Funny Names for Scary Looking Pets

150 Funny Dog Names for Your Hilarious Pet

This list of funny dog names will help you pick the perfect name for your new dog or puppy, and bring a smile to your face.

If you've got a silly streak, you'll want to think beyond the basic dog names like Spot, Buddy, or Bella. We sampled some of the best comedic, political, sports, and pop culture inspirations to create this list of punny, funny dog names for both girl and boy dogs.

Survey the list and see if you can find a match for your dog's personality, keeping in mind that the longer, more elaborate a dog's name is, the less likely your dog will have a clue it's his. When creating a completely over-the-top name, you'll want to shorten it to a single syllable (or two) for daily use. A sweet and sassy Lucille Ball might be called Lucy, for instance.

Whether you find inspiration in irony and wordplay or a character that cracks you up, let this list inspire you to find a name that will make you smile.
