Our Popular Boy Puppy Names Lists
Alaska: We can see this name as a good fit on a large breed, or a dog that loves nature and always loves his head being out the car window, drinking in the great outdoors. *Somewhat similar name ideas: Montana, Wyoming, Denali
Bandit: Does your boy like grabbing any toy offered and runs away with it? Perhaps he’ll take that toy and bury it somewhere, just like a bandit buries his loot? If your pup has “stolen” your heart and held it for ransom, then this name might be a good fit. *Somewhat similar name ideas: Thief, Robber
Dallas: If you love Texas, or have a dog that’s as big as the state itself, then consider this name. This boy puppy name might also be a good choice if you’re a Dallas Cowboy fan. Hmmm, maybe even Texas might be a good male puppy name.
Dodger: A popular boy puppy name for the dog that loves to dodge from you while playing. Also a good name possibility should you be the fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers. To simplify the name, fans might want to drop the Los Angeles part.
Eddie: If you were a fan of the TV show Frasier, starring Kelsey Grammer, you’ll remember the Jack Russell playing the part of Eddie on the show. This would be a good name if your dog has aspirations for stardom, or you just like how it sounds.
Frisbee: This energetic pup can’t wait to get down to the park for a good game of fetch. Being named after the famous plastic throw disc also known as the Frisbee, being given a boy puppy name like this is sure to get him a lot of attention and hugs.
