When coming up with the Boston Terrier names on this page, we tried to
take into account the many attributes of this energetic dog. The fact
that it’s interesting history as a breed also played a role when picking
these names as we realized this was no ordinary dog we were dealing
with.
Did you know…
-This dog was originally bred to hunt rats in coal mines and factories, as well as a fighting dog. Hard to fathom that any canine was used for such things, but thankfully that’s in the past.
-That it’s a cross between the French and English Bulldog and other fighting Bull Terriers such as the currently extinct English White Terrier.
-The Boston Terrier can be a bit aggressive towards other animals due to it’s breeding, but this can be controlled with proper training.
Combine all the above with a quirky sense of humor this pup has, as well as it being a great family pal, is it any wonder why we felt this pooch deserves a Boston Terrier names page dedicated to just this breed?
What you’ll find below are a few suggestions for Boston Terrier puppy names, then some gender specific ideas, then our creative lists of ideas that we felt would fit this breed better than other ideas on this site.
Apollo: Taken from the Greek god of the sun, your Boston Terrier will certainly be the sunshine of your life.
Bossy: Great as either a male or female Boston Terrier name, this choice is a "short version" of Boston, their city of origin.
Cadence: Meaning "rhythmic," this name idea brings to mind the sound of the claws of these canines as they tap along a hardwood or tile floor.
Jabba: Straight from the Star Wars movies, a name that refers to a rather jowly character, reflecting the facial characteristics of this breed of pup.
Lakesha: This name and all its alternate spellings, which abound, all mean "joyful" and these dogs are real joys to own and love.
Lamar: This Boston Terrier puppy name means simply, "of the sea" and, while not water pups, often these pooches love to swim with their human families.
Terry: Another naming idea which serves to reflect the title of this breed. Alternate spellings of "Teri" or "Terri" make this name work for either gender of pooch.
