Is your male dog a larger stocky dog or a smaller Chihuahua with delusions of grandeur? Then he also needs the right name! Anyone who hears the name of your characterful four-legged friend knows who is the boss at the dog park - or would like to be! You're sure to find the perfect name for your imposing darling in our list of strong male dog names.

In a nutshell

  • prefer original name instead of following trends
  • Say the name out loud and let your gut decide
  • Distinguish dog names from common commands

Find the right dog name

We know it's not that easy to decide on the perfect dog name. That's why we want to give you some tips that can help you find a name. Because it doesn't matter whether it's a strong male name or a sweet and cheeky dog name, you should pay attention to a few basic things when making your choice.

Don't just follow trends

There are always new trends in dog names. Be it names of well-known four-legged friends from current films or series or the trend to give dogs an old German name. Trends come and go, but your dog will be with them for a lifetime. That's why you should also give him an original strong dog name that suits him well in terms of character, appearance or breed.

let your gut feeling decide

Finding the perfect one for your furry friend from the large number of names is not that easy. You want to do everything right and not find out at some point that the name does not suit your dog at all. Let your gut feeling decide, say the name out loud and you will often notice which one suits your dog and which one does not.

As cute as puppies are, they need a strong name for the rest of their lives.

Fritz, seat?

Another important point is to differentiate the dog name from common commands. The name should not be too similar to the commands as this can easily confuse your dog. Addressing your male dog with “Fritz, sit!” can be a bit of a challenge for your darling.

frequently asked Questions

Which male dog names are particularly rare?

Names from less popular languages such as Swedish (e.g. Alrik) or ancient languages such as Gothic (e.g. Atta) are rarely used, but their brevity makes them well suited to your male dog.

Can I name my male dog after a prominent role model?

Many celebrities own dogs. You can also get ideas for their choice of names. For example, David Beckham's dog is named Coco. Or how about "Nash", as the singer Pink called her dog.
