The most popular dog names for girls and boys, beautiful, best and other names

The appearance of a dog in the house is always accompanied by many pleasant troubles. And first of all, you should think about what name to give your pet. It is not difficult to choose the right name for your dog - you just need to carefully study the advice of canine specialists in this regard.

An impressive list of names will help a novice dog breeder not to get confused and give his dog the most suitable nickname, which will also be beautiful, fashionable, original and funny.

General recommendations for choosing a name for a dog

All puppies born in kennels must receive an official name. It is indicated in dog documents and is used to represent the pet at various competitions and exhibitions.

As a rule, such nicknames are very long and difficult to pronounce. There are often cases when the official name does not suit the dog at all.

Official names are needed primarily to simplify the registration of babies born in a particular nursery. Typically, breeders give all puppies in a litter nicknames that begin with the same letter. Sometimes they use the names of their fathers or the name of the nursery in the babies' nicknames.

In addition, breeders often ask owners to name new family members with names of a specific theme (for example, related to astronomy, mythology, flowers or music).

For convenience, owners can come up with a so-called pet name for the dog. It will be used in everyday life and should suit the pet as best as possible.

You need to take your time choosing such a nickname, because weaning a dog off the name it is accustomed to is an almost impossible task.

That is why, when choosing an everyday nickname for your pet, you should be guided by a number of rules. Following them will help you name your dog the most suitable name for it:

The name should be sonorous, short, easy to pronounce and consist of 1-2 syllables and 1-2 voiced consonants. Both the dog and its owner will quickly remember this name.
The nickname should not be in tune with the teams.
You should not call your dog a common human name, or one that sounds similar to the nicknames of other pets.
It is not recommended to call your dog offensive words or religious names.
It is extremely undesirable to give a dog the name of a previous pet - the likelihood that they will be similar is almost zero.
It is advisable that the name reflect the gender of the dog.

This is interesting! If the owner cannot choose one of several names he likes, dog handlers advise calling the dog with each of them and calling the dog the one to which it responds.

The best nicknames depending on the size of the breed

Names that reflect the pet's character

Observing the puppy after moving to a new home will help you decide on a name that suits its liking and behavior. In addition, in order to slightly pacify the too tough temper of your dog or, conversely, make it more courageous and severe, choose a name that reflects traits that it does not have.

Scientists have proven that under the influence of various combinations of sounds, the water cells that make up all living organisms change. That is why the successful consonance of consonants and vowels in a dog’s name influences its character and behavior.

For boys, one of these character-reflecting names is often chosen:

Excitement, Angel;
Babay, Bandit, Brawler;
Faithful, Cheerful;
Enthusiasm;
Lapik, Leader, Fierce;
Pirate, Trickster;
Satyr;
Tyson, Tiger, Tisha;
Fakir, Fox;
Hulk, Hunter, Tail, Trickster;
Sherlock, Bumblebee, Stirlitz, Storm, Shustrik.

Girls are often given one of the following nicknames:

Banda, Buka;
Bark;
Zhadi, Zhulya;
Call;
Spark;
Comet;
Weasel, Lady, Fox;

A short introduction

Let's agree: giving cool nicknames to a dog is much more fun than naming a child. With a child, you know that their name will be judged on your choice for years to come by classmates, interviewers and others. But with a dog the rate is lower. No matter what you choose, everyone will think it's cute—so you might as well push the boundaries and choose a cool name for your dog. After all, you don't want every puppy in the park to answer your call.

With all your food items, fictional characters, and historical figures, you have a lot of room to find inspiration for a cool nickname. See our selection if you yourself cannot choose a name for your new friend. These cool names will delight your friends and family and make you smile every time you say your dog's name.

Finding More Cool Dog Names

Think about the things you like. What are your hobbies? What terms or names are associated with them?

Use geography. Where do you live or like to travel?
Try out a few characters from your favorite movie or book.
See what's trending. See lists of the most popular dog names.
Search dog names by category to get even more ideas.

Dog names of famous show business stars

Many famous Russian show business stars adore dogs. They often give funny and unusual names to their four-legged pets:

Philip Kirkorov has a Jack Russell terrier named Pokemon and a Spitz named Harry;
Alla Mikheeva has a French bulldog, Schnapps;
Sergei Lazarev has mongrel dogs Lisa and Daisy;
Mikhail Galustyan has a Jack Russell terrier Bucho;
Alexey Vorobyov has a Welsh corgi, Elvis Melvis;
Vadim Galygin has a Jack Russell terrier Anton Pavlovich.

There are also a lot of dog breeders among foreign show business stars:

Lady Gaga has French bulldogs Koji, Eisha and Gustav;
Jennifer Lawrence has a Chihuahua, Pippi;
Orlando Bloom has Yorkie Sidee;
Charlize Theron has a once-stray pit bull, Pitt, and a black terrier, Barkley.

No one can say for sure which dog name is the best. All dogs, like people, are unique and different from each other. That is why you need to take the choice of a nickname for your four-legged friend seriously.

Of course, you need to listen to the recommendations of dog handlers, but first of all you should study the character and habits of the dog. Only then will you be able to choose the most suitable nickname for your pet.

What do famous people call their pets?

Vladimir Putin : it all started with Koni. This funny black Labrador, without ceremony, violated official ceremonies. It was presented by Sergei Shoigu. The head of state also has a Bulgarian shepherd dog, which he received as a gift. A very rare breed. The animal's name is Buffy. Another dog, an exact copy of the dog from the film Hachiko, appeared with the President in 2012, it was presented by the head of one of the provinces of Japan. Her name is Yume, which translates to “dream” in Japanese. He also has an Alabai dog named Verny. It was presented to him by the President of Turkmenistan.

Leonid Yarmolnik - he and his family have 3 dogs: Scotch terrier Solomon, dachshund Zosya, and mongrel Dusya. His wife created the “Giving Hope” charity foundation, Leonid helps her.

Singer Sergei Lazarev has a mongrel Daisy. She is a frequent guest in his photographs on social networks. He got the dog by accident. Actually, he wasn’t going to start her because of his very busy tour schedule. He adopted a dog from a shelter, which he advises all people who are planning to get a dog to do .

Singer Lyubov Uspenskaya has a pet - Yorkshire terrier Frankie. It was important for her to buy exactly her puppy, the one that her eye would immediately fall on. It only looks like a toy, but in reality it is a toothy lion in miniature.

TV presenter Yana Poplavskaya has a Belgian shepherd Dusya.
Poplavskaya and her children found her in terrible condition. Wounded and doused with water in the cold. She started calling veterinarians, but their only answer was that she could bring the dog to be euthanized, because there was no point in treating it. At these words, Yana sent them away and decided to treat the dog on her own. And cured! Then she wanted to give Dusya away, she found good people, but her son intervened in the matter. He was 11 years old at that time and he said, “Dusya trusted you, and you are giving her away.” Afterwards Dusya remained in the family and was loved by everyone.

Actress Irina Lachina , her pet is the mongrel Mickey. She found Mickey in the park while she was on tour in Kislovodsk. It was scorching hot, and the puppy was lying in the rays of the sun. He looked like he needed help. And this was true - his leg was broken, he was emaciated and dehydrated. But Irina took him to the veterinarian and took him home.
