10 Trendy Dog Names

So you’ve been thinking about getting a dog for weeks. You go through all the questions you need to ask yourself to make sure you’re prepared for your new buddy — Will I be around enough? Do I want them to be inside or outside? Will I have time to walk them every day? You decide that you’re definitely ready for a pup and find the perfect one! Finally, you bring them home and you’re absolutely overwhelmed with joy to bring home your new furry baby! You want to call your dog over to you, but suddenly you realize you haven’t found a name for them. You want it to be fitting, but also catchy and “cool.”

Any dog lover and dog owner knows that dogs, just as much as people do, have a variety of personalities — there is not one like the other, even if they look the same. Our pets are essentially our babies and we’ll treat them as such, so of course we have to find the perfect name for them.

This list of ten trendy dog names can help you figure out which one of these names best suits your dog and their unique personality!
