I have realized that a lot of the names I like could be classified as “dog” names to a lot of people… which makes a little sense, as I do work with dogs. [name_m]Ziggy[/name_m], [name_m]Rex[/name_m], [name_m]Max[/name_m] & [name_m]Mars[/name_m] are all on my list, for example. I’ve decided to lean into it! Please give me all your favorite “dog” names!
I remember quite a while back on a Nameberry newsletter there was a ‘dog name or human name’ calculator, and mine was very strongly a dog name, according to that [name_f][/name_f]
It’s so funny because I realized recently that a lot of my favorite names of dogs that I’ve met are actually people names. [name_f][/name_f]For example: [name_f][/name_f]I’ve met dogs named [name_m]Baxter[/name_m], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_m]Gibbs[/name_m], [name_m]Romeo[/name_m], [name_m]Roo[/name_m] (and [name_f]Rue[/name_f] and Roux), [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]. I like all of those as names for people. [name_f][/name_f]But to reverse it … [name_f][/name_f]Figgy [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Beau[/name_m] / [name_m]Bo[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Poseidon[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]Gansey [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Stone[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Meeko[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Galaxy[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Zoey[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]Sprout [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Astro[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Hoshi[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Bentley[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Gus[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Callie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ramsey[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Wiley[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Pip[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Brady[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]Husker [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Red[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lucky[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Teddy[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Kingsley[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Pepper[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Indie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Suki[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rosa[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Zelda[/name_f]
Two of my favorite boy names fit this bill for me [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Bruno[/name_m] and [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f] Could I see them on a dog? Yes. [name_f]Do[/name_f] I also want to use them for babies? Also yes
[name_f]My[/name_f] dogs have been [name_m]Norman[/name_m] (Normie), [name_m]Blue[/name_m], and [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f], called [name_f]May[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
I’ve heard [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] often, even though I know a twenty-something named [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and a member of my writer’s group is [name_f]Ruby[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
I’ve never met anyone named [name_m]Blue[/name_m], lol.
