Peruse the following list of the top male dog names of 2024 for some pet-naming inspiration.
1. Milo
Coming in at the top spot for the trendiest boy dog names is Milo. The name stems from Slavic roots, meaning beloved and merciful, but you can argue that many pet owners may have been inspired by the world-famous Milo Ventimiglia, who stole countless hearts in his roles in “Gilmore Girls” and “This is Us.”
2. Max
Landing in second place of top names is the classic moniker Max. It is sweet, simple and easy for most dogs to recognize, thanks to the short, single-syllable cadence.
3. Teddy
This nickname for Theodore stems from many sources, but in America, few can match the nod to one beloved hall-of-fame, face-on-Rushmore president, Theodore Roosevelt.
4. Charlie
Charlie is a classic, two-syllable honorific that can either be a shorthand for Charles or a name with German origins that means “free man.”
5. Cooper
Cooper is one of those trending names that works for both animals and children alike. It is a Middle English occupational name shared by anyone who crafted barrels and casks.
