Short and easy canine options
Many owners pay special attention to the task of finding a suitable nickname for their pet. They carefully peer into the temperament of the dog, study the dog’s habits and only after that they begin to search for a suitable nickname.
Some breeders who purchase a puppy for the soul do not need to choose a rare, special and unusual name. They prefer the simplest nicknames that do not have a specific meaning, for example, Jack, Thunder or Lord.
It should not be forgotten that the owner of a small puppy can call his pet the simplest name related to a person’s hobby. For example, if the owner of the dog is fond of marine topics and shipbuilding, the pet’s nickname will sound like Jung, Sailor or Captain. Fans of cinema will undoubtedly call their dogs names that are consonant with the nicknames of famous dogs. For instance, Mukhtar or Rex. On the one hand, it may seem that the meaning of these nicknames hides the significance of the cinematic fanaticism of the pet owner, but in fact these are the simplest and most common names for dogs.
Further it is proposed to familiarize yourself with a list of nicknames for males, among which it will turn out to choose a simple version of the name for the pet: Excitement, Azar, Andor, Butuz, Buran, Buff, Willy, Cog, Wolf, Goofy, Gold, Homer, Proud, Gosh, Don, Jack, Joe, Jim, Emelya, Enny, Yenisei, Jules, Beetle, Juve, Zorik, Marshmallow, Raisin, Emerald, Icarus, Leo, Leon, Len, May, Mickey, Mitya, Otto, Olle, Opal, Pedro, Percy, Perchik, Rice, Grow, Ralph, Sid, Snuppy, Tuzik, Tommy, Hurricane, Uryuk, Frank, Fred, Hippy, Holmes, Chuck, Chappy, Charlie, Ball, Elf, Yarik, Yasha.
How can you call a dog funny?
For modern breeders, the dog’s nickname does not always have to correspond to severity and have serious significance under it. For this reason, they select for their dogs simple comic names that are directly related to the image of the animal and its character. Thanks to the humorous approach in the house where the dog lives with a cool nickname, there is a certain positive, there is always a good mood. Indeed, in most cases, an incredible nickname for a dog has the basis of its unusual behavior.
It is very important for the owner of the animal not to overdo it with a funny nickname, since the chosen name still gives the dog special features of character and behavior. So, for example, you should not call a shepherd Diamond or Fluffy. Otherwise, males will grow soft-bodied and pampered. Accordingly, they will not be able to become good guards and have a strong character.
As a joke, you can call miniature dogs with names that verbally increase their size, for example, a toy terrier will be Hulk and a cute chihuahua will respond to a nickname Elephant or Zeus.
Indeed, it is so unusual to walk around the park among other dogs and call your decorative pet to yourself, calling it one of the suggested names.
In addition, dogs with certain character traits can be called cool names. So, for example, if a dog likes to bark and make noise around itself, it can be called Bell, Bell or Woof. If a tailed friend loves to enjoy various sweets, it is preferable to christen the pet with a nickname associated with food. For example, Cake or Donut.
Many owners are familiar with the problem when a puppy returns from a walk in a fairly dirty condition, as it cannot pass by a puddle, a pile of folded leaves or earth. For such dogs names are suitable Peppa (pig from the cartoon) or the well-known pig Naf-Naf (Nif-Nif, Nuf-nuf).
In thoroughbred dogs purchased for the soul, there may be defects in external data, which can be emphasized when choosing a playful nickname. If the dog has a limp, it can be called Chrome. If the dog has a problem with the ears, the animal is proposed to be nicknamed By ear. For problems with teeth, the most appropriate nickname will be Dracula
Beautiful and rare nicknames
Going for a walk in the park, each person meets on his way a huge number of dogs with special nicknames. Sometimes you can hear incredibly cool names that are very rarely used in everyday life. Thus, the owners are trying to highlight their pet among the crowd, to introduce a friend in the most unique way. For this reason, they are sophisticated and pick up original nicknames, the roots of which are of particular importance.
