If you're experiencing difficulties coming up with popular male dog names that are the perfect fit for your families new four legged family member, then this page can help.
When coming up with popular ideas, it helps to consider canine features like size, coloration, as well as temperament. Yet even with these considerations in mind, sometimes you’ll find that your dog will react positively to a certain name, or you’ll find one that “just fits” him.
Nothing wrong with this of course, but you have to start your naming quest somewhere, so without further delay, here’s some suggestions and lists to start you on your way…
Adventure: Ever since your boy entered your life, your life has been an adventure! If it isn’t one thing it’s another…with him either chasing cats, the mailman or even family members, life is never dull when Adventure is around.
*Somewhat similar male ideas: Intrigue, Escapade, Venture
Bungee: For the popular male with boundless energy. He goes here…then there…and now back there again. He’s the perfect example of canine elasticity and speed.
*More zippy choices: Zig Zag, Speedie
Curly: A good choice if you’re a fan of the Three Stooges or if your dog has a curly coat, such as a schnauzer, or poodle. A humorous and popular male dog name too for a pup with a very short coat, like a Pit Bull.
Da Vinci: The famous inventor and artist from long ago, this man was a true genius! If your male is intelligent, and he makes no qualms in letting every other dog on the block know about it, then Da Vinci's a good name for da dog.

Groucho: Groucho Marx was one of the funniest comedians of all time. Those bushy eyebrows, dark mustache and even baggy pants were all part of his trade marks. His name might be a good match for a popular male with a funny side or one that has distinctive eyebrows or bushy mustache.
