Cute Boy Puppy Names Credit: Svetlana Khoruzhaia, Shutterstock Boy puppy names are also fun to choose from, and many people consider them easier than a female name. Like girl dogs, boy names often reference their appearance, especially their color. It’s also common to give a male dog a warrior-type name or something intending to strike fear into strangers, even though we know they are just big snuggle monsters. Many common human male names make a perfect pet name, so there are plenty of options. Here are a few examples.
