Animals are the best. They are amazing creatures who can adapt to harsh climates, perform astounding physical feats, and are just so darn cute. Many people consider dogs their favorite animal. To honor all the rest of the creatures, consider naming your pup after one.
The seven names on this list celebrate our furry, feathery, and scaly friends. These monikers can be funny or sweet. The same thing could be said about dogs.
Kitty
This moniker falls into the funny category. It’s ironic to name your dog after a cat. They might get made fun of at the dog park but that will only build character. Dogs with this name will love tuna fish.
Tiger
This is another feline name. Tigers are fierce though so no one will mess with this pup. Plus when you want your dog to fetch something you get to say “go get 'em Tiger.” That would be fun.
Deer
This animal name doubles as a term of endearment. When dogs with this name do something silly, you can say “oh Deer.” Dogs with this moniker will be big fans of The Sound of Music.
Dingo
A dingo is essentially an Australian wild dog. Some have even been domesticated. The word comes from the Dharug language spoken by Indigenous Australians who lived near Sydney.
Goose
Did you know that sometimes geese are used instead of guard dogs? They are loud when unwanted intruders approach areas they are not supposed to be in. For this reason alone, the name Goose would be a great moniker for your pup. It also pays homage to the Tom Cruise movie Top Gun.
Turkey
Here is another name for dog owning bird lovers. Benjamin Franklin wanted the national bird of the United States to be the turkey. He lost that fight to the eagle but many Americans eat turkey to celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s a consolation prize of sorts.
Moose
A moose is technically a deer. It is the largest member of the deer family and the second-largest land animal in North America, trailing bison. If you had two dogs, you could name them Moose and Goose embracing the rhyme.
