The 300+ Most Unusual Male Dog Names

So the time has finally come. You’ve chosen your male dog and want the perfect name for him.

Whether you’ve got a pup from a breeder or you’re getting that amazing canine from your local shelter, you wanna be comfortable with the name you choose as it will stick with him his entire life.

With rescues, giving our dogs an unusual name can be even more meaningful.

Think of everything these dogs went through and the names previous owners gave them or the names people have given a street dog on a whim when petting him on their walk.

Well, that’s over. You’re searching for a really unusual name for your male dog. It should be unique and be the perfect fit for his personality.

It’ll be his last name because you two will stick together no matter what.

And to help you choose the perfect name, I’ve compiled this list with hundreds of dog names.

Write down each and every name that would be a good fit for your male puppy and carry them with you for a few days or even weeks.

Which sound the most natural to you and you simply won’t get tired of hearing them?

Keep in mind that the name you choose should not be able to be confused with any other name in your family or circle of friends.

Also, it shouldn’t sound like any commands you are using. Now, let’s choose a name for your boy!
