Awesome Dog Names

I've had plenty of dogs, but the one name that always made people smile was "Isotope"

Named him after the baseball team on the Simpsons, and I really love chemistry.

name it "kitty". the looks other people give you when you yell "bad kitty" or "come here kitty" are pretty good...

My last dog's name was Genius. He once launched himself off a 10 foot deck to go after a squirrel. Did the whole Wile E. Coyote thing in the air before he crashed down. He was ok, just a little road rash on his chin and belly. Yeah. Genius. He earned that name almost every day. I loved that dog. Point of the story being.... The name should fit the dog's personality.

^^^ thank you, finally someone with some sense.^^^

I had a dog named Rusty. Original, I know.
BUT he was as dumb as a rock and always smashed into everything, so I never called him Rusty. His name was "thud"

My dog's name is timber. He's the biggest clutz i know, can't seem to keep his feet under him! i love him to death though, he's a great dog.

Should have some significance to the owner(s) - something to do with their life style. 4. Should describe a characteristic - physical or behavioral - of the dog. the dog I had for 13 years - best dog in the world - was named "Flash" - as an extra part to #3 my wife is a pretty serious photographer.

I once met a guy that named his dog Matt. I found it weird and for some reason a little creepy. In otherwords avoid names typically reserved for our species.

Two of my favorite dog names: Sketchy, Baby J. The latter dog was found on Christmas.

We always named our male retrievers after North American wildlife:
Badger, Bear, Otter, Buck, Raven . . .

This worked out pretty well until I had to try to explain to my (then) ten-year-old daughter why Beaver might not be a good name for a dog. Recycled the name Badger for another go-around.

Had two female Labs named Lily and Pad. Funny thing was, we got Pad pre-named at three--already had Lily.

best climber dog name I've come across (can't take credit): Layton

My Chocolate Lab's name is Alpine... When she was young it caused a lot of blank stares and laughing when I would scream ALPINE GET BACK HERE... Love that dog. She loves the outside as much as I do.

Fossana... I wonder if we know the same dog.

Though that dog later got its named changed to Alien.
