Weimaraner Naming Trends
The biggest influence on Weimaraner names has to be their color. Most Weims have a coat ranging from a dark, mousy blue-gray to a light, silvery gray. Some individuals have a warmer tone with hints of ambery gold or brown to them.
Top Weimaraner color names definitely call on their blue, gray, to white palette including Blue (the #1 name for Weims) and Sky (#17), Lily (#11), and Luna (#3).
When born, Weimaraners have a subtle striped pattern and blue eyes. As they mature, their coats shift to a solid gray, though they can have a white patch on their chest. A Weimaraner’s eyes are always light and amber in hue.
