Does your dog have a middle name? If so, you’re not alone. Or maybe you’re wondering if dogs can have middle names? Well, yes! In fact, many pet parents around the country have chosen to give their new dog more than one name. After all, our dogs are family members, too. Good dog middle names can be anything from your second-favorite first name choice to a nod to family, pop culture, or your dog’s appearance or personality. Read on for the top dog middle names from Rover.com‘s Top Dog Names.
Digging into Rover.com’s dog names’ database, we found that rhythm and flow have a lot to do with popular dog middle names. Many of these top picks are one syllable (Mae, Belle, Rose) and pair well with longer first names.
Other middle names for dogs are clearly all about the cuteness. The sheer number of dogs named “___ Bear” shows just how irresistibly cuddly we find dogs, for instance!
