English dog names often end with a “Y” and are extremely popular in this country. The original thing about it: names that stand for food appear between the common names. We will introduce you to funny and beautiful names for four-legged friends and briefly explain their meaning.
Before a dog moves into his new home, the question of all questions arises: “What name should the future family member listen to?” One thing is clear: a dog’s name should be easy to pronounce, short and ideally 100% suitable for the four-legged friend, above all his gender (dog names female vs. dog names male).
English bulldogs, for example, often have a funny or strong name that goes well with the grim facial expression or imposing stature. Terriers, on the other hand, are often given names that reflect their liveliness. The following dog names are by no means intended only for the English dog breeds – they suit every furry friend.
