How to choose a nickname for a puppy?
Boys' dog names are so varied that it is sometimes difficult to choose the right one. Some tips for choosing a nickname:
- Non-pedigreed mongrels are often called by their coat color - Ryzhik, Squirrel, for a black puppy the nickname Chernysh is suitable.
- You can call the dog a sonorous male name - Timur, Oscar, Adolf, William, Heinrich, Joy, Mike, Philip, Tyler, Teddy.
- The optimal nicknames for dogs of large breed boys can be taken from mythology - Zeus, Hercules, Prometheus, Siegfried. These are beautiful, sonorous nicknames that emphasize the power of the dog.
- It is better to call Shepherd puppies with simple but beautiful names. Short nicknames are convenient for training. You can call them by popular names - Rex or Mukhtar. Sometimes the names of rivers, mountains, natural phenomena or animals are used - Danube, Whirlwind, Leopard, Yenisei. Such names characterize the shepherd as a fast, hardy and dexterous guard.
- You can take the name of the country of origin of the dog breed as a name, for example, for a boy German Shepherd, the nickname Karl, Hans, Richard or Albert is suitable.
You should take the choice of a name seriously so that the pet’s character and appearance correspond to the nickname. For example, a powerful fighting dog nicknamed Baby is at least funny. You cannot name a small Yorkshire terrier Thunder or Typhoon, and the name Fierce would not suit a husky puppy.
Gastronomic names
One of the options for funny and rare names is a gastronomic nickname:
- Asado is grilled meat.
- Schnitzel is veal tenderloin coated in breadcrumbs.
- Mule-fries – mussels with French fries.

Features of choice
The nickname should please not only the owner, but also the dog. It is necessary that the puppy react positively to the new name, so he will quickly get used to it and with age he will be able to distinguish it well among other words and sounds. Therefore, when choosing a nickname, you should follow simple recommendations:
it is better if it is short, only 1-2 syllables; the nickname should be clear and sonorous; tailed animals have difficulty perceiving dull and hissing sounds by ear; should not be consonant with the main commands, for example, Funtik is very similar to the command “Fu!”, and Fars resembles “Fas!”; It is not recommended to call the dog a name that is too popular; it is better to choose something original; When choosing a name, look at the puppy’s reaction; what matters is how he reacts to a combination of sounds.
The miniature size of the dog can be called by names such as Pixel, Gnome, Tiny, Button, Bead, Atom, Mouse and Micron. They are ideal for a small dog. In addition, they can be combined with beautiful foreign names, thus obtaining a double nickname, for example, Little Lucy or Baby Webster.
For small decorative breeds, English names with an aristocratic connotation are suitable:
- Barry;
- Buffy;
- Becky;
- Jane;
- Webster;
- Linda;
- Maxwell;
- Molly;
- Oscar;
- Rigby;
- Spencer;
- Sandy;
- Tilde;
- Chelsea;
- Sheila;
- Sherlock.
Among the Italian names you can also find worthy options that will emphasize such characteristics of the animal as love, sociability and cheerful disposition:
- Gigolo;
- Anetta;
- Bambino;
- Vanessa;
- Gucci;
- Gemma;
- Giovanni;
- Cappuccino;
- Mario;
- Susana;
- Simone;
- Fabio;
- Elda.
If you want to pamper your pet, dress him in beautiful suits and let him sleep on pillows, choose an elegant French name for him:
- Adele;
- Bijou;
- Jacqueline;
- Cavier;
- Kenzo;
- Leon;
- Lucy;
- Maurice;
- Paulette;
- Reni;
- Tison;

- Squirrel;
- Julia;

When choosing a name, you should also take into account the animal’s physique: elegant French names are suitable for thin, smooth-haired dogs, and English names are suitable for well-fed and fluffy dogs. You can name a dog based on the characteristics of its color:
- for a completely black dog the names Ugolyok, Chernysh, Little Imp, Blackie or Obama are suitable;
- for white - Snowball, Marshmallow, Sugar, Chalk or Belyash;
- red can be called Red, Fox, Pepper, Pomegranate, Fox, Honey;

- for males of smoky or gray color, the names Ash, Gray, Silver, Smokey and Smoke are suitable;
- puppies with a spotted coat are often called Harlequin, Pied or Fifteen.
From an early age, the dog shows its character; observe the puppy’s behavior:
- the pet eats often and a lot - he is probably Zhorik, Loaf or Pie;
- for those who bark loudly, the names Bell, Hooter or Klaxon are suitable;
- the dog learns quickly and demonstrates high intellectual abilities - call him Jobs, Freud or simply Smart Guy;
- if an animal shows leadership qualities from the first day in a new home, give it the proud name Tsar, Leader or Pharaoh.
