Cool Dog Names

by Marion Jones

Fashion appears to dictate everything these days. From what you wear to what you name your dog, everything you do is decreed by the need to be fashionable. Cute dog names are hard to come by and even harder to choose. This is because  as soon as something is in fashion, it is out of fashion again.

Who would want to choose a cute dog name that may not be fashionable tomorrow? So, people tend to play it safe, which is why the same names have been around for so long. To try and interrupt that cycle, five cool dog names are given below with our reasons why you should choose one of them for your dog.

Phoenix: What could be cuter than a bird that goes up in flames and then rises from the ashes? Phoenix is one of the cool dog names that will never go out of fashion because it is located in mythology. It has a timeless quality which has surprisingly failed to boost its popularity.

Star: Star is one of the cute dog names because it has so many meanings and connotations that you can struggle to find out where to begin. A star in the sky is a phenomenon and a star can refer to someone that excels in a particular field. It is a high form of praise and thus is definitely a cute dog name.

Lady: Lady is one of the most popular dog names but it is also one of the cool dog names because of Disney. Lady and the Tramp was a huge hit and made the name popular but also gave it some credibility. In this case popularity is second to cuteness.

Elvis: The coolest of cool dog names. Elvis Presley was definitely cool and remains cool today even after his death. It is infinitely cool to name your dog after such a tremendous star who never goes out of fashion himself.

Shadow: There is a dark and mysterious quality about Shadow that makes it a cool dog name. It would be best used on a big breed of dog however, because it wouldn't have the same strong effect with a small breed.

Whatever cool dog names you use for your pooch, it is one sure-fire way to give them an identity of their own and make them memorable in the eyes of others.
