Fancy Yourself A Foodie? Here’s The Best Culinary-Inspired Names For Your Pup

There are two types of people in this world, the ones who consider food fuel and those who love the experience of eating. If you find yourself in the latter category, you’re a foodie. When you are looking for inspiration for your dog’s name, look no further than your favorite dish.

Food names are so fun. They celebrate the joys of cooking and, more importantly, eating. Dogs with one of the seven names on this list are sure to be gourmets. Be prepared with the finest dog chow and treats.

Tater Tot

The potato truly is such a versatile and special vegetable. Arguably one of its best forms is the tater tot. The character Napoleon Dynamite certainly loved them. This classic comfort food makes a great name for a pooch.

Peaches

If fruits are more your style, consider the name peaches. It has a double meaning if you are from the state of Georgia, which is known for growing superior peaches. Beyond its Southern connection, it conjures up images of cobbler and sweetness.

Brie

Cheese is just so delicious. Brie gets its name from its place of origin in France and is made from cow's milk. It’s soft, smooth, and yummy — rind and all. This cheesy name works great because it also sounds like the human name Bri.

Pumpkin

Some humans claim pumpkin-flavored foods are seasonal and basic. These people are misguided and wrong, but they do say it. Pumpkin is used in a variety of dishes, from pies to lattes. It’s also a cute term of endearment, making it the perfect dog name all year long.

Making yourself a cup of tea is an act of self-care. Getting yourself a dog and naming it Chai is another way to show yourself love. Your dog will fill up your metaphorical cup when you are feeling down. Dogs are good at that.

Peanut

This legume does it all. From trail mix to sandwiches, it is a trusty source of protein on the go. The moniker is used to describe Charlie Brown's group of friends in the cartoon, so it's Snoopy approved. It makes a great standalone name as well because it's another term of endearment. It would work especially well for small dogs.

Pancake

There’s nothing like waking up late on a Sunday morning to the smell of pancakes. The only thing that could make that event even better is having a wagging tail greeting you. This pup would, of course, be named after the delicious breakfast food so you would be doubly blessed.
