The perfect name for your dog is waiting right here for you. You’ll find hundreds of awesome male dog names on this page, together with inspiration for coming up with original boy dog names that no-one else has thought of!
We’ll also show you how to create a shortlist and come up with the best male puppy name for your new friend.
How To Choose The Best Male Dog Name
Choosing names is hard and we can help you with that! It’s especially hard if you have to share that decision with other family members. With four kids in our family, there were six of us choosing new puppy names, so I feel your pain! I found some great ways for us to make that choice though, so I’ll be sharing my tips for getting the whole family to agree! Let’s start by checking out the most popular names for boy dogs that are trending right now. And then move on to searching for some more original dog name ideas.
20 Popular Male Dog Names
Here are some of the top boy dog names that are enduringly popular…
| Max | Bear |
| Duke | Cooper |
| Milo | Finn |
| Murphy | Buddy |
| Dexter | Buster |
| Harley | Bailey |
| Bentley | Ollie |
| Oscar | Simba |
| Ben | Teddy |
| Casey | Jack |
That’s just the start! We have hundreds more names waiting for you. Those popular dog names above, are lovely, timeless names, and you may end up setting for one of them. But there are some great ways to come up with more original boy dog names. The first step is to get creative and capture a ‘pool’ of ideas. For best results spread those ideas out over a large sheet of paper, or a whiteboard, or you could pin notes onto a corkboard.
If you use a whiteboard, remember to take a photo of the contents with your smartphone, just in case someone comes along and wipes out all your hard work! Once you have your paper or noticeboard ready and a pen to hand, it’s time to start finding inspiration.
TOP TIP: You’ll be more creative if you start with a clear surface – remove all your old notes first!
You’ll notice that many of those popular names above are also human baby boy names. Here are some more boy names for dogs that you might want to add to your ‘ideas’ pool
Boy Names For Dogs
| Micky | George |
| Billy | Jed |
| Cody | Gary |
| Taylor | Toby |
| Vinnie | Wilson |
If you like the idea of using a person’s name for your dog, now’s the time to start writing down your favorite boy names – don’t make a list, just jot them down randomly. Here’s why.
Brainstorming Vs Lists
List of male dog names are a great way to get inspiration, and we have a big A-Z for you below, but when you are gathering your initial pool of ideas, I think you’ll find it helpful to use a more random brainstorming technique. With lists, the items in the middle tend to get passed over. Especially if the list is a long one. Brainstorming means finding a theme and jotting down ideas around that theme. And it’s a technique that’s thought to work because it’s how our brains work too, with ideas branching off a central theme. Here’s an example of brainstorming using the theme ‘vehicles’
Cars, trucks, and motorcycles often have interesting names. I bet you can think of lots more vehicle names that would also make cool male dog names. Notice how this kind of mind map view give all the names an equal chance of getting your attention. You can then put your favorites onto you final shortlist. Here are some more names created around the theme of strength and power
Strong Male Dog Names
Names that emphasize strength are popular with large dog breeds. But they can be fun as ironic names for smaller, slimmer built dogs too. Or for owners that never miss leg day!
- Arnold
- Brute
- Blaze
- Rocket
- Clark (Superman)
- Gaston
- Wolf
- Hagrid
- Herc (Hercules)
- Dozer
- Odin
- Hulk
- Ajax
- Jordon
- Mufasa
- Shaq
- Stallone
- Tank
- Tarzan
- T-Rex
- Wolverine
Creating And Storing Ideas
Stay in creative mode for a while yet. You need a decent sized pool of names from which to make your final shortlist. So you’ll probably create several mindmaps. A great place to store these is on your phone. Just take a picture of each one for safekeeping. You’ll notice some superhero theme creeping into that list above! Sometimes one theme leads to another so don’t be afraid to grab another sheet of paper or take a photo of your whiteboard, rub it out, and start over with the new theme.
TOP TIP: Don’t try to make a decision straight away, assemble a collection of 30-50 names that you like the sound of. Let the ideas roll in! This stage is all about creativity, not about finding the perfect name.
