Top funny names for your family’s adorable furry friend

Do you have a silly streak? Does your dog have one too? Think beyond basic doggy names like Spot, Buddy, or Bella to come up with the perfect playful moniker for your new furry friend. We compiled some of the best comedic, political, sports, and pop culture names to give you inspiration for funny, punny dog names—for girl and boy pups.

Read through our list and see if you can find a match for your dog’s personality. Keep in mind that the longer and more elaborate a dog’s name is, the less likely your pup will know it’s his. When creating a completely over-the-top name, you’ll need to shorten it to a single syllable (or two)—for your benefit and your dog’s.

Whether you find inspiration in irony and wordplay or a character that cracks you up, let funny dog names be your inspiration. Below, is a list of hilarious doggy names that will make you smile.
