Unique Dog Names - Lamocha Latte

by Zee
(Miami, Florida)

Mocha was given to me by a close family member! It was a the prefect time in my life because at the time I received her I was pregnant and I just lost my baby and she filled a empty spot in my heart. She's my heart and I love her to death!

I started to think of a unique dog name to give her so I look at her ears and notice that she had slight tan colored ear bend into her white beautiful coat, so I came up with name Mocha which matches with the coffee (mocha latte). The "La" later came along to give her a full name.

Unique Dog Names - Tatonka

by Amber
(Covina, CA)

Tatonka is Native American for buffalo and I think one of the most unique dog names. When I first saw the little Maltese in the kennel with 2 Chihuahua's and a Chihuahua mix I thought of him as a buffalo with those tiny little dogs. My son wanted to name him Biscuit so he might be called that also or instead. We will not get him until Monday as we are rescuing him from the pound.

Maltese Names - Opus

by Jody

We are wine lovers and thought our wonderful Maltese deserved a fine wine name so he is named after the wine "Opus One." He was adopted during Mardi Gras and from Louisiana hence his full name "King Opus" but he goes by Opus.

by Terri

My husband and I were looking for unique dog names for our Maltese. Mesha was the name of Hannibal Lector's younger sister and I loved the name. Makita a boy was named cuz I liked the name Nakita my husband said that was to girlie so I said Makita and it fits...

French Dog Names - Bijoux

I chose this French dog name because I waited 15 years to find another small dog that I really wanted. I had once lived in Monte Carlo and loved their names for everything... "Bijoux" means "Jewel" in French, and my Maltese is my precious jewel!

I never had children, so of course, now I have a "four-legged daughter"!

Unique Dog Names - Lakoda

by lindsey
(wisconsin)

We were looking for unique dog names and wanted our Maltese dogs nickname to be Koda so we changed Lakota with a "T" to Lakoda with a "D". We named him after the Lakota Souix Indian (Native American) tribe. He lives happily with my family and I in Wisconsin.

Unique Dog Name - Motley

by Jordan
(NC)

I had always wanted a Maltese and after begging my mother for months, she finally gave in. I had often talked about wanting to name the puppy "Motley" when I got him as it was a fun and unique dog name. Coincidentally, when I found a local breeder and decided the little one he had available was a possible fit, I came to discover the breeder's last name was no other than Motley!

When we visited for the first time, he had such a fun personality and was a little white ball of cotton bouncing all over the place. The meaning of Motley is colorful and I could not pick a better word to describe his personality. For us, this is the perfect name!

Maltese Cross Name - Joop

by Janine
(Melbourne, Australia)

I got my beautiful male Maltese cross from RSPCA at 3yrs and he is so lovable, I named him after noting the perfume fragrance "JOOP" and we have had no problem him responding to it.

My previous beloved male dog "HOOCH" had gone to rainbow bridge at 14 yrs, the two names are entirely different, yet to me they are nice, short and direct easy names i believe my dogs can relate to.

Unique Dog Names - Laly and Kenji

by Audrey
(France)

Hi I am 32, live in the North of France and am the happy owner of 2 beautiful Maltese dogs : Laly and Kenji. I came up with these unique dog names when I got Laly 5 years ago. It was quite unexpected as I had some fears regarding dogs at that time...I kept her in my arms when we left the shop and her name came to me, don't ask me how and why!! just sounded well, I did not have to think hard! she's my little honey, we are so "linked" to each other, as if we could understand each other just by a look..

My dream then... to have another one! I got Kenji last August and as for Laly it was love at first sight, I had no plan to get another dog THAT day! He's a real tornado and a big chewer of everything he can find! "Kenji" coz it is like "Kanji" the Japanese alphabet and my bf and I are great fans of Japan, it's as well a Japanese first name
Now...I'd love to have another one, another little girl and her name is already found... another unique dog name of Gaïa (Earth Goddess which is precious to my heart)... but I don't know when I can get her, hopefully next summer ^^

Greetings from France to all animals lovers! <3

Unique Dog Names - Ambrosius

by Beth
(Philadelphia, PA)

Ambrosius was the name of the Old English Sheepdog in the movie The Labyrinth, starring David Bowie. I was looking for a unique dog name and Ambrosius was the name of the fictional pup from the fantasy portion of the film. I sadly had to put my Old English Sheepdog, Jax, down this past winter. I named my Maltipom Ambrosius in honor of Jax. Ambrosius actually looks like a miniature version of an Old English Sheepdog since he is grey and white!

Sophisticated Dog Names - Higgins

by Pammela Stockwell
(Brbank, Ca. USA)

Love the musical My Fair Lady and he was such a gentleman, so sophisticated and handsome that my niece thought that Higgins would be a good name. He responded so well to it that became his name. He was registered as Handsome Higgins. You notice I say was. I lost my baby four years ago he was due to be fourteen the following year. My heart will never heal from the loss of this special little man. Little dogs are just lovers and I loved him with all my heart.

Weird Dog Names - Swiffer

He had that name when we got him. Although it's one of those weird dog names, it fits him good. Swiffer is snow white and so funny he likes to get his pic taken we take pics all the time. He even stands and shakes your hand. He is so much fun, we love him dearly. I will put pic up soon.
