Our guide to the best exotic dog names
Many people are content with tried-and-tested, traditional dog names – but what if you yearn to stand out? Finding true innovation with names often requires us to look to other cultures and languages, and step outside of our comfort zones. Thankfully, there’s a special beauty in what’s foreign and unusual to us, and that’s where exotic dog names come into play.
From the ancient Mayans, to Old Chinese, to Dutch and Gaelic, we’ve assembled a list here of some of the world’s most exotic and unusual dog names. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when looking through it, because most of these ideas will be completely foreign to you. But here are a few tips of ours for selecting a beautifully exotic name.
For male dogs, there’s no better place to start than Kenji. This name is unmistakable Japanese, and breathes vitality into a young puppy, meaning “strong, healthy second son”. Naturally, we see this name most often with Akitas and Shiba Inu dogs, but it’s powerful and versatile enough to work for any breed.
Sticking with the Japanese theme, we also like Maki. Inspiring images of cutely formed sushi rolls, this name probably works better with smaller dogs. And for something completely left-field, we love the sound of the name Safi – an Arabic name meaning “pure”.
For female dogs, our favourite from this list is Lia. This adorably soft name is found in several European languages, including Italian and Greek, and works well for calm, relaxed or gentle pups.
Looking next to Hindi and Arabic, we love the name Sana. We’ve actually never heard this given to a dog before, so you could be the first to give the honor! It means “brilliance” and “intelligence”, so would be a great choice for Border Collies, Labs, Shepherds and other naturally smart breeds.
And our third pick goes to Kona, which is strongly associated with the Kona coffee of Hawaii.
