Top 10 Names for Black Dogs – December 6th, 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 Wacky Dog Names and the Meanings Behind Them – August 22nd, 2017

When it comes to naming your dog, you don’t have to go with a clichéd or a traditional name – something silly or creative can be a lot of fun! Whether you are looking for a name that is completely unique or you want something that will inspire a laugh, these top ten wacky dog names are a great place to start. You do not necessarily have to pick one of these names for your own dog, but they might inspire you to come up with something wild and wacky all your own.

  1. Baron von Furrypants – This name was given to a Labrador Retriever owned by Kathy Warren and her family. Warren decided on this name because they wanted something that sounded regal but had a fun side to it as well.
  2. Smiley Cyrus – When Crystal Coker brought her new Chihuahua puppy home she noticed the puppy’s tendency to smile, she named the dog Smiley – the addition of Cyrus to the name was included because Coker always gives her pets silly names.
  3. Abraham Lincoln Continental – This name belongs to a Catahoula-Husky mix who was adopted by a young man named Ryan. The dog’s original name was Linkin (after Linkin Park) but Ryan renamed him after Abraham Lincoln and the Ford Lincoln Continental car.
  4. Nutmeg Spice O Paris – Becky Summers was given a Pomeranian puppy from her dog breeder mother and, though she wasn’t sure she wanted a small dog, she soon fell in love. Summers named her dog Nutmeg Spice O Paris after the nutmeg color of the dog’s coat and “O Paris” is an adaptation of the dog’s bloodline, “O Paradise”.
  5. Rosie Picklebottom – When Heather Krieger asked her children what to name their new Dachshund puppy, she asked them what the dog looked like for inspiration. The kids decided that her fur had a reddish tint and her long torso looked like a pickle – thus the name Rosie Picklebottom was chosen.
  6. Hamburger Patty – This name belongs to an English Bulldog who was originally named Patty but was given the moniker Hamburger after her love for food and her hunger for making new friends. Patty gobbles up opportunities to meet new people in the same way people gobble up hamburgers.
  7. Artoo Dogtoo – This pup has a rags-to-riches story, having gone from a nameless foster dog to being adopted by Annette de Soto. Because Annette and her family already had one dog, they nicknamed the foster Dog Two which evolved into a Star Wars-inspired name, Artoo Dogtoo.
  8. Parker the Barker – One day Ron Harken was driving to Indianapolis to save a puppy mill Havanese from foster care. After obtaining the dog, Harken spent the night in a hotel where the dog barked the whole night through, earning him the name Parker the Barker.
  9. Peanut Wigglebutt – Christine Edwards brought home the runt of a Dachshund litter who had enough personality to fill ten dogs. When they first met, the puppy wagged his tail so hard he almost fell over, earning her the name Peanut Wigglebutt.
  10. Zippity Do Dawg – When Jill Hicks brought home a Queensland Heeler, her love for Disney inspired her to name the dog after a Disney tune – she chose the name Zippity Do Dawg.

The top ten wacky dog names listed above are a great place to start if you are thinking about a witty or a funny name for your new puppy. Any of these names would be a good option, especially if your puppy has a bit of a goofy side.

Top 10 Famous TV and Movie Dog Names – July 10th, 2017

As a dog owner, one of your most important jobs is choosing a name for your dog. A name is more than just something you yell when your dog is getting into trouble – it is also a description of his personality. If you need help finding the perfect name for your dog, consider some of these famous dog names from television shows and movies.

  1. Lassie – The famous TV show Lassie starred a beautiful female Collie of the same name. This show is based on a short story written by Eric Knight which was later expanded into a full-length novel and then developed into a TV show. Lassie is known for her devotion to her human friend Timmy as well as for her intelligence and resourcefulness.
  2. Benji – This name belongs to a mixed-breed dog who starred in several movies filmed between 1974 and 2000. Known for being in the right place at the right time, Benji was beloved by everyone in his community and, in the end, he was the hero of the story.
  3. Eddie – This name belongs to the cutest, furriest cast member for the show “Frasier”. Eddie was a Jack Russel terrier and, during the height of the show, he received more fan letters than any of the other cast members. Eddie’s real name was Moose and he was the runt of his litter. It only goes to show that the best things come in small packages!
  4. Stella – The French Bulldog owned by the Pritchett family in the Modern Family TV show is named Stella, though her real name is Brigitte. The original dog was replaced for the fourth season of the show by a dog named Beatrice.
  5. Snoopy – Perhaps the most famous dog in television history is Snoopy the beagle from the Charlie Brown comic strip and the associated TV program. Easy to identify for his white body and black ears, Snoopy is also easily identifiable for his goofy personality. Any dog with a love for life and a bit of a silly side would be lucky to have this name.
  6. Beethoven – This name belongs to the big, drooling St. Bernard who starred in the films of the same name. While Beethoven was known for causing trouble (largely due to his size and his clumsy nature), he was loyal to a fault and, in the end, protected his family when they needed him most.
  7. Old Yeller – Based on a 1956 Newbery Honor-winning novel by Fred Gipson, Old Yeller was made into a movie by Walt Disney in 1957. This movie follows the story of a stray dog named Old Yeller who was adopted by a boy in post-Civil War Texas. Though he eventually met an unfortunate end, Old Yeller was the most loyal canine companion ever seen.
  8. Otis – The Adventures of Milo and Otis starred an orange tabby kitten (Milo) and a pug named Otis who become best friends and accidentally get lost together which results in a great adventure as they find their way home.
  9. Hooch – Hooch is the canine companion to Tom Hanks who plays an American detective named Turner in the 1989 film, Turner and Hooch. Though he had a tendency to drool and get into trouble, this pair still managed to save the day.
  10. Brian – The dog character from the animated series Family Guy is Brian Griffin. Brian is an anthropomorphic dog who walks on his hind legs and talks just like any other member of the family.

Choosing a name for your dog is not a task to be taken lightly – it is something he will carry with him for the rest of his life. If you want to make sure that your dog’s name is just as memorable as he is, consider one of these famous dog names for your own furry friend.

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