester might be both funny and fitting.
  14. Peekasso – For a cross between a Pekingese and a Lhasa Apso, this name is inspired by the great artist Picasso who, like your dog, was an individual.

When it comes to naming your dog, there are a number of different avenues you can take.

12 Cutest Names for a Toy Dog Breed – 13. November, 2018

Toy-breed dogs are small – that’s why they’re called toys but just because your dog is small doesn’t mean that he can’t have a big personality. If you want to give your dog a name that fits his size, however, choose something cute. Here are our top twelve picks in cute names for toy breed dogs:

  1. Shorty – Both an accurate description of many small-breed dogs and an affectionate term, Shorty is a cute and sweet name for a toy breed dog.

  3. Pippin – This name is a reference to a character from The Lord of the Rings. Pippin was one of the Hobbits who helped take the ring to Mordor.
  4. Pint – In addition to being a unit of liquid measurement, the word pint is also used to describe things that are small – another option is half pint.
  5. Button – This name works particularly well for toy breed dogs for two reasons. For one thing, buttons are very small. Second, toy breed dogs are cute as a button!
  6. Teeny – Though this name may conjure up images of a yellow polka-dot bikini, it is also a cute name for a toy breed dog who is as teeny-tiny as they come.
  7. Cupcake – When you think of food items that you could describe as cute, a cupcake should definitely be on the list. These little pastries are also a great inspiration for a cute toy breed dog name.
  8. Morsel – A morsel is another word for a small piece of food or a mouthful – it’s also a clever name for a small dog. If you want to take things literally, your toy breed dog could easily be a mouthful for a larger dog.
  9. Pixie – A pixie is a supernatural being from folklore that is typically portrayed as a very small humanlike figure with pointed ears. This name is particularly fitting for a little dog with a mischievous nature.
  10. Bonsai – This word is used for miniature ornamental trees and shrubs that are artfully trimmed to stay small. Bonsai would be a particularly fitting name for a dog breed of Asian origin.
  11. Squirt – If you’re looking for a cute and silly name that also fits your toy breed dog’s small size, Squirt is an option to consider.
  12. Munchkin – Though this name is also given to the characters from The Wizard of Oz, it is also used to describe someone who is very short or small, making it the perfect name for your toy breed dog.

Choosing the perfect name for your new dog is not a decision to take lightly. There are many ways you can go with a dog’s name from traditional to out-of-the-box. If you want a dog name that fits your dog to a tee, choose a cute name that works well for a toy breed like the twelve names above.

Top 10 Religious-Themed Dog Names – 25. January, 2018

Naming your dog can be both fun and challenging, especially if you want to go with something outside the box. Instead of naming your dog after his color or going with a cliché dog name, take the time to do some brainstorming – you never know what you might come up with! If you’re looking for some interesting ideas for dog names, consider these twelve religious-themed dog names:

  1. Eli – The Hebrew word for “my God,” Eli would make a great religious-themed name for a male dog. In the Bible, Eli was a judge and priest who served the lord – he was good and true, just like your dog will be to you.
  2. Delilah – From the story of Samson and Delilah, this is a wonderful name for a female dog. Delilah may have betrayed Samson in the story but your Delilah will be faithful and loyal to you for the entirety of her life.
  3. Gabriel – Inspired by the archangel himself, Gabriel is a wonderful religious-themed dog name for a male dog. This name invokes an image of power and grace, so it might be good for a larger dog or simply for a dog who has an angelic personality.
  4. Sarah – A great religious-inspired name for a female dog, the name Sarah has many religious ties. In the Bible, Sarah was the faithful wife of Abraham who followed him wherever he went and served him well.
  5. Magi – The Magi from the Bible were also known as the three wise men who welcomed the baby Jesus into the world. If you’re looking for a religious-themed dog name for a dog who seems wise beyond his years, Magi is a great name to consider.
  6. Genesis – The very first book of the Bible, Genesis is a great name for a male or female dog. The book of Genesis tells the story of the world and how it began, so it might be a fun name for a dog if it is the first dog you’ve ever owned.
  7. Hope – Though not limited to any one religion, Hope is something everyone wants to believe in and it’s a great name for a female dog.
  8. Angel – Ideal for a female dog but also applicable for sweet male dogs, the name Angel is a great choice for religious-themed dog names. Give this name to a dog who is gentle, kind, and loving.
  9. Titus – A companion of the apostle Paul in the Bible, Titus was a faithful believer who served with all his heart. If you’re looking for a religious-themed name for a male dog, Titus is a great option.
  10. Grace – The name Grace isn’t tied to any one religion and it’s a great name for a female dog who loves you with all her heart and who would do anything to see you happy.

