Dog names have probably been on your mind quite a bit lately. What exactly do you want to name your new puppy? Choosing the best dog names is very important because it is something you will be saying several times a day for the next several years as your dog grows up and lives with you. You want it to at least be a name you will enjoy yelling.

You could consider regular people names such as Beth or Mikey. There have also been owners who have named their dogs after movie stars such as the good ole Lassie and of course, who can forget The Beast from the movie The Sand Lot?

The great thing about dog names is that they are not held to the strict standards that human names are. You have much more creative freedom for coming up with something truly unique. So make sure you take advantage of this and choose a dog name that people will be talking about.

You may want to consider going with a name that describes your dog and his attributes. An example of this would be dog names such as Tiny, Killer, Beast and even Giant. If all else fails, you can always go with the stereotypically common names of Spot, Fido and Rover.

You know what would be hilarious? Naming a huge dog something that makes it sound small and harmless and naming a tiny dog something that makes it sound huge and ferocious. That is what is so great about naming a dog, there is no rules holding you back. The sky is the limit.

My friend named her black and white dog Oreo, which I thought was pretty clever. My mother named her black lab Sadie. So as you can see, there is a huge spectrum you can choose to go with.

You can literally name your dog after anyone or anything. Ranging from disliked relatives to childhood friends to even super heroes, foods, cities or anything else you can think of.

Just be sure you are comfortable calling your dog when your mother is around or when you are out in public. Swear words or other profanities would probably not make the best dog names.
