Welcome to /r/NameMyDog

To better help you come up with a name, please include a picture and if your pup is a boy or a girl (don’t worry if you’ve forgotten, we have boy/girl flair you can add 🐕)

Once you finally decided on a name, we would love to know what you selected. There is flair for that also. Just choose the flair [named: ADDNAME] and edit/replace ADDNAME with your dog’s new name

He’s a 7–8-month-old red dachshund, and I’m having the HARDEST time finding the perfect name for this little guy!
I love unique, quirky, slightly old-fashioned boy names. Something that’s cute but also has a little personality. Funny food names are welcome too! 😂

My absolute favorite is Vinny, but our other dog is named Benny, and I’m worried they’ll sound too similar. My almost 4-year-old daughter is absolutely INSISTING on Danny, which presents the exact same problem. 🤣

Other names I’ve considered are Otto, Bodie, Archie, Tony, and Odie, but nothing has completely stuck.

I’d love something that sounds good alongside Benny but is different enough that the dogs won’t get confused.

Help me name this little sausage! 🐾

Please help me name our girl we’re bringing home next week!

Here are names we like :
Taco
Bailey / Baylor
Daisy
Ivy (this is a medical pun for IV as I’m in PA school, additional medical puns encouraged)
Saylor
Nova
Olive
Luna
Lily
Petunia
Bramble
Cleo
Winnie
Maple
Willow

I once met a dog named Panko (like the bread crumbs) and thought that was the cutest name ever so names like that but maybe a bit more feminine would be great too!

TIA!

Edit:Thanks for all the responses! We still aren’t sure but added a few to the list and had a few laughs. Nobody read the post body 🤣 which is ok. No Name appreciates all the love! She is a precious baby angel and we know something will stick and be perfect for her ❤️

A neighbor abandoned this dog and we foster failed her. They (ironically) called her princess 🙄
We have been calling her Piper, but the problem is we have a dog Penny, and a cat Pepper— so Piper hasn’t been working (even though we love it).
We want something unique and not overused but also cute, short and sweet. Please help!!!😅

EDIT: Narrowed it down to Ferris, Mallory, or Zaylah. Thoughts?

I will be picking her up in 2 weeks. She will have a brother, my current dog, named Ripley. I like two syllable names that are uncommon, unique, or made up.

Rescue calls him Freckles. Despite that being a sensible name for him, I don't love it.

Any other suggestions?

This is my new baby boy, currently named Ballyhoo. I will be picking him up and taking him home tomorrow. He’s a very sweet boy that oinks like a little piggy; he was the last puppy left at the shelter most likely because he has neurological ailments and looks like an absolute badass. But he’s the sweetest most curious fun boy.

P.S. if you submit a name recommendation you’re officially a auntie/uncle 😂

UPDATE: his name is Bruin Bowie Cunningham 😭😍❤️

I’m curious what he’s mixed with as well, he’s a Shihtzu mix! So far I love names like Lenny, Lemmy, Murphy, Hendrix, Crüe, Benny, etc. I like grunge/rock names but could also be like an old man. Something unique!

This sweet girl joined us over a week ago and we still haven’t been able to settle on a name. She joins her big brother Koda, and while physically she seems dainty and petite, her personality is anything but. She is STRONG willed, stubborn, independent, and smart as a whip. Any ideas? I’ve read so many posts looking for inspiration, im going cross-eyed

This little fluff-nugget came to live with us today! He is four months old. His mum is an Australian Shepherd and his dad is a Polish Trata Sheepdog.
What would you name him?
Our previous dogs were Benji, Thomas, and Percy.
