The Best Celebrity Dog Names, From Fluffy to Gary

Getting a Dog
By Victoria Harrell

What do celebrities name their dogs, anyway? The lives of the rich and famous can seem distant and surreal—private jets, awards shows, paparazzi. But when it comes to dogs, celebrities really are just like us. Sure, they might have assistants picking up their sweet pooch’s less-than-Instagrammable poops, but they’re just as obsessed with their pets as we are. And when it comes to their dogs’ names, they go for anything from the bizarre to the downright adorable.

For future dog-parent inspiration (and just for fun), we’ve gathered a list of some of our favorite celebs’ dogs and their cute, ironic, and hilarious names.

Famous People Naming Dogs After Other Famous People

Because what’s more #relatable, right?

50 Cent and Oprah

Rapper 50 Cent has a dog named Oprah (and so does Eva Longoria, it turns out!). In an interview, Oprah asked 50 Cent why he named his dog after her. It got, um, awkward.

Together with wife Gisele Bundchen, Tom rescued their third puppy, who is a black and white puff of happiness. In a recent Facebook video, Tom hilariously channeled Mufasa as he introduced Fluffy to his “kingdom.”
