Hiya, I’m looking for unique or funny dog names. I’m hoping to adopt a dog from a rescue soon so I can’t tell you anything about the dog yet. But do you have any ideas? Thanks

Hi, Rach_73. It’s great to hear you’re about to adopt a dog. Most of us here at Canine Journal are rescue dog parents. Not only is it an incredible thing to do, but it’s also so rewarding.
My dog is called Bonkers, which is a very unique name. I can’t take credit as it was his name in the shelter, but I get a lot of funny looks when I call him! My other dog, a Dachshund, is called Chips, which is short for Chipolata.
I love dog names that are the opposite of what they are. For example, a few years back, I met a Great Dane named Shorty, and that’s always stuck with me! Or Brutus or Tank for a little Chihuahua. I also met a Greyhound named Humphrey – he had three legs (Hump-three).
Why not name them after your favorite character? We have a guide on cartoon character dog names, Disney dog names, or Harry Potter dog names for inspiration. Other wacky dog names could be Dunkin Butterbeans, Sherlock Bones, Droolius Caesar, Mary Puupins, Moose, Porkchop, Meatball, Chunk, Sir Barks-a-Lot, Chew Barka, or Indiana Bones. Let us know what name you pick!

Hey there! Super exciting that you’re looking to adopt a rescue pup! 🎉 Since you don’t have all the details about the dog yet, here are a few ideas that could work no matter what. How about names like “Sir Waggington” for a little royal vibe or “Bark Twain” if your dog’s a literary genius? If they’re a bundle of energy, you could go with something quirky like “Zoomie” or “Waffles” if you want a name that just makes people smile. 😄
