I’ve decided on Reagan for a dog’s name. Pretty helpful article, don’t have a new dog, but if I ever get one, I know what it’s name will be… Lol

I have a lab/pit bull mix that has a shimmering almost-all-black coat except for a couple of white, star-shaped marks on her chest, so I named her Astra. I agree that names from other languages or from myths, like Argos or Maera (both dogs from Greek myths), work when they are 1- or 2-syllables and not hard to pronounce.

We have two Cocker Spaniels in my family. A four year old called Echo after the nymph, and her daughter (my dog) called Tarka after the otter. Two of the best dogs ever!

I had a female pitbull i found in a dumpster. She was jet black so i first called her JET. I changed it a few days later to Jetta (so she could feel lady like). Best dog I have ever owned. Name suits her well since shes a runner.

I’ve owned many irish setters over the years, and always named them after trees, as in willow, teak, cedar, holly, and maple. no offensive, and I always can say that they are all smarter than what they were named after.

I knew AOM was the place to come to while looking for dog names! Thinking of getting a golden very soon and was trying to think of a name. How about names after places? I was thinking “Tupper” after the Adirondack lake!

Our late, much beloved Choc Lab was named Lizzy. Named after a Jane Austin heroine or a character in the video game ‘Rampage’, depending on who you ask, me or my sons. Our current dog, a dachshund, is named Crash. He’s a rescue dog who survived a hit & run accident & was abandoned at the scene.
