Boy Dog Names: What His Name Says About Him
Dog owners will say that there is no given formula for choosing a name for a new dog. Whether they need to think of girl or boy dog names, usually they will choose something that sounds cool or a name they like rather than putting some thought into what the name actually means. Popular boy dog names can have a variety of meanings, but more often than not the meaning will not suit the dog it is given to. Below is a quick guide to the top five boy dog names and what they actually mean.
Max – This is perhaps the greatest boy dog name going, and the meaning is probably why most people choose it for their pooch. It literally means “the greatest”. Every dog owner thinks that their dog is the greatest after all.
Jake - Jake, short for Jacob, means “conqueror”. This is also an apt boy dog name if said dog takes over the house within moments of setting foot inside it!
Buddy – Buddy is a variation of Budd, meaning “messenger”. This boy dog name may suit a working dog, or one you can train to bring in the newspaper every morning. It is a popular boy dog name and can be widely found within the USA.
Bailey – The boy dog name Bailey is French and means “steward”. This is pretty apt if your dog is responsible and sensible, so it probably is not suitable for a Labrador puppy, for example!
Sam – Sam apparently means “an answer to prayers”. This is a good boy dog name for more sedate dogs that are easy to train, are largely quiet and/or very little work! Any dog like that is truly an answer to your prayers!
It is obvious from the list above that very few people consult name meanings when choosing boy dog names. Instead of going with your first thought, it may be worth taking the time to find a boy dog name that really suits your dog. It costs nothing to have a look.
