Funny Names For Your Dog
There's a unique charm in giving dogs a human name, but we'd like to take it one step further by giving them names that are best suited to retired gentlemen. Old-man names tend to be dignified, memorable, and pleasantly funny without trying too hard, which somehow works perfectly for many dogs. Here are just five great options!
1. Walter
Walter is a steady, respectable name for a man, and works just as well for a steady, respectable dog who enjoys routine and takes his naps seriously. Even the smallest puppy can grow into Walter with grace.
2. Harold
Harold has a formal sound that gives any dog an immediate sense of importance. It'd be hilariously ironic if used for dogs who are playful, clumsy, or deeply committed to chewing household items.
3. Bernard
Bernard is a name that's calm, thoughtful, and slightly grand, which somehow makes it work for both small and large dogs alike. And if you ever want a softer nickname, Bernie could be a really cute alternative!
4. Clarence
Clarence is refined without being difficult, and you might not see how it'd fit for a dog at first, but it gives them a pleasantly serious presence. It suits dogs who sit politely, stare meaningfully, or expect prompt service at dinner time. In other words, a gentlemanly dog.
5. Stanley
Stanley is cheerful, dependable, and easy to say in almost any situation. Because of its brighter tone, we see it fitting a dog who enjoys walks, snacks, and being included in household discussions.
