Creative Dog Names
Don't Settle For Dull And Boring
Looking for creative dog names that are different? Tired of the run of the mill titles that everyone else is giving their pups?
All dogs are different enough in personality, size and even coloration to warrant suggestions that are as varied as they are. One name that sounds good to one owner might have the other owner scratching their heads wondering who would ever call their pal THAT?
Picking one creative dog name over the other can be a personal thing as well. Maybe a choice choice might have sentimental value to it, or maybe given as a sort of canine salute to someone or something you’re fond of. It’s not uncommon to give a dog a human name, or even a one after a drink or food they like.
That’s why our aim here on this site is to offer creative ideas that are different enough to be unique, while also be a title your pooch can be proud of.
Our Creative Dog Names
For Your Male Or Female
Arielle: If you own a brave, faithful, or patient canine, this name might make the perfect choice. This pup will always protect and love you.
*Somewhat similar ideas: Courage, Valiant.
Asimov: If you love reading science fiction, you’ve no doubt heard of Isaac Asimovs name. A creative dog name too for a highly intelligent pup as it reflects that virtue. If you own a smart dog, then even Einstein might make a good choice.
Aurora:
According to Greek mythology, this means Goddess of the dawn, and
is a creative idea for the girl that’s an early riser. Also, this
refers to the beautiful Aurora that’s visible from northern latitudes.
Either would fit a pup with a colorful, and stately personality.
Beetle Bailey: After the popular U.S. Army recruit comic strip character, this boy name would be a creative choice if you love his character, or if your pal has a funny side to his personality.
Bindi: After Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s daughter who rose to prominence when she came in to the public eye of the world upon her father’s unfortunate death. A very unique and creative choice which we’re not sure we’ve ever heard on a dog before.
Cheyenne: Loyal, strong and graceful, sounds a lot like your furry friend, doesn’t it? If your pup makes you feel protected and loved, while all along maintaining her grace and composure, then consider this creative female puppy name.
Chiquita: Good for the light colored pup that either has gone bananas for you, you’ve gone bananas for her, goes bananas herself, or all of the above!
DiMaggio: If you love the Yankees, or maybe have noticed just how well your dog handles a ball, then the name DiMaggio will surly hit a homerun with all who hear it. Maybe Yankee fans might also want to consider other Yankee players for name ideas…like Yogi or Steinbrenner.
Elvis: With this pup there’s always a whole lotta shakin goin on! He also seems to be mysteriously drawn to Las Vegas and sequenced jumpsuits.
Espirit: We can see this creative dog name on a pooch that has a free and airy spirit about her. A perfect fit for the lady pup that “breezes” into a room.
*Similar creative choices: Spirit, Phantom, Avalon, Capri
