500+ Unique Dog Names That Are So Much Cuter Than Spot Or Fido

You did it — you’ve just adopted a dog. Congratulations! Now comes the all-important task (besides doggy potty training): selecting the right name. When it comes to choosing a dog name, you want it to be special and fun, just like your precious pooch. While some others might like Bella or Buddy, you want something different. Like the relationship you have with your pup, the name you give them should reflect how unique they are. After all, your dog is different and deserves the best name ever.

Where to start? Sure, you can go with something classic and well-known like Spike or King, but your dog isn’t just any dog. Your dog deserves a name like no other. Lucky for you, we’ve collected a diverse list of unusual and unique dog names so you can “fetch” the absolute best fit.
