Want more ideas?

Why not try naming your dog after an Irish city? Dublin perhaps? Or Ennis? Yes, to sound uniquely Irish, you can choose a city in Ireland or any region of Ireland.

Having a hard time? Just sip some local drink, eat some sandwich and cabbage, and listen to the celtic tunes. Inspiration will come naturally. You can also find a name by the luck of the Irish!

Want Help Choosing the Right Dog Name?

We’ve been helping dog parents all our lives and will continue to help, because we love dogs!

Here are some tips if you want help in choosing a dog name.

• Choose a name that is easy to pronounce. Some names sound amazing but saying them over and over become a pain. Try calling the name a few times before deciding on one.
• Call out the name loudly. Do you find it comfortable? Often you will need to call out your dog in public, say for instance, at a dog park. If you hesitate saying it loudly, you should continue your search for the dog name.
• How fitting is the name? The name you choose for your dog should match with his color, gender and personality.

That’s the end of our list of names. If you end up choosing a name from the lists above, kindly let us know in the comments section below. We would be even inspired to work harder for our dear pet parents.

Good luck with your new dog!