There are an almost infinite number of themes you could use to brainstorm name ideas. From food, to films, from sporting stars to holiday destinations. Things that trigger great memories are good. Your favorite locations, near and far. The only limit is your imagination. Attributes of your dog can be great themes. Their size and color for example.
Here are some names based on size themes. You don’t have to give a big dog a big dogs name of course, it can be humourous to do a reverse and call your Chihuahua ‘Tank’.
Big male dog names
- Andre (the Giant)
- Aragog (Harry Potter series)
- Beethoven
- Big Red
- Brawny
- Eifel
- Hogan
- Johnny (Bravo)
- Mighty Joe
- Monty (short for ‘Montezuma’)
- Sequoia (‘Coy’ for short)
- Shrek
- Sully
- Vulcan
- Zeus
Small male dog names
On the opposite end of the spectrum, if your small-breed male puppy is destined to remain cutely compact, then his name might reflect his uber-adorable small size. These are popular with toy breeds, but again big breeds with tiny names are pretty adorable too. We like the following male puppy names perfect for Yorkies, Chihuahuas, and other tiny dogs, or dogs that are tiny at heart.
- Cheerio
- Chipper
- Jerry (Tom and Jerry)
- Jiminy
- Cricket
- Little Bear
- Pee Wee
- Simon
- Peanut
- Pebble
- Squirt
- Button
- Stitch
- Pickle
- Stuart (Little)
- Tot
- Theodore (‘Theo’ for short)
- Thimble
- Tiny Tim
- Tweety
If you haven’t collected 30 to 50 male dog name ideas yet, you’ll find an A-Z with hundreds of dog names at the end of this article. But maybe you are ready to make your shortlist now? Let’s look at some great ways to do that!
Making A Shortlist
If you have several theme boards, get each family member pick their two favorite names from each board, and write them down on a scrap of paper. Picking two out of many is hard! So with kids you’ll need to be both patient and persistent (setting a time limit can help here). When everyone has made their selection, the pieces of paper can all be folded and placed in a jar. Pick ten out (take turns) and pin those ten up in the kitchen for a few days before making your final choice
Name Picking Game
Another great way to narrow down your shortlist is to pin all your name choices onto a notice board, with each name on a separate note. Each day, each family member gets to remove one name – the name they like the least – from the shortlist. Until there are only three left. Leave those three names up there on the board for a few days more, and if you still can’t agree then fold them up and put them into a box, and get a friend to pick out the winner.
Funny male dog names
If humor is your thing, then choosing a funny name for your pooch could be the perfect option!
For example, you could give them a size swap name like we looked at earlier. Or name your pooch after an especially funny fictional character or TV show! Here are some satirical male puppy names that are sure to raise a few giggles:
- Acorn
- Barky McBarkstein
- Bugs (Bunny)
- Captain Underpants (‘Captain’ for short)
- Cat-Dog
- Daffy (Duck)
- Dwight
- Ernie
- Godzilla
- Herman
- Jaws
- Peanut
- Sheldon (Cooper)
- Stewie
- Woody (Toy Story)
Another fun way to name is through your pup’s good looks!
Handsome dog names for males
Is your little man devilishly handsome and charming? Is he the star of the show wherever he goes? If so, then naming him after his good looks could be fun! After all, such a feast for the eyes shouldn’t go unnoticed! You might name your handsome pooch after a famously good-looking fictional character, or perhaps a dreamy male celebrity. Here are some male puppy names that we think will perfectly complement your little prince:
- Beau
- Bond (James Bond)
- Clint (Eastwood)
- Dapper Dan (‘Dan’ for short)
- Edward (Cullen, Twilight trilogy)
- Eric (prince, The Little Mermaid)
- Fabio
- Finnick (Odair – The Hunger Games trilogy)
- Han (Solo, Star Wars)
- Mr. Darcy
- Prince Charming
- Rico Sauvé (‘Ricky’ for short)
- Smith
- Viggo (Mortensen)
- Zooko
And of course, your little boy is a big cutie…
Cute boy dog names
Cute boy puppy names don’t have to be sickeningly sweet or overly girly to get their point across. In fact, cute dog names for boys can simply be uber cute human names for two-legged boys! After all, who doesn’t love a crazy adorable puppy with an equally adorable name?
- Bubs
- Cubby
- Dobby
- Elliott
- Finley
- Happy
- Minion
- Piglet
- Pipsqueak
- Pokey
- Pooh Bear
- Puffball
- Puppers

