More Great Husky Name Ideas
While less common, all of these names popped up in our research, and we think they’d sound great on a husky. Oh, and while we divided these into gender categories, many are gender-neutral. There’s no reason a female husky can’t be named Glacier, say, or a male husky called a great name like Rain.

Many husky names are inspired by Alaska and Russia, the natural world, and cold climates. Who can resist snow and ice as inspiration, after all? (Even though the Siberian husky isn’t an entirely white dog like the Samoyed).
Choosing the Perfect Dog Name

Husky Name Advice
Great husky names can come from many different sources of inspiration, such as your favorite foods, books, celebrities, your heritage, or dog breed history. Sure, your husky puppy might sport a snow-inspired name like Glacier, but you can also choose Prince or Whisky purely because those names make you happy.
Another consideration when choosing your husky’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.”
Of course, what matters most is that the dog name you choose rolls off your tongue. The best Husky names will 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 name. Saying “Sky, it’s time for dinner!” or “Frankie, leave it!” helps take the name out of your imagination and into reality.
Found the perfect name for your husky? Be sure to tag them properly, from customizable metal tags with mountain vistas or tags with fun shapes and bright colors on Amazon. Whatever tag you choose, it’s the name on it that matters most.
