Coolest Dog Names and Dog Breed Information

Are you looking for the perfect name for your new puppy or dog? Here you will find a good sized and ever growing ssortment of names, some with the meaning, broken down by category.
 

Some advice when picking a name – keep it simple. One to two syllables are much easier for your pet to recognize – and to avoid confusion, do not choose a name that rhymes with a common command like "sit". President Obama’s new family addition, the Portuguese Water Dog breed, is a great example of what NOT to name your new pet. BO. What vital word does this rhyme with? – NO. You can see where this similarity can cause confusion for a dog.

Don't pick out one until you have a chance to observe your dog. Maybe a particular habit or trait will make it easier to narrow down a list that you have.

Don't just come up with a name that fits your dog in the moment. If it is a young pup, you want to think about him in a full grown state.

If you are adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue group and they had a name with their previous life or the foster family has been calling the dog by a name, try to keep that name. Avoid further confusion to the poor dog who's life has been probably turned upside down in recent months.

But if you are getting a new dog or have found a dog with no existing name, then I’m sure that you’ll find one that will fit your new pet amongst the various categories we currently have – like, German Dog Names, Names for Big Tough Dogs, Spanish Dog Names, Mexican Dog Names, and more…!
