Pets are a source of great joy. These delightful creatures share our homes and take up a big part of our hearts. They give us companionship and oftentimes good belly laughs. Their personalities and quirks are just so endearing.
When looking to name your dog, humor is a great place to start for inspiration. The seven names on this list range from funny to punny. Humor is a great way to make everyday life richer.
Kitty
The humor behind this name is pretty obvious. Naming a dog after a nickname for a cat is ironically funny. This could be even sillier if the pup in question was a big, scary-looking type of dog. The possibilities are endless.
Little Bow Wow
This is a punny option. Bow Wow has multiple meanings. There is a rapper named Bow Wow and it's what a bark sounds like. This would be a fun name to shout at the dog park.
Jimmy Chew
Some people love shoes. From stilettos lovers to sneaker heads, there is something for everyone. If you are a dog owner and find yourself with an affinity for footwear, consider the name Jimmy Chew. It’s a play on the brand Jimmy Choo and the fact that dogs love to chew. Let’s just hope your dog doesn’t ruin any shoes.
Waldo
This name invokes images of the famous British puzzle books. It is so fun to search for the character of Waldo. It will be equally entertaining to excitingly ask your pup where they are. “Where’s Waldo? Does he want to go on a walk?” Spoiler alert: The answer is almost always yes, so be willing to follow through.
Winnie the Pooch
Winnie the Pooh is a beloved children’s character who kept Christopher Robin company in the Hundred Acre Woods. If you loved that story, consider the punny name Winnie the Pooch. Your Winnie will love you as much as the original loved Christopher and honey, which is a ton.
Orville Redenbarker
Orville Redenbacher was an American food scientist who is most famously remembered for the popcorn brand that has his name. A punny spin for a dog would be the moniker Orville Redenbarker. Be forewarned: This pup will love treats and possibly be vocal. Life will never be boring with this dog.
Mary Puppins
Mary Poppins is another beloved children’s character. She originally appeared in the book series by Pamela Lyndon Travers. Walt Disney created the classic, award-winning 1964 film that cemented her legacy in popular culture. A punny spin on the classic character would be the name Mary Puppins. Dogs with this moniker will be practically perfect in every way.
