While naming your male dog may not have the same lifetime significance as naming a baby boy, it’s a name you and your dog will be living with for a long time, so it deserves some thought. A good dog name can actually enhance his responsiveness and improve communication between you.
How to Choose the Right Dog Name
Dogs have an easier time hearing hard consonants and long vowels, so a name like “Lucky” or “Benny” will be easier for him to distinguish from other sounds. Most dog training experts recommend a one or two-syllable name that you can say quickly. It’s also commonly recommended that you avoid names that sound like commands, for example, “Kit,” which sounds like “sit,” or “Bo,” which sounds like “no.”
Pick a name you like to say (and that you won’t be embarrassed to yell across the dog park). You’ll be saying your puppy’s name a lot over time, as a quick attention grabber or just as part of their overall training and socialization.
Trending Dog Names
Looking for boy dog names in 2019? Just like baby names, dog names rise and fall in popularity. The number of dogs named after “Frozen” characters rose 900 percent the year after the movie came out, so don’t be surprised if your dog meets an “Olaf” in obedience class. Names from the “Twilight” movies and “Game of Thrones” have also risen over time, so expect to meet boy dogs named “Ghost,” “Tyrion,” or maybe “Stark.”
If you’re lucky, you’ll meet your dog, get to know him a bit, and come up with an inspired choice. But if you’re at a loss for a great dog name, here are the top 100 boy puppy names in the country right now.
