My nine year old female's name is Katanya. I'm going to be getting a puppy, planning on her being a silver sable, this summer and her name will be Rio.

 

Love all the cool names!

Our newest is named Goliath, based on his HUGE paws that he will eventually grow into. I call him Chompers often due to his land shark behavior...

 

Lightning is my boys name.

I ended up "rescuing" a female Hound mix puppy and named her Remi. Not really unique or dark like I usually name my animals but a dark name just didn't fit with her face or personality.

 

Mortisha Addams or "Tisha" for short.

 

My daughter just graduated college and got her degree in criminal justice. She named her shepherd Ruger.. My son is getting pup tomorrow-which brought me to this site. He's stuck on Max however. And we had to put our good boy down not to long ago.. His name was Diego. We also had an Australian shep. And her name was Tikara Tez

 

Ruger is a really nice and unique name. Max is common though.

 

Looking to get a pup very soon and I was very keen on the name Lucifer but my wife said I was an idiot - so it can't be Lucifer.

I was then going to use Kaos which she quite liked - maybe even loves.

Now however, I'm thinking maybe Ghost. The litter I'm looking at is an E litter so if the breeder allows me to name the dog, the registered name will be Exspiravit (Latin for Ghost). I doubt Ghost will be an unusual name, but I like the sound of it.

 

I have herd and even met a few "Ghosts" lol not a bad name, but to me has no special meaning. My newest gsd pup (have 3 currently lol) I named him Mayhem! And it suits him.

Any dog I get has to fit my "theam", its basically, Rhys have to be named after BA characters from shows/movies ect that we watch. We have Dixon, Dexter, Ragnar, Nyssa and now Mayhem lol Booker and molly came named so I couldn't help that

 

How about Wrecks? When out of the puppy stage you can upgrade to Rex.

 

Tired Atlas. That world is heavy! Is it the T litter? Why not just T'Atlas?

 

"Thus, he was Atlas Telamon, "enduring Atlas"

Telamon Atlas

 

I personally like the name Hiram.

 

I figured since some people have trouble naming their puppy/dog, I would help by making a list of names that I like.

Great information shared. I would like to add bit more in this wonderful list. i found a long list of Dog Names online. might u like it.

 

Check more detail of Dog Names

 

I love the name Ajax. Also Dodger, Walker, and Traker. All the "er"s.

Great List! Very thorough job.

 

My current dogs are:

Nebuchadnezzar (Neb for short) - Babylonian king
Xerxes - Persian king (I wanted to name him Bukhtrashah which is Persian for Nebuchadnezzar but my husband was vehemently opposed)
Agis - Spartan king

The best is if a place who has Xerxes's name on file calls (our vet knows how to say it) and I hear 'Uh...um...I'm calling about your dog...uhh...Cerces?'

 

Wanted to name our female GSD Cali (short for Caliber.. I like guns lol), but sadly we have a niece named Kali.. So couldn't do that. We have two little girls (5 and 2) and needed a name that would be easy for them to say. We also are big believers in Karma. Then one day we were driving to the store with her in my lap and i looked at my fiance and said "Karma!" "our house is protected by Karma and God. If you come in uninvited, chances are you will meet one"

So far is seems very fitting. She is always close, never wanders (yet), and loves her tiny humans. No matter what she is doing, if she hears something (or someone) at the door, she instinctively has 100% of her attention on that door.

 

Roux, Fenris/Fenrir, Nanook, and Kai.

 

for a boy, I like "Al" (short for Alsatian)

 

My Grandmother never called them German Shepherds, she always called them Alsatians.

 

We have a Jack Russell mix, that came to us with a name, so we didn't change it. He 'bounces', I always thought that Yo-Yo would have been a good name for him. When we got our GSD puppy, I thought Yo-Yo would be a good name, DH nixed that idea.

When I was a kid I saw the play, "The Odyssey", with Yul Brenner, I named a Doberman pup I'd gotten after seeing that play, Odysseus, then when I got another Doberman pup, I named him Antinous.

dirty insult names

I always get a kick out dog names! Some people are very creative and have stories behind the names they choose. What does everyone call their dogs? I have the 5 Labs- Judd (9), Molly (6), Will (6), Grammer (4), and Stone (2), and the ‘mostly Dobie’ Deana (3).

 

My first dog, a GSD, I named Kajsa. First syllable rhymes with "pie". Such a personality! My whole family loved her.

 

I have been going over cool names in my head for ages. Loving this thread.

I've come up with Blitz, Delta, Fiero, Funster, Fury and Kaia.

 

Female name that I haven't seen yet: Tsarina (or Czarina)

 

Our male is named Enzo (as in Ferarri Enzo, not from the book/movie Art of Racing in the Rain) We want to keep the car theme going and Senna (after the McLaren) sounds like a unique female name, never heard it before For another male I'm stumped.

 

Veyron? Maybe?

 

Defor .. whats defor? D for Dog

Serious one, I've named my fella Zac.

 

Our Joey was born Faust; his first owner named him Joseph. We used both Joseph and Joey.

Our recently adopted rescue dog was born Athena; we kept the name because it’s so different and pretty.
