Names For Short-haired Dogs

Classic dog names like Toby, Bobby, Luna or Dama are now too overused. That’s why we’ve compiled a list with some new names for short-haired dogs. You will find dozens of them, original and beautiful, so you can call your little dog whatever you like.

The most original names for short-haired dogs

Some families don’t mind giving their dog a common name – they’re easy to remember and it’s not hard to find a cute one. However, dog parks are full of dogs called Luna or Lola and dogs that respond to Toby’s name.

Since your dogs are unique, their names should also be original and new. Your dog will not get confused when you call him, even if in a park there are many dogs playing and running together. It is worth making an effort to try not to fall into the temptation to choose alternatives that have already been seen and banal. If you have a short-haired dog, don’t miss these beautiful names : surely in this list you will find the one that’s right for you!

Names inspired by artists

If your dog has an intelligent expression or proves to be particularly alert and alert, a name inherited from a great artist can be a great choice. Unfortunately, history has left us few female artists, but since most of these names for short-haired dogs are surnames, they are valid for both males and females.

Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and Verdi were great classical music composers. On the other hand, Goya , Monet and Dalí were the best painters of their time. Frida is the only proper name on this list, and she was also a great painter of the past.

Names of trees

Natural element names are always a good option. During the first few days you may perhaps notice that it is inappropriate, but you will soon see how the chosen name will fit perfectly and will become a unique, original and beautiful way to call your four-legged friend.

Among the trees there are some names for short-haired dogs that seem to be made especially for males : Laurel , Chestnut , Ebony , Pine , Olive , Poplar , Willow or the exotic  Bamboo . You could also use them based on the color of the fur, such as  Cocoa , Tangerine or Hazelnut. If you have a female, how about  Mimosa ?

Also for females you can use flower names, such as Rosa , Margherita , Viola , Silene, Primula , Ortensia , Freesia or Cornflower  (just like the famous singer of “I don’t want the moon”).

Names of other animals

Small dogs often feel good about other pet names. As in the case of trees, even if at first it seems strange to put these names on short-haired dogs, in a few days they will stop having their primal meaning and your dog will have acquired a completely unique name.

Some ideas for male names could be Pluto , Flipper  (like the famous dolphin), Dumbo  (if your dog has particularly big ears) or  Pato (like the former AC Milan player). Even  Wolf can go well, if your short-haired dog is of large size and even the appearance of his famous wild ancestor.

For females, remaining in the nature, it is worth mentioning some names dedicated to periods of the day and seasons, such as:  Alba ,  Aurora ,  Flora , Azzurra , Stella, Luce or even Perla .

Cities and places

Geography also offers several name ideas for your short-haired dog. Cities or towns have no gender and, therefore, are names that could be valid for both males and females. Let’s see some examples:

Paris (which would be Paris), Tokyo (short and very nice), Isla , Asia (like the famous daughter of Dario Argento). Then again Oceania , Everest or even the American Arizona and  Dakota. If you have a great patriotic feeling, you can even use Italia.

As you have seen, there are many possibilities for short-haired dog names that you can choose from. However, these are ideas that we hope you will need to work out other alternatives as well. Remember that the name for your dog must be  short and easy to pronounce, so that it can convert into a “command”, a very quick and effective calling order.
