List of Unisex Dog Names

Here are several options of unisex dog names for you to choose from:

Names Influenced By Looks

Here you can find a perfect unisex name for your puppy based on its most outstanding physical feature. So let’s see if you can pick a gender-neutral name that perfectly describes it.

Does the size of your pup always catch people’s eyes? Then it can be because your dog has a heavy, thick-set body, and Chunky can be a good option. However, even though the name can sound funny, pay attention to that. You might unconsciously encourage obesity since “it’s cute and part of the name”. We all know that it is not a good development for dogs.

On the other hand, if you have a small dog with a well-proportioned body and a brown coat, name it Freckles or Donut. It will be a name that will identify your dog quite quickly and obviously. And yes, it does look and sound funny and cool.

Moving on, what happens if you have a dog which main characteristic is its beautiful coat? Then you can call it Fluffy or Furball, don’t they sound funny and adorable at the same time? We have been thinking that breeds such as the Pekingese and the Shih Tzu, fit perfectly in this description.

Gender-Neutral Dog Names Inspired by Personality

Some dogs have one-of-a-kind personalities, so you acknowledge that its name must be related to its temperament. This category is about that.

What if you have a playful dog that has a high level of energy? How about a dog that turns your house upside-down when you are not present? Then a couple of good pet unisex names would be Frisky and Happy.

Does your dog belong to an ancient breed such as the Lhasa Apso or the Japanese Chin? Such breeds were known to be domesticated in monasteries and enjoyed great prestige. So, if that is the case, you can name your dog Guru. It’s great for a zen dog, too.

Food-Inspired Unisex Dog Names

The first one is Biscuit, isn’t that cute? You can give it to small playful dogs that are energetic. Also, similar to that, we have Brownie. It works excellently as an adorable name for dogs that have chocolate brown coats. Be it small or big, the name is a sure bet and everybody loves a good brownie.

And what do you think about Peanut? This can be one alternative for your little puppy with smaller features. While Coco, which stands for Coconut, is the perfect option for dogs that have a rounded shape head and a mischievous personality. Think of Boston Terriers and French Bulldogs!

Do you have a really affectionate pet that suffers when you are not around? And does he/she enjoy being with you all the time? Then, Chewy is the one for it. It’s also the name of the biggest online pet supplies retailer (Chewy.com).

And the last choice we are going to give you is Dumpling. A perfect gender-neutral dog name for your lovely small puppy! Especially if it has some beige or yellow hues in its coat. It’s a great Labrador name!