When you bring your dog home for the first time, don’t feel like you have to give him a name right away – there is nothing wrong with spending a little time together until you get a feel for his personality. The more time you spend with your dog, the more you will get to know him and that will make it easier to choose the perfect name. If you are considering a religious-themed name for your new dog, think about one of the twelve names listed above!

Top 10 Names for Black Dogs – 6. December, 2017

When it comes to choosing a name for your dog, there are many different ways you could go. You could choose a name that fits your dog’s breed or one that speaks to his personality – you could also go with a traditional dog name or even a family name. Another way to choose the perfect name for your dog is to go with something that matches his physical characteristics – here are our top ten picks in names for black dogs:

  1. Adham – This is a male Arabic name that comes from the Arabic word for “black”. The English name Adam comes from the Hebrew word for man, another reason why this is a good name for a male dog.
  2. Bear – Inspired by the mighty black bear, this name would be particularly fitting if your dog is large and furry. This name might also be fitting if your black dog is a gentle giant.
  3. Jetta – Though it is also the name of a car model, Jetta is also a name that translates from the Latin for “jet black”. Jet is also a type of dense, black coal that can be polished and used to make jewelry.
  4. Cerin – This name comes from the Gaelic for “little dark one” so it might be a good name for a small breed dog that is black in color.
  5. Obsidian – Obsidian is a type of volcanic glass that forms when lava is quickly cooled and it is known for its rich black color. If you have a black dog who doesn’t have a hint of white or color in his coat, Obsidian might be the perfect name.
  6. Inky – The implications of this name are obviously a reference to black ink. If your dog is black in color and his coat has a smooth, silky quality to it then Inky might be the perfect name.
  7. Kala – A wonderful name for a female black dog, the name Kala comes from the Hindi word for “black”. In the Hindu religion, Kala is also the god of time, though he is also the god of destiny, fate, and death.
  8. Leila – This name comes from the Arabic for “dark as night” and it would make a great name for a black female dog. It can also be translated to mean “dark beauty” in Persian.
  9. Midnight – This is the time of night when the world is dark and everything is quiet – it is also a great name for a black dog.
  10. Nero – This name comes from the Latin for “dark” or “black-haired,” making it the perfect name for your black dog. Nero is also the name of a Roman emperor who reigned from AD 54 to 68.

The perfect dog name is one that just seems to fit your dog. If you are having trouble picking a name that works, you might be thinking too hard – try something simple like the ten names above which are great for black dogs.

Top 10 Flower or Tree Names for Dogs – 30. May, 2017

Picking the perfect name for your dog can be quite a challenge, especially if you haven’t gotten to know him or her yet. It takes time to learn about your dog’s personality so you can choose the best name possible. If you need some help coming up with ideas to test out, consider naming your puppy after your favorite flower or tree.

  1. Rose – A rose is a beautiful flower that comes in a wide variety of colors and while they appear delicate, they often have thorns. Rose would be a fitting name for a dog that has a sweet personality but won’t hesitate to defend herself or her family.
  2. Daisy – The daisy is a member of the sunflower family and while they are typically white in color, they can be yellow, purple, or pink as well. If your puppy has a sweet and mild-mannered personality, a dainty name like Daisy could be the right choice.
  3. Lily – The lily is a large flower that has long, white petals. These flowers are very beautiful in an almost exotic way so Lily might be a good name for a rare or exotic dog breed.
  4. Ivy – Ivy is neither a tree nor a flower, but it is still a lovely plant. One thing to be wary of with ivy is that it will grow on anything and everything, just like your puppy will grow on you!
  5. Maple – The maple tree is strong and proud and it produces a thick, sweet syrup. If you have a dog who has a sweet and sugary personality, the name Maple might be the perfect fit.
  6. Willow – The willow tree is known for its long, slender branches which bend and flow with the wind. If you have a dog who is very patient, always going with the flow, the name Willow might suit him or her perfectly.
  7. Blossom – The name blossom is attached to many flower plants and trees like the beautiful cherry blossom or the apple blossoms that bloom in spring. No matter which one you choose to name your puppy after, Blossom is a beautiful name.
  8.  Clover – This name belongs to the small green plant which has three, or sometimes four leaves. Clover is often considered an Irish name but it can be given to any puppy you are lucky enough to own.
  9. Primrose – The primrose is a small flowering plant that tends to grow in clumps. These flowers are rather dainty but in the right conditions they grow like weeds. If you have a puppy who seems shy at first but blossoms once you get to know her, Primrose might be a good name.
  10. Buttercup – This little flower is named for its butter-yellow color and it could be a great name for a puppy with a golden coat and a sweet personality.

When it comes to naming your puppy, there are plenty of paths to take but you should consider naming him or her after something you lose. The top ten flower and tree-inspired puppy names listed above are a great place to start.