Often the meaning of a dog nickname corresponds to the professional status of the pet owner. For example, astronomers name their puppies after unique constellations and any other celestial bodies. Car owners can baptize their pet with the name of their favorite car brand, for example, Subaru or Dodge. Women, when choosing an interesting nickname for their pet, are guided by the names of celebrities and famous heroes.
Nevertheless, the names of mythological heroes and creatures are the most unusual, cool and very beautiful nicknames for males. In this case, we are talking about such nicknames as Bacchus, Ragnarok, Jaraxus, Yarilo or Perun. Although from the list, Yarilo and Perun are the most common and well-known names of others.
It is extremely rare, but there are nicknames of dogs that seem like strange gibberish, consisting of several sounds that are not interconnected. And only the pet owner understands what the meaning of the name of the animal is. In fact, there is no big mystery here.
The first letters of the names of the puppy's ancestors are taken as a nickname and are interconnected. For example, if the mother's name was Kelly and his father was Guy, then the nickname of their descendant would sound like Kega or Gake.
Foreign names
When choosing a nickname for a pet who will remain in the family until the end of his days, it is necessary to show great zeal. It is especially important if the breeder wants to give his friend a name with a foreign accent. According to the rules for finding a unique dog nickname, it is necessary to select several acceptable variants of names.The main thing is that the owner of the animal should know their literal translation and understand the meaning, thanks to which it will be possible to choose the most relevant nickname for a four-legged friend.
As additional help, you will need to turn to Chinese, Japanese and even German vocabulary. So, for example, from the German language such names as Dasbest are offered, which in translation means the best. Went down - fast, the dog’s speed is emphasized accordingly. Troy translates as a devotee, which is very suitable for large breed dogs. Glucky - happy Flo - fluffy, Lauter - loud.
The French language in its pronunciation is melodic, respectively, the names are pronounced more gently and subtly. For instance, Jean translates as kind and emphasizes the character of the dog. Yudon - A child, such a nickname is often called lovers to fool around and shame. Gary - a warrior, a true protector of his family.
Kudu translates as a thimble. Such a nickname can be called the smallest and most charming puppy, the size of which will not change during the growth process.
The Japanese dialect cannot be called refined or refined. In pronunciation, he looks more sharply and clearly. Accordingly, names for animals will not have tenderness and softness. For example, nickname Buru in translation means a bull, and in the pronunciation a certain rudeness is felt. Reo is a lion, Haru is a spring, Yoshiko is a child.
The most popular are English and American versions of nicknames for pets. And recently, breeders give dogs two-part names, in simple words, consisting of two words and having a deeper meaning. For instance, Sun Dance (dance of the sun), Pappi Love (puppy love), Angel Aes (angel eyes). In America, it is customary to give animals for festive events. So, for example, on February 14, a guy can present a puppy to his beloved, having named him beforehand Fo Love (for love).
Along with double nicknames for dogs, special attention is given to short animal names, more familiar to others. For instance, Buddy is a friend. Lucky is happy, Smiley is smile, Bob is famous, Bertie is bright. Some dog breeds, whose origins began in the eastern lands, should choose foreign names that reflect the culture of the country from which they came.
So, for example, Askar (soldier), Osmon (sky), Jasur (brave), Dovlet (wealth) can be called a small puppy.
Selection recommendations
Choosing a male nickname for a little puppy is an individual task of each owner or individual family, where the help of outsiders is not acceptable. In this matter, one should not go beyond the reasonable.
The name is given to the baby in puppyhood, but it is important to remember that a charming dog will not always be tiny and over time it will turn into an adult. It remains only to imagine how a cute and charming puppy of the Alabai breed turns into a huge dog. Accordingly, the name Fluffy, given to Alabai at an early age for the quality of his coat will be inappropriate. For this reason, the newly minted owner must represent his ward in adulthood. The same applies to the subsequent fate of the puppy, whether he will participate in exhibitions or live his life in a loving family with a very ordinary life.
For tailed boys with miniature sizes, the process of finding a suitable nickname is much easier. They can be called comic, affectionate, gentle and even formidable names.
