Do you want to give your pet a laconic, short and quickly memorable name? You should take a closer look at English and American ones. Among the English names for dogs, you can find an original, interesting and suitable one for your pet. The most important thing is that dogs easily get used to such nicknames, because these words are easy to understand by ear.
- Popular nicknames for female dogs
- Popular nicknames for food lovers
We have prepared for you lists of dog names in English with translation (where possible). Choose an English dog name (boy or girl) from the list or get inspired to create your own!
Where to begin
Focus on the characteristics of the breed, appearance, and behavioral manners of the pet.
Recommendations from dog handlers:
- The correct name sounds clear and loud - animals do not perceive dull, hissing sounds well. Consonance with commands, for example, Port - Aport, is unacceptable.
- Correct translation - the dog should receive the correct nickname, and not an option related to profanity.
- English dog names are recommended for breeds from America and England - these lucky ones are supposed to have similar names (golden retriever, bobtail, fox terrier, American pit bull terrier). If desired, a nickname is assigned to a mongrel dog.
Rottweiler
This breed is considered one of the most terrible and evil in the whole world .
Such dogs tend to establish relationships with only one person, and after getting closer, trusting another owner will be problematic. The Rottweiler originated in Germany. The original intention of creating the breed was spectacle and pleasure. The dogs were released into stadiums where they ran cross-country, after which they also began to be used for fights.
Double and complex dog names with translation
A beautiful, sonorous, meaningful phrase is included in the documents of purebred puppies. Russian breeders write it in transliteration. A competent specialist's nickname echoes the name of the nursery. One letter is used for a litter: the first offspring receives a nickname with “A”, the next with “B”, etc. Later, the owner comes up with a short, domestic version.
Double English names for dogs - word combination. The noun and adjective form a meaningful link, combining perfectly with each other.
Interesting! Check the adjective: part of the name must match the breed, the puppy. It is incorrect to call a black dog as a red one, or a small one as a big one.
Best options with translation:
- Night Magic - night magic;
- Baby Love - beloved baby;
- Sunny Smile - sunny smile;
- Happy Day - happy day;
- North Star - northern star;
- New Star - new star;
- Almond Cookies - almond cookies;
- Queen of the Night - queen of the night;
- Starry Sky - starry sky;
- Sweet Orange - sweet orange;
- Milky Way - milky way;
- Charming Baby - a charming child;
- Lovely Girl - beloved girl;
- Galaxy Freedom - free galaxy;
- Hot Pepper - hot pepper;
- Iron Man - iron man;
- Diamond Dust - diamond dust;
- Pink Flower - pink flower;
- Fresh Wind - a refreshing breeze;
- White Angel - white angel;
- Cotton Candy - cotton candy.

Ask a Question
You should not give a name on the first meeting with the puppy if it does not immediately come to mind. The best nickname is chosen by the owner and the pet. Say a few suitable ones and see what sounds attract the animal.
Name of a purebred pet
When you purchase a purebred puppy (no matter from a breeder or a kennel club), remember that he already has a “passport” name. As a rule, it is quite long, compiled according to certain rules of canine associations, and is not suitable for use in everyday life. It is unlikely that you will be able to call your pet Visconti Dog North Arlington or Ereysad de le Benhamien every time. Club nicknames are used only for exhibitions and other official events, but based on them you can “generate” beautiful names for a male puppy. So, Visconti dog North Arlington may well receive the nickname Whiskey, North or Nord, Arly, Tone, and Ereysad de le Benhamien will become Benei, Ray or Khan.
Names for unique dogs
Each dog is individual. Its special features will help you choose the best nickname.
When the pet is small and daring
Funny English names are suitable for decorative, small breeds, designed to cheer up. The owners prefer those that are converted into a diminutive form. In turn, pets easily perceive calls consisting of 2-3 sounds.
English nicknames for small breeds:
- Small, Little, Baby Kiddy, Child - for the smallest puppy;
- Toots is a cute nickname for a cranky, barking dog;
- Rudy - small, proud;
- Bubu - often barking at passers-by;
- Drop - small, like a drop of water;
- Boombot is a nickname for a small, fast runner;
- Dots - to a dog as tiny as a dot;
- Griffin - if it is a small, cute boy puppy.