What can be cooler than the unusual?
Unique dog names
Unique boy dog names are a lovely way to emphasize your pup’s extra special-ness! Like people, animals are unique individuals with their own quirks and things that make them so lovable! So, why not name your pup something that will make him stand out in a crowd? Unique or unusual male dog names can be inspired by the names of famous landmarks or even cities, countries, or states. Here are a few truly unique male dog names:

Nina says
I have 2 mini schnauzer. Named my girl Strudel Applebottom and my boy Fritter Applejax. Tried to go with something German that wasn’t a traditional name. Everyone loves their names. Fits their personalities perfectly. They are super sweet.
Annabelle says
We had a German Shepard called Cooper after the beer (my Dad called him that).
Allyson Bartley says
We had a Whiskey and my dad named him too!
Petsblow says
I like Juneau very much. It seems to be totally unique.
Cindy says
I have a Shih Tzu named Leo (as commented earlier). His best friend is my fiance’s Chihuahua, 1 yrs old rescued from a dirty, old, drunk in the park, and he named him C’mere (as in come here).
My best human friends has brother and sister 9 yrs old Cocker Spaniels named Mercedes and Benz.
Cindy says
My daughter gave me a Shih Tzu as a companion dog for Christmas 2 years ago. He was to be a gift to her boyfriends nephew from her mom. He was one of 3 from a litter. But one mom said No. Having moved into my first apt alone in over 30 yrs, my daughter felt I’d be happier with a friend. So they brought him to LA from Vegas. He was lethargic and had the squirts. Found out he had Parvo. My best friend and I looked up Shih Tzu’s and found their name means Little Lion. They thought he was born in late July, my daughter and I are both Leo’s. I told him if he was gonna beat Parvo, he had to pull out his inner lion. So I named him Leo. He did!! He was 4.4 lbs when I took him in and he weighed 3.3 when I got him back. Leo is now 3, healthy, and weighs 17.7 lbs! Best friend I’ve ever had!!
Denise says
Cindy i loved you and Leo’s happy ending! 🤍
It made my heart happy! Thank you for being such a special lady and taking care of little lion / leo. Ya’ll made my day.:*)
🤍🤍
Delia miyake says
We r getting a new puppy! He is a hound mix. He is tan with white paws and a white streak on his chest. Any suggestions? (No human names or super common names like Fido and bailey.)
Delia miyake says
They found him, his litter mates, and his mom chained up at someone’s front yard. Apparently, the guy who owned them was selling the puppies and the mom for 5 bucks apiece 🙁 a neighbor saw this and told the guy that he had to give her the puppies and the mom, or else she was going to call the cops. Luckily, her best friend owns an animal shelter and so her best friend took them in. They were pretty skinny, and the mom was in terrible condition. Fortunately, they found homes for everyone, even the mom!
judy says
what about ziggy
Pat says
What about Biscuit? Had a friend years ago with a great hunting dog named Biscuit.
Steve Kent says
We named our new little guy Cooper!
Holly says
Our Blue Heelers were found in a sinkhole where “some” people throw their trash!! Vet said they were approx. 1o weeks old. They were scared to death of people (& not easy to catch)! They were full of ticks & fleas & obviously had been abused even at such a young age. They are 2 1/2 now & coming along fine. They are VERY SMART! (and FAST)! Learned to ring a cowbell to go outside when they were puppies. They are brother & sister with similar markings. The boy is Bailey & the girl is Matilda (“Waltzing Matilda,” like the pub song).
Tannis Cryderman says
My tiny toy poodle is named Apollo and everyone loves it. He really suits it. All 3 pounds of him are tough!
Marissa says
We recently had to put down our chocolate lab. His name was Wonka, named after Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Just thought I’d share, I loved the name and thought it was very unique.
Patti says
We had a party cocker spaniel. White with large brown spots. Called him Cashew