Of course, you can choose the nickname of the puppy according to external data, character, temperament.
For dogs of a certain color
In most cases, the color of the dog's coat affects the choice of a suitable nickname. Sometimes the owner calls his pet, starting from the eye color of the animal, although the color scheme of the fur coat plays a big role.If the dog has several colors in color, the predominant shade is taken as the basis of the name.
To date, a huge number of colors of dog hair are known that are ideally combined with each other. For example, black and white, brown and red, yellow and fiery, gray and spotted.
If the dog has an exclusively black color of wool, it can be called traditional nicknames Black or Little Devil. But among the popular names there are options such as Zorro is the owner of a black suit, Raven is the owner of exclusively dark shades of appearance.
In narrow circles, a puppy of black color may be called Blackjack. But at the same time on the street to call him an abridged version of Black.
According to a similar scheme, they give names to puppies with a snow-white fur coat, where the most common nicknames for the boy are Casper and Diamond. Small dogs are best called Snowball. And representatives of large breeds with a snow-white color are preferable to name Edelweiss or Blizzard. Dogs with spotted colors are equated with animals with a marble color. Accordingly, the names of the males should have a contrasting meaning. For example, dominoes, where black and white are combined. Other color options allow you to christen the dog names such as Spot or Pestrick.
Owners of a brown shade of wool to find the appropriate name is quite difficult. And yet, if you break your head slightly, you will be able to award the dog with the most unusual nickname. For instance, Brownie. Even in the name itself there is a sensation of brown color, and the image of a chocolate cake appears in thoughts. No less unique option will be Snickers or Shokko. Coffee lovers will definitely be called a chocolate pet Mocha.
The most difficult task for the new owner is the selection of a puppy of a red color. In this case, not every nickname will be able to fit the pet. For some puppies, the nickname will do. Fire. For others, by name and habits, a nickname will do. Lava. Stately males will proudly wear a nickname Ruby.
As additional options, names such as Fire or Pomegranate should be considered.
For representatives of various breeds
Everyone knows that the name that a living being is given at birth influences its fate in many ways. This factor applies not only to humans, but also to animals. It is especially important to exercise caution in the selection of nicknames for dogs that, in adulthood, can show their thoroughbred qualities.
First you need to remember that the relationship between man and dog arose due to common activities. First of all, the sphere of hunting comes to mind. Since ancient times, dogs have been used as assistants in capturing a wild beast. They helped not only drive the animal into a dead end, but also skillfully burrowed into the burrows to pull out the wild beast. Based on these characteristics, it was important for the owner to call his pet a nickname associated with hunting and having a deep meaning. For instance, Orion.
Few people know, but this name of the constellation has a specific translation - the hunter. In general, there is a sufficient variety of nicknames for hounds dogs. For instance, Wind, Tornado, Lightning. Representatives of large breeds were mainly used to capture a large beast, respectively, their names should imply a formidable character. For instance, Thunder, Tiger or Wolf. Burrowing dogs, for example, dachshunds, with great pleasure will respond to names Mink or Laz.
In addition to the hunting sphere, man was engaged in shepherd's work. Accordingly, he needed an assistant, but not a representative of the human race, but a creature capable of keeping track of a huge livestock population. This creature had to be distinguished by a sharp scent in order to determine in a few minutes the presence of odors nearby.And we are talking not only about people, but also wild animals, from which the shepherd’s assistant is obliged to protect cattle. In addition, shepherd dogs had to have a special intellect, to be able to divide animals into wild and domestic.
It is very important that tailed assistants have a very sensitive hearing. When a threat or danger arose, the dogs poured in a voiced bark, notifying the person of their readiness to proceed to protect livestock. Based on these criteria, representatives of herding breeds were called nicknames such as Watch or Hawk.
