What’s in a name? For dog owners, it is usually three things: sex, features and pop culture. They are the basis of most dog names, especially the best ones.
Sex: Pet owners often feel the best names for their dogs identify their sex. It has a lot to do with social rules that apply only to humans. People tend to shy away from names that aren’t associated with their child’s sex because it causes them difficulty in making friends at school and navigating through life.
Features: In regards to dog names, you will often hear pet owners say, “Oh, he looked like a Bob.“ A dog’s physical features often inspire his name. It’s why you rarely hear of a Chihuahua named killer.
Pop Culture: Films often influence pet owners to name their dogs after movie characters. It is a way of honoring them and continuing a special feeling that came from watching a particular flick. For example, “Lady and The Tramp” was originally released in 1955 and the name Lady is still popular.
So what are the best dog names? Of course, they are the ones that follow the above pattern. But, for those of you who need more help, below is a list. They are the best and most popular names for dogs according to sex.
GIRLS : Maggie, Molly, Lady, Sadie, Lucy, Daisy, Ginger, Abby, Sasha, Sandy
BOYS : Max, Jake, Buddy, Bailey, Sam, Rocky, Buster, Casey, Cody, Duke
Give your pooch one of these names and he (or she) will be ahead of the pack!