So sorry for your huge loss Marissa.😪 Wonka will be by your side again one day.
That was a very unique and very sweet name.🤎

I says
Ginger
Christie says
Wait until the personality of the dog comes out, and it will be easy to find the perfect name.
BARB says
YOU ARE SO RIGHT. I GOT A MIN PIN MIX 6 YRS AGO AND COULD NOT FIND THE NAME.. HE JUMPED STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN AND MY SISTER SAID KANGAROO….SO ROOROO HE BECAME!! <3
Kit says
I agree w/this wholeheartedly. We named our new Bullypit mix Eidolon due to being all white when he was just a baby, and he was Eidol/idle…lol
We should have waited and called him Lil Nicky. His red rimmed eyes and ornerynes had him dubbed this. Adam Sandlers movie?
Anyway, Eidolon means phantom, and he was so idle while a baby, it fit perfectly.
Things changed tho as he grew!
😉
Eidol is still his name and it’s very unique. We also have two Brindles; Ozzi-O`Boy & my Reecey girl.
I was normal three dogs ago.🤣

We had large black labs, first one was named “Rambo” then we had Sam, short for samson,
then we had “Boaz” means swiftness or strength.
Everybody liked that one, and it was easier than we thought to call him.
but the thing was when we looked at the puppies, we had about 20 names and called them out individually and when I called out for Boaz our pup came running over, and the wife said I guess we have a Boaz. its best to let them come to a name they like then they will always come to you when you call.
Robert K says

We just got a 10 wk old Parti-Yorkie. He’s a tea-cup size and can’t agree on a name. We’re big Ohio State fans and immediately wanted something related to OSU. We started calling him Archie, but it just doesn’t seem to fit and for the life of me, I can never remember it when I’m talking to him. We have Gia Louise or Little Face (chorkie) and Shan (Black lab). Shan was already named when we got her, it’s short for Chantilly Lace.
Hubby wants to name our new puppy Buddy or Bacon but I’m not a fan of either name.
Help!

We just rescued a MALE Golden Retriever pup (1.5 years old) from a Taiwan puppy mill. The first year of his life was spent in a cage and void of everything a puppy should have. He is very small and very afraid of all strange sounds and items but very sweet and cute as can be! I would like to emphasize his growing courage, or possibly his Scottish heritage, but would appreciate any cute name. Y’all have come up with some great ones for other requests. Our previous Goldens have been Misty, Maverick, and Tucker. He’s a dark golden color. I’ve had lots of thoughts but I’m very indecisive. — Connery, Bairn, Logan, Berkeley (Barkley is cute but he hasn’t made a sound since we got him!), Fletcher, Barclay, Gavin, Coby, Graham, Higgins, Tavis, Corkin, Drake, Dax, Jax, Corbin, Becks, Jax, Indy, Dylan. HELP PLEASE!
Walt says
You may want to go with a temporary name. Then if he starts to become more active and playful, give him a permanent name to match this new personality. That means he’s warming up to you. But for now what stands out to me and probably a few other people is Dylan.
Javis says
But he could get used to a temporary name so give it a premenent name
Toshfarms says
FREEMAN

Our rescue was Annikin but he became Darth Vadar. We didn’t want him named after someone evil and we didn’t want his name shortened to Ann or Anni. — Just something for you to think about.

X tnks is coco a girls name it is isnt it.?
McKayla says
I think Coco could honestly be for a boy or girl. In my opinion, it works for both.
Tiana says
I’ll do my best to decode what you said.
Coco can go both ways, however, I think you should name him Barley, its an uncommon name but it fits for pugs.
Toodles~
