Famous Weimaraner names

Sometimes it’s nice to name your beautiful dog after a famous Weimaraner.

If you’re tempted to go down that track, then here’s our round-up of some famous Weimaraner names that could be just what you’re looking for.

William Wegman and his Weimaraners

Most of us who love dogs are familiar with the artwork of William Wegman and his gorgeous Weimaraners.

Wegman’s photographs star this beautiful breed of dog – often in human clothes or other amusing poses.

Most of the dogs in these photographs have belonged to Wegman himself, over his long career.

Let’s take a look at some of their names:

  • Man Ray
  • Fay Ray
  • Battina
  • Crooky
  • Chundo
  • Chip
  • Bobbin
  • Candy
  • Penny
  • Flo
  • Topper

Wegman’s two current dogs, Flo and Topper, are also featured in the children’s books Flo and Wendell and Flo and Wendell Explore.

We’re sure that if your family is considering getting a Weimaraner puppy, kids would love having a dog named Flo and being able to read about her adventures in their storybooks – how cool would that be!

President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Heidi

US President Dwight D. Eisenhower was given a Weimaraner in 1955. He called her Heidi, with her nickname being “gray ghost.”

As with many Weimaraners, Heidi was an active dog and as such, enjoyed the run of both the White House and its grounds.

It’s reported that she didn’t enjoy it when the press came to visit though, and twice urinated in the White House when there were receptions or visitors.

 

The Perfect Companion For Life With A New Puppy

 

As a result, Heidi went to live on Eisenhower’s farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Here she got to live a quieter life and had at least one litter of puppies.

In addition, Heidi is a German name meaning “noble and serene.”

Unique Weimaraner names

If some of the more obvious names don’t appeal to you, we’ve got some great suggestions for unique names too!

It’s quite fun to take some time researching unusual names to find something truly special for your new puppy.

While very few names are truly unique, we’ve found some that are certainly less conventional.

We’ve included their meanings, to help you decide if they could just be the perfect choice for you.

  • Arian (Female. Welsh for “silver”)
  • Aroha (Female. Maori – a language spoken in New Zealand – for “love”)
  • Saoirse (Female. Irish Gaelic for “freedom” or “liberty.” Pronounced “sear-sha”)
  • Iona (Female. Gaelic word associated with “blessed”)
  • Romilly (Gender neutral. Thought to be derived from the Hebrew for “God’s loved ones”)
  • Mavi (Gender neutral. Turkish for “blue”)
  • Talento (Male. Spanish for “talent” or “gift”)
  • Finbar (Male. “Fair-haired” in Irish Gaelic)
  • Quintus (Male. Latin for “fifth” – perfect if your Weimaraner is going to be your fifth dog!)
  • Messi (Male. Associated with famous Portuguese soccer player)

Making Your Choice

Choosing a good name for your puppy can be a very fun and enjoyable task.

Some of you will like to have a short list of names ready to choose from when you finally bring your puppy home.

You will probably spend a bit of time before you make your decision.

Others either have a name in mind or pick out a name as soon as they’ve laid eyes on the new puppy.

There’s no right or wrong way to go about this.

However you make your choice, we’d love to hear your Weimaraner names in the comments below!

    My first dog was named Sheba, she was a pretty girl with a lovable heart and beautiful, piercing eyes. She died about two days ago due to a heart attack, and my little brothers been devastated (he’s young). So, my mom has purchased a new male weim and we are to go get him on Dec 5- Dec 6 2019. It will definitely be something! He’s gorgeous, like a little Prince!

    Our first Weim was Arthur, very elegant and distinguished guy 🙂 And we now have Winston, and while he is also very regal, he is more aloof. They are a fantastic breed!!

    I’ve had 4 litters of Weimie dogs – every one as beautiful and loving as one another. I’ve always given them WINE names – from Chablis, Rhone, Riesling, Cinsaut, Baronne, Merlot – they’re so elegant and appear to fit the names well.
