Finding the perfect name for your dog is a special experience and it's no secret that dog names are in fashion. Ten years ago, King and Pepsi were among the most popular names at the dog park, but today you're far more likely to meet a four-legged Olga or a charming Frank.
At Hunni, we meet the most beautiful dogs and their people every day – and we love hearing the quirky, fun and stylish names they have chosen. That's why we've compiled our favorites among the best dog names right now.
Of course, your bitch could easily be named Kurt, but for the sake of clarity, we have divided the list into female and male dog names.

Remember the dog sign
Did you know that it is legally required for your dog to wear a dog tag from the age of 4 months? But it is actually a good idea to give your puppy a dog tag from the start – this way he gets used to it from day one.
At Hunni you will find dog tags of the highest quality. They are lightweight, durable and perfectly fit both small and large dogs. The engraving is deep and clear, so your information remains easy to read, no matter how much your dog flops around.
Once you have found the perfect name for your dog - you can buy a dog taghere
