Top Male Puppy Names

Here at Alaska Dog Works and Team Ineka (our sled dog kennel) we take great pride in coming up with original names for our dogs. We often name puppy groups in what we call “crews.” For example we have the Rock n Roller Crew with names: Sully, Jazz, Grohl, Cobain, Hendrix and Jagger.We also have a “crew” named after characters in the movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas; Lock, Shock, Barrel and Burton.

If you’re lucky, you’ll meet your dog, get to know him a bit, and come up with an inspired choice. But if you’re at a loss for a great dog name, here are the top 100 male puppy names in the country right now.
