Your Favorite Puppy Names

What Owners Are Naming Their Own Dogs


On this Favorite Puppy Names page, we've decided to take a different route. Instead of giving you our own dog name suggestions, we've opened up this page for fellow dog owners to share with the world dog names that are special to them.

Since many readers of this site are current or past dog owners, there must be a reason why you chose the name that you did, and a story behind it.

*Do you remember your first puppy? What was his name? And why did you give him that particular one?

*Have you given a puppy as a gift? What was the special name they chose, and why?

*Do your neighbors, or friends have dogs? I'm sure there's some pretty creative names that they've come up with.

So if you've run into a dog naming mental block, and are looking for other unique puppy names, check out the favorite dog names of our readers at the bottom of this page for possible ideas. Or, if you know of a great name, feel free to share it with the world!


Share Your Favorite Puppy Names

Your puppy is one of a kind. Sharing their names here not only gives them worldwide publicity, it also gives others ideas when thinking up a name.
