Unique Male Dog Names - Stylo

Stylo Clause the Maltese

I was thinking of unique male dog names for my Maltese and came up with Stylo. Before I adopted Stylo I was going to get a female Maltese and name her Stella because that is my favorite female name. Unfortunately, Stella died after her first immunization and a male dog was the only one left in the litter. After much contemplation, I decided to adopt the male dog and change the name Stella into the masculine version. Although, Stellio is the actual male version, I changed it to a simpler name, Stylo. My male Maltese is Stylo and he fits his name well.

Unique Male Dog Names - Cluny

Cluny's full name is Cluny Boga Sine, which in Gaelic translates to from the Rainbow Field. It is one of the most unique male dog names I came up with.

Cluny was born on June 13th, and we had Clancy put down on June 14th.

Clancy crossed the Rainbow Bridge on the 14th, and Cluny came from the Rainbow Field on the 13th, I imagine a meeting in the middle where they exchanged greetings and Clancy told Cluny what to expect out of the new Mom.

Odysseus - Ody for short

Ody after his first haircut

The same day I adopted my Maltese Ody, a friend adopted a female Toy Poodle. They were going to name the Poodle "Penelope." The night before, the History Channel had a show on Greek myths, and talked about Odysseus.

In the myth, Penelope was Odysseus' wife's name. So I thought the names would go together.

In the end, the friend named their dog Sofie, but by then, Ody had already begun responding to his name. So it sticks.

Everyone thinks I named my Maltese after the dog in the Garfield comics, Odie. But I didn't.

Sitting up like the little man he is

Well I was thinking about unique dog male names and my Maltese was just so sure of himself and was absouletly positive that he fit into the family. When I first saw him he was so affectionate. I mean my Maltese picked me before I could even decide a pick for myself, so I decided to give him a family name for a family dog.

We were looking for Spanish dog names for our Maltese dog. So we chose this name because it means lazy in Spanish.

Booney Best Williams

by Lynn Williams
(Wilson, NC)

I teach middle school, and the day I was going to get my puppy, I was teaching 6th grade. I had thought and thought of a really good, neat name, and nothing came to me. So I had my students do a brainstorming session on dogs' names. One of my students whose last name was Best told me his very first dog was named Booney. There were probably over 75 names on my list, and I still didn't have a clue what I was going to name him.
The very minute the man put that tiny, Maltipoo snowball in my arms, I fell in love.

I had just had a stroke at the age of 32, and this was one of the best feelings I had since my stroke. He asked me what his name would be and out of all the names mentioned, Booney came to mind. It fit him perfectly. So in honor of my student, I named him Booney Best Williams. The BEST name ever!! As I have said before, Booney was the best medicine I had.

Black and White Dog Names - Penguin

by AnnaBelle
(U.S.A.)

My neighbors have a Morkie named Penguin, but it is in Spanish. I think it is one of the cutest black and white dog names. She is very cute! She has black and white markings. She has such a cute personality, you can put her on her black and hold her like a baby and she will cuddle into your neck and it is so cute! They are going to try to get her to have puppies maybe and I might get one! I think that they will have a cute personality just like their Mother!

When I first got him as a puppy, he looked like he was wearing a little cashmere sweater. I thought it was a unique male dog name. Changed the spelling to Kashmir for fun.

Italian Dog Names - Bacci

When we first received our baby boy he wouldn't stop giving kisses when we held him so our daughter looked up what kisses meant in Italian. And that's how he got his name Bacci (Ba-chi). Love him when he's not barking. :)

When I first got him, he was sooo adorable and I really wanted to name him something unique, not like alot of these common names. On the radio, Classics IV was singing "Stormy" and I just love the song. So I thought, What a perfect unique male dog name for such a perfect puppy. His little growls even song like thunder rumbles!
