Male Dog Names
There are lots of great male dog names that you can choose from. So many, in fact, that it often be hard to decide.
What actually makes a name more appropriate for male dog?
But there is a sure fire way to tell if you’re working with male dog names: imagine giving one to a female. If they work, I would not consider them strictly boy dog names.
Here’s a good example: Image calling a female dog, Butch. It just doesn't sound right.
Names for boy dogs come in several different varieties. Some male dog names make you think of qualities such as strength, courage, power, and authority.
Other male dog names are just associated with men or male dogs that you know or admire.
Male Dog Names that Suggest Strength and Courage
Some masculine names refer to titles that traditionally were held by men (though not exclusively today) or by famous men who held those titles.
Check out these strong sounding male dog names:
- Admiral, Bismark, Captain, Chief, Czar, Duke, Kaiser, King, Lionheart, Major, Midas, Ming, Napoleon, Patton, Pharaoh, Prince, Rex (latin for king), Sergeant, Sheik, Sheriff, Thor, Zeus
Male Dog Names that suggest Power & Authority
Some masculine names refer to titles that traditionally were held by men (though not exclusively today) or by famous men who held those titles.
Consider these powerful sounding male dog names:
- Admiral, Bismark, Captain, Chief, Czar, Duke, Kaiser, King, Lionheart, Major, Midas, Ming, Napoleon, Patton, Pharaoh, Prince, Rex (latin for king), Sergeant, Sheik, Sheriff, Thor, Zeus
Male Dog Names of Famous Men or Boys
Well known men and boys (real or fictional) can be a good source for male dog names.
The names of these famous men make great male dog names:
- Aesop, Aladdin, Alfalfa, Aristotle, Beethoven, Bogart, Bond, Boone, Capone, Casanova, Chaucer, Chekhov, Churchill, Confucius, Cousteau, Cromwell, Crusoe, Cyrano, Dagwood, Dante, Dickens, Einstein, Elmo, Elvis, Fonzi, Freud, Galileo, Gandhi, Gatsby, Gilligan, Hamlet, Hercules, Harpo, Hawkeye, Hoover, Houdini, Kermit, Kirk, Lancelot, Lazarus, Linus, Macbeth, Merlin, Mickey, Nickleby, Noah, Pinocchio, Plato, Popeye, Radar, Rambo, Romeo, Shakespeare, Suess, Socrates, Tarzan, Truman, Zeppo, Zorro.
Some Famous Male Dog Names
I love this category. It’s hard to go wrong with a name that’s already been used by a famous dog (even fictional ones).
Try these famous male dog names on for size:
- Astro (from the Jetsons), Benji, Blue (of the kid’s show, Blue’s Clues), Dino (from the Flintstones), Droopy, Flipper (while not a dog, this dolphin had dog-like qualities), Peabody (from Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons), Rin Tin Tin, Scooby Doo, Snoopy.
Here's a more complete list of male dog names listed alphabetically:

Finding several great male dog names from this list should not be too tough. When you find one that you like, try it on for size. Imagine calling your new dog by that name and imagine living with the name for years to come.
If it doesn't feel right, try another one of the male dog names that you like. Keep going until you find just the right one.
Your dog isn’t going to care what you call him (as long as it’s not “late for dinner”). If you choose one of the male dog names that sounds masculine, people you meet won’t have to guess (or look to see) whether your dog is boy or a girl.
