Are you looking for a unique name for your new dog?

Pet parents commonly get new dog name inspiration from movies, lists of popular dog names, their dog’s personality, foods, human names, baby name lists, books, fictional characters, historical figures, titles, and much more. For example, after Game of Thrones was released, there were new dogs with names like Arya Stark, Sansa, and Daenerys.

There are common and popular names for dogs, like Maggie, Max, and Ginger that make the list of top dog names yearly, but it’s always cool to do something original and choose from the almost-limitless list of unique dog names.

Unfortunately, the rarer the name, the harder it is to document. So, we decided to create a database of some of the best unique dog names, suggested by PetPlace.com pet parents like you!

Read on for hundreds of unique dog names to suit just about any dog in the world, from Terriers to Mastiffs and everything in between.
