These cool male dog names were chosen with your pal in mind.
Sure, you could choose a typical one that’s shared by every other pooch
you come across, but you wanted one that was cool enough to be
different, while not being too different as to be weird. That’s where
the ideas on this page come in.
The suggestions and lists below were hand chosen by the dog naming experts here at this site for their uniqueness, and that rank high on the cool name scale if there were such a thing. We hope you and your male buddy agree.
Aspen: A cool male name as it reflects the beauty of the fall
colors that come from this tree. Anyone who has been to Colorado during
the fall time knows of what we speak.
*Somewhat similar ideas: Colorado, Sky, Ranger
Bandanna: For the free spirited dog, we can see this
cool male dog name on the pooch that loves chasing the Frisbee and
wearing tie dye shirts.
*Somewhat similar ideas: Hippie, Love, Peace
Cowboy: A cool name for a larger breed, if your male dog moves
around a lot when he sleeps, maybe he’s dreaming of roaming the western
plains, chasing after bandits, coyotes or bobcats.
*Somewhat similar ideas: Buckeroo, Bandit, Bobcat
Dalton: From the days of the old west, this criminal gang
of brothers not only gained riches, but a cult like following. As usual,
this gang lost it all in the end, while leaving us a historic legacy
along with an interesting dog name possibility.
*Somewhat similar ideas: Wyatt, Earp, Jesse, Clanton
Elmer Fudd: Everyone remembers and loves Elmer Fudd from the cartoons. He always seemed to have problems pronouncing the letter “r” like in “Where is that pesky wabbit?” This might make a cool name for a short legged male pooch like a Bull Dog. He won’t mind being called Elmer or Fudd either.
Fable: The word “fable” means having a tale or story to tell. Perhaps you acquired your cool pooch in an unusual fashion, or that there’s a long story behind your finally getting him home. If so, then this male dog definitely has it’s own story to tell.

spends more time in the air than on the ground. Fly here, flying there,
if dogs had wings…he’d be outta here!
