Since part of my family comes from England, more than a few of us were given british names. My own given name comes from Northern England. Considering British names are common in my family, it shouldn’t surprise you that I love British dog names. Which is why I decided to create a list of British dog names. But not every British name is going to work for your dog.
Believe it or not what you name your dog will have an impact on how easy it is to train them. If you give your dog an one syllable name like Bo, it can be mistaken for the word no. This can be really confusing for your dog as you try to train them.
The same thing goes if you give them a long name. I love the name Aloysius, which is from the British novel The Brideshead Revisited. But Aloysius has 4 syllables. By the time you finish calling your dog by name they will be long gone.
Also think about what it will be like when you need to say that name over, and over again. Are you still going to like it after you said it 1,000 times?
To create my list of 550 British dog names, I looked for names that were British or at least sounded British and were easy to say quickly. As I discover new Britsh dog names I will add them to the list so check back when ever you need some ideas for British dog names.
