Dog Names Associated With Lots of Spots

Of course ̶0;Spot̶1; is overdone when it comes to naming your spotted friend. But you want to embrace his coat and give him a name that highlights his markings -- and his personality. By thinking outside the box, you̵7;ll turn those spots into a name you and your family will adore.

  1. Appearance Clichés

    • Aside from Spot, you can give your canine companion one of those other cliché types of names that are often associated with spotted pups. Consider names like Speck, Freckles, Patches, Pepper, Snowflake, Dottie, Checkers, Domino, Oreo, Marbles and Sprinkles, to list a few. These names are sure to highlight your furry friend̵7;s spottiness.

    Vacation Areas

    • Look at a map or a globe and peer into the middle of the ocean. Those little speckles -- or spots -- are islands. Maybe you and your significant other vacationed at an island hot spot for your honeymoon or you̵7;re planning to go to an island next summer. Naming your pooch after your vacation will help you remember your trip for a lifetime. Bahama, Cuba or Rico -- short for Puerto Rico -- are just a few example names of island chains. Or name him after an individual island: Maui, Oahu, Nantucket or even Sugarloaf or Bahia, which are a couple of the Florida Keys. Get creative with that map. All those tiny dots are potential names for your spotted pooch.

    Food Names

    • Any round type of food could be a potential name for your new spotted addition. Start with your breakfast plate. Pancake, Waffle, Doughnut and Bagel, are catchy names for your dotted friend. Take a look at what you̵7;re having for dinner, too. Pepperoni, Meatball and Olive -- like you would have on a salad -- are all round and can be meaningful if that̵7;s what you̵7;re eating during your dog̵7;s first night home. Don̵7;t forget about dessert either. Scoops, Cookie, Lolly or Lollipop and Chips, as in the chocolate variety, are sweeter names for your pooch.

    Baseball References

    • It almost may look like your canine pal is covered with little baseballs, making a sports reference the perfect name for your furry chum. If you̵7;re a fan of baseball, Homer, Striker or Dinger are ideal names. Or you could name him after your favorite ballpark as well, like call him Fenway after the beloved ballpark in Boston, or Camden, after the Oriole̵7;s home field in Baltimore.

    Favorite Locales

    • You probably have your favorite hangout ̶0;spot,̶1; so naming your dog after that locale could be ideal. Think of all of your local watering holes; one of them could be a gem of a name. Kezar, Pippa, Murphy, Wallaby, Binga, Nemo and Caesar are a few pub hot spots from around the United States. Naming your furry friend after a place where you go to unwind or location where you met your honey, will help you bond with your dog almost instantly.
