Getting Inspired
Start by listing the things you love about the breed. Jot down any word you think of, don’t try to edit your thought process as you go along or inhibit that creative flow. Think of words that describe them and then put any which sound like good Pitbull names into a list. Alternatively think of a theme that appeals to you. A fan of hotrods, bikes or trucks? Use that theme as a platform to spring onwards to inspired and totally unique names.
- Racer
- Camero
- Mustang
- Corvette
- Dodge
What about the ocean, rivers and sea creatures? The underwater world can be a great place to brainstorm from:
- River
- Tang
- Bream
- Ocean
- Loach
- Angler
Countries, cities and states can also be a really inspired way to name your puppy. So you can choose places you’ve been or locations you’d love to see. You can honor your family’s heritage, or simply give a nod to somewhere special.
- Paris
- Austin
- London
- Lincoln
- Dallas
- India
- Savannah
Once you’ve got your shortlist, share it with your family and friends. Pin it to the fridge door, and each day strike through your least favorite. Or let family members take it in turns to do the same. You’ll soon shrink the list down to the perfect option.

Kyote10 says
These are some great names! We have an all white red/blue cross who we’ve named Kodak. The name fits her personality so well, she definitely gives us plentiful “Kodak Moments”! (Think the old camera/film for taking pics) We love our pibble to death! I never in my life thought I’d own one, let alone even pet one, but I can’t imagine my life ever again without a pibble in it. The most affectionate, playful, lovable, and loyal dog I’ve ever encountered. Such a shame they have such a stigma around them still though. I tell people it’s how they are raised that will either bring out the violence or bring out the big, cuddly, affectionate side of them. They aren’t to be feared if they are treated right. Again, we LOVE our pibble Kodak and I’ll never have another breed of dog again!
Donal Trump says
I was thinking Kodak Black 🤷🏿♂️

David V says
I had a BEAUTIFUL, sweet blue nose pit bull that I rescued from the SPCA that I named GAIA. She was somewhat short and stocky, and all muscle, I called her my lil sausage, she was a beautiful blueish grey and white, just a great looking out bull. Originally the SPCA had given her the name sherly but I was not a big fan of that name and it didn’t fit get at all. After thinking for a while and getting some help from a few friends and coworkers, my coworkers wife suggested the name Gaia (pronounced guy-a) meaning mother earth. I fell in love with the name it was perfect. Unfortunately my neighbors did not like our dogs and they hated my Gaia, which I don’t know how anybody could have hated her, she was the sweetest, most loving, well behaved dog ever, but one day Gaia became very ill, I took her to the vet, and after running some test, it was discovered that she had been poisoned with rat poison. We had never used rat poison and it was nowhere to be found on our property, the only explanation was that the neighbors had poisoned her, but we had no actual proof or evidence. A couple days later one of my other dogs had come down with the same symptoms and after taking her to the vet, she too had been poisoned by rat poison as well, luckily we were able to get her to the vet in time and we were able to save her, unfortunately Gaia wasn’t so lucky. The poison had done to much damage and she had to be put down. That put bull was the live of my life, she was my little sausage, i loved her. But the name Gaia was perfect for her and if anyone is trying to figure out a name for their put bull might I suggest GAIA, it’s a beautiful name for a great breed of dog.
Rose says
That’s so sad.
Dannielle says

Mauricio Vazquez says
I have been dealing with depression since I was a teenager. I am now 33. Recently I was blindsided by a break up with a woman I thought was the one. I practically adopted her kids and fell in love with them as a family as well as individuals. Then not long after I lost my job and a close family friend. This all happened within a matter of weeks of each other. One day a neighbor found a gorgeous, friendly, BIG brown pitbull. After some sleuthing we found out his “owners” just put him on the streets because he had a few indoor accidents. I kept him and found out he is only 9 MONTHS OLD. Anyway…he stayed with me and has helped me to push forward when I felt the weight of the world was crushing me. For this reason I named him after the king of the Greek Titans, Atlas, who was destined to hold the weight of the world on his shoulders. He is amazing and I love the big lug.

I have a 10 week male pit puppy from a litter we had. He was a miracle puppy as he was born almost 10 Hours after his 5 brothers and 4 sisters. So he is the runt but he really is not much smaller than thw other puppies. He os black with a dew white toes, a white stripe on his nexk and chest and a partial white collar just above his
Shoulders
I want a name that reflects the miracle he is.
Please
Help
Janice says
First, I am stating the obvious name of Miracle (but that may be too cheesy), but then I thought of Phoenix, as in the mythological phoenix bird that burned itself to death on a funeral pyre, then rose from the ashes to live again. Your pup as already fought a good strong battle and has lived. Plus I think Phoenix has a nice strong sound to it and it is easy to say, and rarely misunderstood.

Do I keep the name or can I change it.. and if so, what would I change it to? Open for suggestions!
Melinda Allen says
Ash would be a good name
Avalanche would be another possible good name.
If the name he has feels like it fits then keep it, if you feel it doesn’t fit his personality or characteristics then there is no harm in changing it I have a pit bull that is 15 years old so yours still has half of its life up to 2/3 rds more time. I thinks ok to change it if you like.
Megan says
Bacardi or Rum
Donna says

A few weeks ago I lost my sweet Pit girl, Cleo, to her second series of Grand Mal seizures due to a fatal reaction to Frontline flea treatment at the age of 3yrs old. She was a white coated Pit w/very unique tan markings. She was my everything. When I held her at 4wks old I knew she was the “queen” of my heart and soul and therefore became Cleopatra Sophia. I loved the name Sophia, always, but was drawn to the mystery of her blue eyes and they reminded me precious jewels…being fascinated with Egyptian history and culture, Cleopatra seemed just a natural fit for such a beautiful queen!
Just wanted to share her name with you…maybe one or the other will resonate with you?
Metta Barden says
So sorry for your loss! She won your heart so she will always be with you! Get another one ~ there are too many pitties that Dre looking for there forever home! A great site to look for a beautiful dog is called “Shadows Fund” out of California. They will transport (within reason) to just about anywhere ~ it’s worth taking a look and adoption fees are really reasonable ~ i adopted my beautiful “Layla” from them and she is the love of my life!
