Getting a new dog requires doing a few things. Picking out a new bowl, collar and leash is a breeze. Picking a name? Not so much. A dog isn't like a hamster or goldfish whose name is just for show. A dog learns his name and responds to it for life, so make sure it's one you love.
Names are pretty personal. That's why it's important to choose one that speaks to you. Here are a few unique boy dog names to kick off your name search.
Acorn

Simple, nature-inspired and sweet. Acorn is a great name for a small dog, especially one with golden or brown fur.
Albus
/granite-web-prod/2b/89/2b8963887e3f467d8f98934752955a00.jpeg)
This Harry Potter-inspired boy dog name is great for the literary dog owner.
Cozy up next to Albus and read him a chapter, why don't you?
Atlas

Powerful. Stately. Strong. The name Atlas rolls off the tongue while you're trying to get your pitbull to come back at the dog park.
Or, alternatively, while you're trying to get your pint-sized Pekinese off the couch.
Banjo

A boy dog name for the bluegrass fans out there. It's cute, but with a healthy dose of attitude.
Bixby

How posh. Bixby sounds like a British butler, and we're here for it.
Cinder
/granite-web-prod/3d/29/3d29d7e27e7a45b394afec03d3680fd3.jpeg)
We love this boy dog name for dogs with reddish fur, like dachshunds and basset hounds.
If you have a girl dog named Ella, even better.
Dino

Rawr. Dinos are tough, just like your ferocious bundle of kisses.
Happy

It's hard to go wrong with Happy. Bonus points for owners who name droopy-faced bulldogs this.
They're obviously smiling on the inside.
Kevin
/granite-web-prod/14/76/1476736f5e984c9a815fe84600debbe8.jpeg)
There's something inherently hilarious about people names for dogs. Imagine if he ran off and you had to yell "Keeeviiiiiiin" down the street.
What would the neighbors think?
Kodiak
/granite-web-prod/67/a1/67a1021257e04abbac77146bbe5255fe.jpeg)
Kodiak is another name for brown bears. If you need a boy dog name for a massive, lovable fur beast, Kodiak might be it.
Moose

Now this one's just funny.
Moo Shu
/granite-web-prod/0b/97/0b97c9a0976a4d16b4975a65416a5549.jpeg)
Come on, you have to admit Moo Shu is a cute boy dog name.
If the little, feisty dragon from Mulan was your favorite character, why not name your new pup after him?
Noodle
/granite-web-prod/7f/c9/7fc97e097df04a11a6c224a6d5285439.jpeg)
This type of Noodle isn't for eating. It's a pretty common name for long-bodied dogs, but it's a cute boy dog name for big, tough-looking pups, too.
Imagine a Rottweiler named Noodle.
Fun, right?
Potato
/granite-web-prod/6d/be/6dbe7a81566648b7bd97ce22b90c92ae.jpeg)
The name's Potato. Couch Potato.
This unique boy dog name is inspired by comfort food and all things cozy. Haters gonna hate, potatoes gonna potate?
Whatever. It's an awesome dog name.
Watson

Elementary, my dear Watson.
This unique boy dog name is best for inquisitive dogs, especially those with a buddy named Sherlock.
Yeti
/granite-web-prod/ad/23/ad23067291e540989b75d20303b7684a.jpeg)
If you need a boy dog name for a fluff monster, especially one that's white, it doesn't get any better than Yeti.
Bonus points if your dog is huge.
