Profile picture of the author - Anna Lengacherby Anna Lengacher

Congratulations!  You’ve made the decision to bring home a brand new little pupper and now you are looking for the perfect boy name.  Finding a name that is just right for your little fur ball is no small task.  Whichever name you choose, it’ll be how you address your little pupper for years to come.  It’s also how friends, neighbors, and strangers alike will greet your new furry friend.

Hands down choosing a name is one large responsibility.  No worries, though.  In this post you’ll discover exactly 1000 charming puppy names just waiting for a perfect match.  From popular and funny to retro, creative, old fashioned, and beyond, you need look no further for a perfect male puppy name.

Before we dive into the names, let’s first talk about the naming process.  That is, things to consider when choosing a name.

Things to Avoid When Choosing Dog Names for Boys

  1. Avoid choosing a name that rhymes with someone in your family. For example, if you have a sister named Emma, then don’t start calling your puppy Ezra.  Puppies are smart and will soon learn their names.  However, it’s hard for a furry canine to distinguish between words that rhyme.  So to avoid doggy confusion, stay away from names which rhyme with household names and words.
  2. Avoid choosing a name that rhymes with a command.  Similar to the previous point, avoid names that rhyme with commands such as sit, stay, fetch, and down.  Because Bit rhymes with sit and Bay rhymes with stay, these are examples of what to avoid.  This way your puppy won’t be confusing his name with common commands.
  3. Avoid choosing a name that is age sensitive.  Sure, your puppy may be tiny and adorable on his first day home.  However, unless you purchased a teeny tiny dog breed, your little boy puppy will soon be growing and maturing into a much larger canine buddy.  For this reason, avoid calling your boy puppy names such as Tiny, Midget, and Bambi.  While the name is fitting for small little puppies, it could get awkward once your puppy reaches adulthood.

Things to Consider When Choosing Dog Names for Boys

  1. Pick one or two syllable names.  This isn’t a hard set rule.  If from childhood you’ve been dreaming of naming a little puppy Alexander or Zephaniah, your puppy won’t hate you for it.  Still, by choosing a one or two syllable name, it will be easier for your puppy to learn and remember his name.  (Bonus: If you must choose a long and elaborate boy puppy name, you could always consider shortening it to a fun sounding nickname.)
  2. Choose a name with hard consonants.  While vowels are certainly needed, look for a name that uses hard consonants.  Again, it’ll simply be easier for your pooch to understand.
  3. Practice speaking the name.  Practice calling the name from different corners of your home; try the backdoor, your living room, and from inside your bedroom.  Is the name easy to pronounce?  Do you enjoy how it sounds when you speak it?  Practice speaking the name before making a final decision.  This way you can be confident in how it sounds and feels on your tongue.
  4. Determine what matters most to you.  Some folks have their name selected weeks before their puppy ever comes home.  Others prefer to meet their puppy first before choosing a name.  Wherever you fall between the two camps, decide what matters most to you.  Do you prefer to choose a name first?  Or do you prefer to find your perfect little pup and then choose a name based on your puppy’s personality?  For example, if your puppy loves being the center of attention you might consider King as an ideal puppy name.  Or if your puppy is fond of lots of affection, why not name him Cuddles or Kisses?
  5. Pick a name the whole family likes.  No doubt this is easier said than done.  To get started, compile a list of all your favorite boy names for dogs.  Next, discuss the names with your family and remove your least favorite names.  Do this several times until you are down to a single doggy name.Top 100 puppy names for boys infographic

Look for Inspiration

To get your mind rolling on potential name options, consider revisiting your childhood years.  Perhaps the name of your home street or favorite cartoon character would be a perfect match for your four legged friend.  Alternatively you could name your pupper after a best friend, your favorite teacher, a classic book series (consider Peter Rabbit to the rescue!), or your very own hometown.

If travel is your thing, you could always name your little boy pup after a favorite destination.  Perhaps it’s a place that holds special memories for you, a place you wish to visit, or a treasured vacation getaway.

Perhaps you are quick to notice appearance.  If so, you might give your puppy a name based on his appearance. If he’s brown, what about calling him coffee, cocoa, brownie, or chocolate?  Sporting a white coat instead?  Then what about names like snowflake, snow white, and sugar?  Plus, look for any special markings on your puppy.  If only the paws are one color, perhaps Socks would be a fitting name.  Be alert to any spots or color combinations that might further inspire a name.

While many folks are giving there puppies human names, this isn’t always the case.  Non-human names can also make for stellar puppy titles. If you are a foodie, boy names include Ginger, Olive, Basil, Coco, and Maple.  If you are a frequent traveler, consider giving your little pup a name after an international city.  Sydney, Florence, Bali, Rio, and Cleveland are all solid puppy names.  Or if you simply enjoy the outdoors, names like Lily, Clover, Daisy, and Spearmint may be your perfect match.  Oh, and for the avid sports fan, you can seldom go wrong when naming your puppy after a favorite sports team.

Now that your mind is rolling, here are 1,000 puppy names for boys.  Scroll slow, think big, and cheers to finding the perfect puppy name!
