Do you have a new four-foot male family member needing a name? Check out our list of boy puppy names. From common cuties to unique monikers, we’ve got them all. Let’s meet a few standouts from the complete list together.
The most popular boy puppy names include human names like Max, Jack, and Charlie. These are found at almost every dog park, and with good reason, as they’re cute and pair well with commands like “sit” or “stay.” Buddy is also a long-time favorite, as he’s a natural fit for man’s best friend. Recently, Finn has spiked in popularity, too. Meaning “fair,” he’s an Irish name with a youthful air. Other puppy names boy doggos commonly have today include Milo, Cooper, and Tucker.
While popular pupper names are great, they’re not everyone’s cup of tea. For one, your dog may share a name with multiple pups in his training class or doggy daycare. Not to mention, your fur kiddo is special and deserves a name that reflects this. This is where unique boy puppy names shine. Boone is an excellent option here. Meaning “good,” this Latin pick suits a best barking boy. Gage is another unique choice with a strong sound. As a one-syllable wow, he’s easy to call. See Ares, Koa, and Drake for more unique male puppy names.
Appearance-based boy puppy names are a good idea, too. For a curly-coated canine, check out Crispin and Rizzo, two monikers meaning “curly-headed.” Is your sniffer a spotted pup? See Bryce, meaning “speckled.” He’s an incredibly clever pick for a Dalmatian. How about a red coat? Rusty, Rogan, and Russell have reddened roots. Onyx is great for a black dog, while Caspian is a natural pick for a white woofer. Jumbo breeds like mastiffs fit Titan and Bear, while a Chihuahua is better suited as Pavo or Klein, both of which mean “small.”
Cute boy puppy names are always a hit. Teddy offers cuddly vibes, particularly for a fuzzy puppy. On the flip side, Ziggy is a spry cutie perfect for an energetic pup, as is his fellow German friend, Fritz. Other cute picks include Archie, Riley, and Jules. The opposite style would be strong puppy boy names like Odin. Connected to a god from Norse mythology, this Scandinavian sweetheart means “frenzy.” Similarly, there’s Apollo, meaning “destroyer.” Check out Titus, Bane, and Tyson for more strong mutt monikers.
Browse the rest of our boy puppy names list for more top-notch name contenders for your canine.
