The Best Southern Dog Names
In honor of the great National Dog Day, we’ve decided to throw in a little country twist to the mix by brainstorming some of the best southern dog names for all of the cute little pups out there.
Let’s get real: dogs are too good for humans. There are just so many adorable qualities about dogs that we as people don’t deserve their cuteness. They’re our trusty companions and they give us unconditional love whenever we need it. Their smiling faces and sloppy kisses are irresistible…how could people not love man’s best friend?
In honor of the great National Dog Day on August 26, we’ve decided to throw in a little country twist to the mix by brainstorming some of the best southern dog names for all of the cute little pups out there. Here are just 10 of the sweetest names for all the dogs out there that have woofed their way into our hearts.
Biscuit
Naming a pet after a delicious food is a prime idea, especially when that food has the great buttery and flaky goodness underneath every layer. Every dog owner should just want to butter up their Biscuit, right?
Bubba
Bubba: a classic dog name that has always been fetch…Mean Girls meets dog humor, anyone? Besides the point, Bubba is just an easy term of endearment for a pup which leaves the perfect opportunity for their name.
Bud
Bud could have a lot of meanings to it. From a nickname for the endearing term of friend or a quick way to say a certain kind of beer, it’s just a short way to show a pup how much you love them.
Honey
What is sweeter than calling a dog Honey? Yes, pun intended. The southern additive shows up with everything and that’s how you should feel about your dog as a pet owner: you want your best friend everywhere. (Bonus points for those who have two dogs and name them Honey and Biscuit. You are the real MVPs.)
Otis
Never forget one of the best pet movies of all time, Milo and Otis. Otis, of course, was the little pug that roamed around with his kitty friend on adventures. Therefore, if someone names their dog Otis, they’re in for a fun life with that puppy.
Ranger
Some people associate the South with all the good old-fashion films with cowboys and robbers. Thinking about the police ranger, it’s almost as if John Wayne would root for naming a canine after the classic Western films.
Sawyer
Inspired by a fictional character who lived along the Mississippi River back in the day, this name serves the purpose of both the southern tradition and cuteness level. Maybe the pup will meet a friend at the dog park named Huckleberry or Finn!
Scout
Another book character inspiration, another dog name on the table. For those who don’t know where Scout comes from, time to flip open a copy of the American classic, To Kill a Mockingbird. Scout shows strength and great promise, just as a hound would do for his or her owner.
Willie
Picture it: calling out to your sweet pooch, Willie, as he pitter-patters down the hallway to come give you some canine-lovin’. The name rolls off the tongue for many cool dogs, even if they always have their tongue out wagging away.
Yeller
Aw, Yeller. It goes back and forth between a great dog name or how someone with a thick Southern accent says the word ‘yellow.’ Either way, an owner can’t go wrong with naming their dog after the film about a boy’s love for his best friend.
