If you recently adopted a puppy and you are on the lookout for unique and awesome names – we are happy to help! Dog owners who want to make their new pup stand out at the dog daycare and park may want to check our list of unique names.

Choosing a name can be quite difficult for some of you since naming your furry friend is something you do only once in their lifetime and you want it to feel special. Some people may be comfortable naming their canines something simple like Jack, Bruno, Maria, Sophie, or the like. We are going to give you a list of pretty unique names that can be conversation-starters for the shy dog owners among you. However, these can serve as good starting points if you might be looking for a name that expresses the temperament of your dog better.

It may be a good idea to name your dog after something that brings you joy and happiness like a certain type of food like Banana, Mozzarella, Ketchup, or anything else along these lines.

Many dog owners decide to name their dogs after characters from their favorite movies like Batman, Groot, Balto, and so on.

If your family has roots in more than one culture and language it is a good idea to search for dog names your ancestors have used.

Try to choose a name that is easy to pronounce and keep it simple.