For a serious massive friend
Large, working breeds require solid nicknames that facilitate better training. Dog handlers do not recommend giving puppies too simple nicknames derived from people's names. The appeal should be short and sonorous.
List for large purebred dogs:
- Tall, Rocky - a tall puppy;
- Big, Bear - large;
- Major - a massive, beautiful pet;
- Goodly, Maximum - impressive;
- Heavy, Hulk - powerful, heavy;
- Tank - the largest;
- Duke is an English nickname for a noble dog.
Interesting! The dog sensitively picks up the intonation with which the nickname is pronounced. A strict tone causes guilt, an affectionate, positive tone causes happiness.
Nicknames for people
At least 20% of pets are named after people. It looks strange, but it can be original and fresh. The most popular English names for boys' dogs: Charlie, Murphy, Marley, Shona, Luca.
The female puppies are named Bella, Zoya, Lizzie, Lola. Dogs that show leadership traits are given the nickname Winston. Cooper is suitable for the hounds, Jake is suitable for the active ones.
Nickname to match the color
The selection criterion is the color of the pet.
Dog names in English according to color (with translation):
- Yellow - yellow (chosen for golden, light beige puppies);
- Blue - blue (suitable for Great Danes, French bulldogs, dogs with blue eyes);
- Copper, Fire - copper, fiery (when there is a red puppy in the house);
- Keys, Zebra (translation: keys, zebra) - choice for black and white breeds;
- White, Snow - white, snowball;
- Dark, Black - dark, black;
- Brown, Gray - chestnut, gray.
Merry
There are some fun ideas for pop culture fans. Use English names if you come across a cheerful, unusual puppy with behavioral characteristics.
Nicknames for any breeds with a play on words:
- Vinny - a male “plush” like a bear has settled at home;
- Santa - a festive boy puppy;
- Jimmy Choo is an English nickname for a shoe chewer;
- Lipton is a nickname for a funny, powerful pet;
- Mob - suitable for a bully;
- Muffin, Toffee, Candy (translation: cupcake, toffee, candy) - to a sweet, sweet-loving medium breed dog;
- Pinocchio - if the boy has a long nose.
- Kludi (cloud) - a furry pet.
Recommendations on what not to call a dog in English
Striving for originality, do not forget about reason, respect for others and your tailed friend.
You should not choose a nickname that may sound offensive.
You should not choose nicknames related to:
- insults (Agli - Freak);
- indications of religiosity, political views and nation (Jesus - Jesus, Nazi, Niger);
- emphasizing aggression (Killer, Zombie);
- names of cities and countries;
- abusive words (Fak).
It is worth noting that soft nicknames will look absurd on fighting, hunting, guard breeds, or any large dogs. Meanwhile, decorative dogs will come in handy.
It is considered bad form to call a new pet the same as a deceased one. Some dog breeders are convinced that this is how the fate of the previous animal is passed on.
Dog handlers also advise paying attention to the frequency of use of nicknames. A name that is too common will confuse your pet on walks.
The choice of nicknames for dogs is huge, look at what else you can call your four-legged friend:
When choosing a nickname in English, you should think especially carefully. For all their euphony, foreign words can carry pitfalls of hidden meaning, not always positive.
An error of this kind is difficult to correct. If a person can change his name at the registry office or passport office at his first request, then it will be almost impossible to retrain the dog.
When choosing a nickname, remember that the name should suit the pet both in external qualities and in character.
The most important rule of any owner is to choose a nickname for your pet with respect. It must be remembered that a sense of humor and stubbornness are not always appropriate in such a responsible matter. Every dog deserves to wear its name proudly.
A small pet has appeared in the house, but you don’t want to call it by ordinary Russian nicknames? Then it’s worth considering foreign, for example, English names that will become pretty good nicknames for dogs. In addition to the usual male and female names, we have also collected English dog names, which residents of the UK and USA most often call their pets.
American Bulldog
This breed originated at the beginning of the 17th century.
The American Bulldog is intended for driving and guarding livestock. But since this breed was too rough, and there were often attacks on animals, they decided to give it to fights and street shows. The American Bulldog chased bulls, rams and goats with the goal of killing the victim. The outcome was different: either the dog died or was injured, or the livestock became the victim.
