Best 12 Puns for Dog Names – 9. January, 2019

A dog is more than just a pet, he’s a member of the family, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun naming him! A dog’s name speaks to his personality as well as yours, so take the time to choose a name you like. If you don’t want to go the traditional route or pick an overused cliché, think about going the other way with one of these twelve puns for dog names:

  1. Hairy Pawter – Inspired by the popular young adult series Harry Potter, this clever spin on the title character’s name could be a funny name for your dog. Bonus points if he really is hairy!
  2. Chewbarka – This name is inspired by Chewbacca, the Wookie from Star Wars. Not only is this name a funny pun, but it is apt for a dog as well because the inspirational character is covered in hair as well.
  3. Sherlock Bones – All your dog needs to rock this name is a pipe and a hat – even better if he has a strong nose to sniff out crime. This name is inspired by the private detective Sherlock Holmes created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
  4. Boston Powers – This name is particularly apt for a Boston Terrier and it is a reference to the movie Austin Powers. The title character is a little off his rocker, so this name is perfect for a dog who may not be the brightest bulb in the box but has a lot of fun.
  5. Mary Puppins – Inspired by Mary Poppins, this name would be a cute name for a female dog. It’s particularly fitting for a dog who spends a lot of time around children.
  6. Winnie the Pooch – This name is inspired by the children’s series Winnie the Pooh which features a honey-loving bear and his friends.
  7. Pawdry Hepburn – Known for her role in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and other movies, Audrey Hepburn was the inspiration for this pun name.
  8. William Shakespaw – If you’re a fan of literature, this take on William Shakespeare’s name might be the perfect pun name for your dog.
  9. Ally McBeagle – The main character in the American comedy series of the same name, Ally McBeal is the inspiration for this name. Ally McBeal was a young attorney who is forced to work with her ex-boyfriend in a legal-comedy that ran for 5 seasons.
  10. Jabba the Mutt – This name is a pun on Jabba the Hutt, a character from Star Wars. This name is particularly apt for a dog who has a lot of wrinkles.
  11. Scarlet O’Hairy – A reference to the main character in Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind, Scarlet O’Hairy is a great pun name for a female dog.
  12. J.K. Growling – Inspired by the Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, this name is one that everyone who hears it will understand.

Your dog lives to make you happy, so doesn’t a funny dog name seem like the perfect fit? If you want a dog name that will give you endless amusement while still speaking to your dog’s goofy personality, consider one of the top 12 punny dog names above.

Top 10 Wacky Dog Names and the Meanings Behind Them – 22. August, 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.
