Top 100 Funny Boy Dog Names

If you’re looking for the best funny boy dog names for your comedic canine companion, we’ve got you covered!

A lot of us pride ourselves on being clever when we name our new fur baby addition to the family.

The comedy can come from a play on words of real celebrity names, names of food, or just from cute words and adorable characters.

If you want to put a smile on the person’s face when you first divulge the name of your pup, then this list is for you!

We have once again done the legwork to find monikers that will not only crinkle the corners of one’s eyes but hopefully also bring a smile to your lips.

How to Choose the Best Funny Dog Name (That You’ll Still Love Later!)

Before you dive into the list (again!), here are a few tips for picking a hilarious dog name that still works when you’re calling your pup across a dog park.

✔ Make it personal – Does your dog have a weird quirk? A “Mr. McFluff” attitude? A “Taco” obsession? Lean into their personality or appearance.

✔ Test the name out loud – It should be fun to say, not awkward. Try saying it three times like you’re calling them in public. If you’re still smiling, it’s a winner.

✔ Avoid anything confusing – Funny is great, but skip names that sound too much like commands (like “Kit” sounding like “sit”).

✔ Think about longevity – What makes you laugh now might still need to feel good 5 years from now. Pick humor that holds up!

What Makes a Dog Name Funny?

Funny dog names usually fall into a few beloved categories:

• Celebrity puns (like Bark Ruffalo or Howl Jackman)
• Pop culture twists (Dogzilla, Indiana Bones, Fresh Prints)
• Food names (Meatball, Pup Tart, Waffle)
• Naughty-but-nice behavior names (Sir Poops-a-Lot, Scooter, Mr. Licks-a-Lot)
• Silly titles and made-up surnames (Lord Wagglesworth, Mr. McFluff, Dumbledog)

And the best ones often combine two or more—bonus points if it makes grandma snort-laugh.

The celebrity dog puns are our favorite, but we also managed to find some cute names that illustrate a dog’s tendencies (Scooter and Barks-a-Lot) as well as ones after food (Meatball, Burrito, and Taco).

Names and puns after cute characters such as Cookie Monster, Bilbo Waggins and Fresh Prints (of Bel Air) also caught our attention.

Which boy dog name was your favorite?  I know this is a tough question since there so many clever and humorous names on our list.

Our favorites are Excalifur, Santa Paws, Jabba the Mutt, Furcules, Spaniel Craig, and the list goes on and on.
