Unique Male Dog Names
Don't Settle For Ordinary
The unique male dog names on this page are considered unique because they aren’t the run of the mill names so often heard on all the other dogs at the groomers or kennel.
Let’s face it, your pup is unique, isn’t he? Then why give him a male name that you’ve heard a million times already? One of the dangers of giving him a common title is that when you call him at the dog park, not only will he respond, but a lot of other pups will come running too!
Have you ever thought out the ramifications that come with having a bunch of canines calledd Max* in your car after playtime down at the park? Sure, your pup will love the extra company, but will you?
This is one of the reasons why we stayed away from offering the most commonly heard male names on this page, and only offer distinctive ideas for unique pups like yours.
*Max is voted the most popular male name year after year.
