Unusual Dog Name Finder…

What makes our unusual dog names different from the rest? And what makes them unusual in the first place?

The unique dog names listed below come from a slightly different angle than the standard, predictable Fido or Rover, yet are great names if given to the right dog. Since you came here looking for unusual puppy names, the angle I’m talking about are dog names that are named after something you eat or drink.

So what started me to thinking about food when suggesting these names? Well, when I was young and no taller than my Daddy’s kneecaps, (I was a small boy) the names of my first two dogs were Pickles and Taffy…two different forms of food. One of my sisters dogs is named Pepper, and an old neighbor had a beautiful, pure white dog she named Vodka.

Funny dog names that are named after things we eat and drink are everywhere! I’m doubtful that when naming my first two dogs I was thinking about condiments and candy, but those dogs were special to me, and their names will forever stay with me. Why? Because their names were as unique and as special as they were!

Which is why I’m dedicating these unusual dog names to you Pickles and Taffy! Because of you, the world was a better place.

P.S. Should you be on a diet and not want to be tempted to raid your fridge after reading over a list of potential dog names after food groups, or perhaps you can’t find a suitable name from those suggested below, here’s a few gender specific lists which are much lower in calories though no less unusual…

Here's Our Unusual Dog Name Lists...

Unusual Male Dog Names

Just like humans, dogs frequently have their own unusual habits or personality traits. Traits that endear themselves to us even more. If this sounds like your pup, then here’s a few name ideas…

Unusual Female Dog Names

The word “unusual” means rare, remarkable and out of the ordinary. If this describes your girl, then have we got an unusual name for her!…

Things You Eat...Suggestions

Caviar: For a dog with expensive tastes. Perhaps a good choice for a pure bred, maybe a Poodle?

Hot Dog: This name would be good for a dog who’s a show-off, and an especially good name for a Dachshund.

Jalapeno: A good choice for an energetic, feisty dog. I can see this as a good fit for a small dog or a Chihuahua.

Spam: For a dog whose lineage is a mixture of everything.
