Naming your dog Hades is a respectable move. It's a bold, and quite cheeky nod to Greek mythology.

Hades, the god of the underworld, was misunderstood, not evil. He was just doing his job, right? Like your dog when he steals your socks or bolts after squirrels in the park.

Plus, it's a great conversation starter at the dog park. "Oh, this is Hades, lord of the underworld, chewer of slippers."

Hades is a name with a rich history, a dash of humor, and a hint of rebellion. And if your pup has a mischievous streak or a regal demeanor, Hades could be the name you've been looking for.

You've gotta admit, it's way cooler than naming him Fido.
