Many pet parents choose to give their dogs a human name. After all, their pets are part of the family, too. That’s why you meet so many dogs named Max, Sophie, Bella, and Oliver.

But for other pet parents, the standard issue baby name just won’t do. They want their dog’s name to reflect their passions, sense of humor, or background.

This list of dog names ideas is crafted especially for people who love a cocktail, a cold beer, or a comforting glass of wine. We’ve handpicked great alcohol names for dogs by digging through our Rover.com database of dog names nationwide.

Dog Naming Advice for New Pet Parents

Are you still uncertain about which moniker to choose? You’re not alone. Some dog owners just know their pet is a Bailey or Morgan as soon as they make eye contact, but many other pet parents need time to try out various options.

If you’re having trouble deciding, keep in mind that a cute dog name can come from many different sources of inspiration, such as your favorite foods, books, celebrities, your heritage, or even dog breed history. For example, a French bulldog puppy might sport a French-inspired name like Chloe, while a German dog breed could carry a name like Bruno.

Another consideration when choosing your dog’s name? Dog training. This is of particular importance for puppies. When you’re teaching your new dog to respond to commands like sit, stay, or come, you’ll want to be sure their name isn’t a source of confusion. In other words, avoid puppy names that sound like a common dog training cue, such as “Bit,” which could easily be misheard as “sit.” Many dog experts recommend choosing a name with at least two syllables and a sing-song or vowel sound at the end.

Of course, what matters most is that the dog name you choose rolls off your tongue with ease. You’ll want to select a name that you feel comfortable repeating because you’ll be saying it…a lot. Your dog’s name should make you happy! We’re fans of the “backdoor test” for dog name selection. It’s pretty much what it sounds like: stand at the back door and call out your new dog‘s potential new cute dog name. Saying “Whiskey, it’s time for dinner!” or “Martini, leave it!” helps take the name out of your imagination and into reality.
