Names depending on character

When choosing a name for a dog, it is important to focus not only on whether it sounds unusual and original, but also on whether it matches the pet’s character. The opposite rule also applies here - whatever name the dog receives, such a character will be formed in him. So, if you name a dog Addie, he can grow up almost uncontrollable. An animal with this name, like Barkhan, Zeus and Richie, requires strict discipline and training.

On a note! By naming your dog Archie, you can expect him to grow up friendly and peaceful. The nickname Hart is suitable for a brave and large male dog. A good-natured dog can be called Simon, and a little troublemaker dog can be called Luke or Cupcake.

Noble nicknames for male dogs

For a breeding dog with a good pedigree, whose parents are winners of competitions and exhibitions, an ordinary nickname will not work. In this case, you need to choose a sonorous name that matches the status of the puppy.

A good option would be the names of famous and great people: Armstrong, Byron, Napoleon Bonaparte, Botticelli, Bourbon, Tudor, Shakespeare, Lancaster, Vincent, Ludwig, Amadeus, Sebastian, Beethoven, Mozart, Banks, Gray, Fitzgerald, Morgan, Oswald, Barnes, Barton, Gatsby.

There is no way to judge the best or worst names for pets. Each owner is unique and his dog is not like his brothers. When choosing a name, it is important to rely on the recommendations of experts, but the final decision always depends only on the owner and his family.

Funny and cool nicknames

Some dog owners try to come up with funny, rare and cool names for their pets. This makes it possible to stand out from the crowd and lift the spirits of yourself and those around you. Among the successful funny names for male dogs are: Funtik, Barmaley, Krosh, Hobbit, Cucumber, Gremlin, Grasshopper.

On a note! When choosing a funny name for your pet, the main thing is not to overdo it with humor and not to humiliate the dog. Otherwise, it will look like a mockery; such a name is unlikely to be appreciated by other dog lovers.

Useful tips for choosing a name

Owners should listen to the advice of dog experts on how to choose a dog name for a boy. The most important selection rules:

The nickname should be selected depending on the character (desired or already developed), appearance and breed of the animal.
The name should not be very long and easy to pronounce - this way the puppy will quickly remember his name, and it will be easier for the owners to address the pet on a walk.
Calling your pet by a human name is also not a good idea, as this may offend someone or cause confusion.
You cannot choose dog names for boys that coincide with training commands, for example, “voice”, “fu”, etc.

Following simple rules will help you choose a suitable nickname for the animal, the sound and meaning of which will suit the owner and others.

For representatives of various breeds

Choosing a good name for a dog depending on the breed is not difficult. It is unlikely that anyone will disagree that a purebred shepherd, Doberman, bulldog or large Labrador will look stupid with the nickname Bug or Bagel. Lord or Archie would sound better. For small and cute dogs of such sonorous breeds as Spitz, Chihuahua or Yorkshire Terrier, the nicknames Donut, Mickey, Beefy, Bindweed, Rogue, etc. are suitable.

Serious brutal nicknames are unlikely to suit dogs like Yorkies.

Male huskies are usually called names that emphasize their love of cold and snow - Almaz, Everest, Umka, Elbrus, Buran, Blesk or Nord. Laikas and Samoyeds should not have aggressive and menacing nicknames, as they have a soft and flexible character. Names such as Cupid, Rek, Dick are suitable for them. Hunting and service dogs often have “verbal” names, for example, Dare, Catch up, Bark. “Evil” nicknames like Falcon, Ataman, Wolf, Wind, etc. are also suitable for them.

But for a German Shepherd, a serious nickname is quite suitable

If the dog is a mixed breed, or comes from simple mongrel mutts, you can give it a neutral name, such as Haggai (“the merry one”) or Jason (“the healer”).

What do celebrities call their dogs?

Among celebrity dog favorites, many are creative in choosing names. Thus, Philip Kirkorov named his pet Pokemon, Sir Elton John gave the dog the name Arthur, Bill Clinton calls his beloved Labrador Buddy. Actress Renee Zellweger gave her pets beautiful and cool names - her golden retriever is called Dillan, Lev Leshchenko - he named the shepherd Denver.

One of Philip Kirkorov's favorites was called Pokemon
