I am a fan of unconventional dog names – I constantly say “hey that would make a cool dog name” and them promptly forget what it was. I’ve decided to start this dog names post and I’ll update it as I think of more names that I like.

Liz Bradley is a dog lover who lives in Ottawa, Ontario with her husband, Thomas, and their three little girls, Paddington, Corduroy and Wellington. Paddington is a Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie) and was born in September 2006 - she's a ball of energy and both Thomas and Liz love her to bits. Corduroy is a Malshi (Maltese/Shih Tzu) and was born in January 2008 - she is bold, determined and will lick you constantly if you let her. Wellington, our newest addition, is a one-year-old ShihTzu/Yorkie mix who we rescued in March from Animatch. She is full of energy and her favourite things are bananas, her Kong Wubba toy and curling up on her humans for a nap.
Liz has many sides to her including, photographer and graphic designer... ...read more

Aykroyd and Venkman, nice.
We should have named our dogs that!
Nice list! I do love Argyle. I have a friend who named their pup Kramer (from Seinfeld) since he tends to slide around on their wood floors!
Here are a few more suggestions: Penny, Milo, Otis and Grizzly. (By the way, you have Bailey there twice in the Ottawa Dog Blog Favourite Names.)
Karen – I realize some of them are repeated. I took the list of the top 30 and kept the ones I liked from them!
Great list!
Gunner (ok, I am a little biased)!
How about Chandler? lol and phoebe
I forgot one of my favourite names: Dougal (from The Magic Roundabout)
My Husky is named Pandora
how about Scout, Chief, Sarg, Atticus, George
My goldendoodle pup is named Gordon!
here are some of my dog friends names, Roxy, Woody, Ben, Ranger, Rex, Tex,Pichnoute,Max, Benjie,Neo,Stukie,Daisy. All on my favorite list.
Grace, from Shine Pet Photos (http://shinepetphotos.com) found 2 stray puppies and had a naming contest on her blog to name them. Some people came up with GREAT names, so check out her site as well (read the comments)

Liz your dog name suggestions were AMAZING!! Thank you so much for submitting. This list here is fantastic too. Tobias and Buster were my favorites btw haha! I wanted to name Zoey Lucille 2, but the BF would have none of it.
OMG Lucille 2 – that’s BRILLIANT. It should be her official nickname
How about Bubba? Or George, those are pretty cool dog names. I also like Hector for a male dog, named after the famous Trojan warrior, or Achilles.
Also Apollo is a pretty cool dog name.
Daphne and Venus for female dogs are also good
My dog’s name is Marcus right now… but we’ve had a Daisy, Dudley, Chelsea, Skyla and then there’s Finnegan – who lives with my brother Casey.
My pups name is Kush, I think he has a cute name.
My Toy Poodle’s name is Jazzie
My beautiful Black American Cocker is called Lincoln because he is so regal.
I was reading one of my many Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover’s Soul books last night and one of the stories had dogs named after pasta and I thought that was a great idea!!
Next time you’re looking for names, try pasta!! Fettucini, Linguini, Penne, Fusilli, Tortelini, Rigatoni, Farfalle, Spaghetti, Vermicelli, Gnocci, Macaroni, Cannelloni, Lasagna and even: Noodle!!!
I have a Great Dane Male that is merle. His name is Doctor Pepper. I know. Cheeze but I love it.
My chihuahua’s name is Pepito… Pepi for short. Everybody loves it!
My current dog, is named Lola. My previous dog was named Zonk – for ‘zonked right out.’ When I first saw him at 7 weeks he would run around and around his siblings then plop down on his stomach with all 4 limbs sticking out. It was hilarious!!!!
