Some Favourite Male Puppy Names

October 2, 2008 by Richard Cross

A common problem that people have when they first get a dog is choosing a name! It’s much more difficult than you first realise to get the perfect name, but it’s important to choose a name as early as possible so the puppy learns from a young age that when you say that word you require its attention.

If you have a male dog, here are dome male puppy names that you could use. These are just suggestions, so if you have any of your own favourites you could add them to the comments section below!

• Murphy
• Biggles
• Ace
• Cisco
• Hammer
• Chopin
• Sherlock
• Amigo
• Cody
• Cinder
• Darth (OK, I couldn’t resist putting this one in, sorry!)
• Pickles
• Baxter (Anchorman anyone?)
• Jasper
• Toby
• Rex
• Frazier
• Rover

As you can tell, I like my names to be a little different. There is always some classics like Rover though that can suit most male puppies. Names are so subjective and everyone has different tastes, so I’d love to hear yours in the comments section!

Personally, I tend to try and shy away from common human names, but sometimes you’ll find that it just fits the personality and look of the puppy.

Getting the right male puppy name is important, as changing it would only cause a lot of confusion for you and the dog later down the line! Dogs are creatures of habit and it would be very difficult to train a dog to use a different name if you decide you don’t like it.
