Choosing the right boy dog names for your new dog can be downright tricky! Do you name your pup after your favorite action star or musician?
Maybe they have a distinctive feature or characteristic, and you wonder if their name should reflect it? Should it be a proper noun or common noun, or how about an adjective or a verb? Max, Bear, Buddy, or Flash. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
To help make your decision easier with boy dog names, we did some of the hard work for you. We will show you over 1000 names for boy dogs that have trended over the years for a host of different reasons. Even better, if you’re stuck between a few names, we’re going to show you how you can eliminate names that don’t work well for dogs for whatever reason.
Before we get into the list of 1000+ body dog names that are composed of popular dog names inspired by movie stars, famous dogs, old classics, literary figures, historical figures, modern twists, you name, let’s take a look at why some names just do not work.
First, when narrowing down names for your boy dog or before making your final decisions, make sure you pull up a list of common dog training commands. For example, Bo, short for Bowie, and no sound a lot alike. This can be confusing for your dog — even though it’s a totally great name for a dog.
Now you could always avoid saying Bo and call them Bowie, but be warned that others may not know (pun intended) to do this. On the topic of other people, pay mind to any names that are similar or identical to relatives, especially ones that your dog may often see.
Last, watch super long names with more than two syllables like Constantine. Again, it’s an awesome name, but there are lots of great names, and that’s part of the trouble.
If you decide to go with a long name, make sure you can shorten it into a nice-sounding name. For example, Sir Reginald Destroyer of Bones, First of His Name, shortens up nicely into Reggie or King Reg.
Alright, time for our list of names featuring over 1000 boy dog names that are perfect. We searched the internet long and far for the best of the best. You’ve got TV theme names, traditional names, and fancy and flashy names that will razzle-dazzle other dog owners. We hope this list helps you out, and wish you and your pup the best!

Even when you’re looking for a specific breed, you still have tons of opportunities to adopt, thanks to purebred rescue groups.
If you need help with training, make sure to check out our training section. And when you’re looking to give your new pup the best health possible, look no further than our nutrition articles. They will take you from a novice to a pro in no time.
