If you’re getting a new dog or puppy, you need more than just a gorgeous lead and a chew toy or two—you need the perfect name. Celebrities famously choose unique baby names—Apple, Maddox, Blanket—while the rest of us tend to be a little more reserved. But when it comes to dog names, all bets are off. Obscure Harry Potter references, world travel, sci-fi sidekicks—they all serve as inspiration. After all, our dogs are special, and they deserve personalised names just as much as personalised care.

We’ve reviewed our database of users and scoured the best corners of the internet to bring you this list of unique dog names and naming trends.
