Unique names for dogs according to their characteristics
Although purebred dogs resemble each other, it is always possible to find a distinctive feature that makes them unique. Therefore, take a good look at the color, personality or any other detail of your dog:
Some dogs stand out for their
proud and delicate temperament, typical of royalty. You can be inspired by names of ancient kings, such as Arthur, Francis, Zoe or Salma, or by the noble titles themselves, such as Kaiserin, Tzar, Duke or Princess. In this regard, our list of French dog names could also fit like a glove.
On the opposite side we find dogs that stand out for being
active and crazy. For them we can choose names for dogs like Katrina, Wilma or Igor, used to designate large and devastating
tornadoes.
We can also look at mythological names for dogs , for example those from
Norse or Viking mythology . The Valkyries, for example, were female divinities who led the great warriors to Vallhala (heaven or paradise), while Odin and Thor were the most feared gods.
Although it is rare, some dogs have a coat full of
dreadlocks , such as the komondor. Others have a very "laid back" attitude. Reggae-related names, such as Marley, Matisyahu, Morodo, Ziggy, Sizzla ... and even Hachi or Fuma can fit perfectly for them!
Returning to mythology and history, we can offer a name for a
heroic and brave dog such as
Achilles, Troy and Atreus. In this sense, there are many other dog names that mean strength .
Japanese terms are also wildly popular . So Goku, Akira, Sayuri, Chiyo, Hiroki, Kayoko, Mitsuki or Sakura can be some options. These names are perfect for any manga lover or for those dogs that resemble the akita inu or the shiba inu, for example. You'll find more ideas in our list of Japanese dog names .
For those talking or singing dogs we can offer the name of one of the most famous artists, such as Sinatra, Madonna, Elvis or Amy. We could not stop including geek names , among which we highlight some of the famous Star Wars saga, such as Darth-Vader, Obi-Wan or R2.