The question with a name for dogs belonging to service breeds is much more interesting. The nickname should reflect the strength of the animal, character, athletic qualities, indifference to weather changes. Based on these criteria, you can name a pet Frost, Wind, Baikal, Caucasus, Taiga, North and even Buran. Diver dogs participating in special operations with the rescue service on the water are most often nicknamed Sailor, Boatswain or Navigator. Representatives of medium and large breeds, most often falling into military and police services, namely shepherd dogs or Labradors, must bear magnificent names. Nicknames should be considered as suitable options. Kilord, Baron, Lord.
And if you call a shepherd by the name Dzhulbars, it is likely that in adulthood the dog will show their qualities to the maximum, since the first bearer of this name did a lot of great things during the war.
Not necessarily a thoroughbred dog should appear in the house. Very often a person rescues a street animal from harsh weather conditions. Of course, you cannot drive such pets to dog shows, but they can become true friends. In most cases, street animals appear in the house because of human kindness and mercy. Accordingly, no one will rack their brains over the pet's nickname.
Representatives of noble dogs are called names that reflect the external data of the animal and the features of its behavior. But much more often the nickname of a mongrel corresponds to the color of his coat. Ideal nicknames might be Gypsy, Rudik, Chestnut. If there is a yellow tan above the eye of a noble boy, it will be appropriate to call the baby Eyebrow. Unusual gait of a pet may give the owner a nickname Gallop or Lynx. Small mongrels in most cases have nicknames with a funny hue, for example, Chaff, Raccoon, Ball or Ottoman.
Special attention in choosing a nickname should be given to dogs with miniature sizes. These charming creatures are quite cute and funny, but at the same time have a touchy and vulnerable character. Names such as Bow, Kid or Fantik.
Depending on temperament
The future fate of the puppy is greatly influenced by the nickname corresponding to the character and temperament of the baby. If you take into account these criteria, then the selection of a suitable name will take time. The owner will need to observe the behavior of his pet, see how he reacts to certain stimuli, and study his habits. In order not to fall into trouble in the future, you will need to show a little patience.
If a pet shows stubbornness, shows its “I”, expresses its own opinion, distrustful of strangers, if you feel a sense of danger, you are ready to rush to protect the family, you should reward him with a formidable and serious nickname.
In the case when the puppy tries to show affection, climb into the hands of anyone, even a stranger, tries to make friends with other dogs and watches the action take place at a short distance, you should choose a soft nickname for him.
Indeed, the affectionate Thunder or the evil Kid will look very ridiculous in adulthood.

Tips
Surely many people know that in the scientific field there is a special subsection that deals with the study of names, called onomastics. It also contains the concept of zoononym - the study of animal names.
Thanks to the advice of experienced dog handlers and professional breeders, it turned out to be a useful list of recommendations with which the new owner can give his puppy a unique name.
- Short nickname. A dog cannot remember a name consisting of three or more syllables. The dog’s nickname should be concise and clear, otherwise the pet may be confused and will no longer respond to the call of the owner.
- Preferred sounds. Most dogs prefer hissing sounds to be present in their names, making it easier for them to remember their nickname. It is desirable that the pet’s nickname has very few letters “P”, otherwise the animal in the subconscious mind will begin to compare its nickname with a fighting roar, which will cause aggression.
- Public respect. The owner of the pet, living in a multifaceted society, must understand that the name of the animal should not offend friends and strangers passing by. You can’t call a dog religious nicknames, it can cause unpleasant feelings in other people. The same applies to nationality, although many concepts are ideal for large breed boys.
- Team resemblance. The pet’s name should not be similar to any of the teams studied. Otherwise, the animal is at a loss and will not respond to the call of the owner. Or maybe it will get confused and begin to carry out a team action. On the other hand, a thoroughbred dog can be called a solid male nickname, similar to the team, but in everyday life use an abbreviated version of the nickname, which does not have similarities with the elements of the dress.
- Human name. The owner of the animal should remember: you can not call your pet the name of a person. This nuance will allow you to avoid many unpleasant situations that can occur completely by accident.
- Search for a beautiful name. To facilitate the task of selecting a suitable pet name for a person, there are many sources of information.
These are various sites and forums with a canine and zoological bias, specialized onomastic dictionaries, literature, where interesting nicknames for dogs are often found.
