One of the most loved dog breeds by all is the German shepherd. So much appreciation is not surprising, because they are intelligent, friendly dogs that adapt well to any situation. That is why they can perform various functions from herding to the police dog, going through guide dogs. And just for company, your German Shepherd will soon become your best friend.
If you are thinking of hosting a pet of this breed, you will have to choose a very special name. That is why we have created a dictionary of names for dogs where you will find original, funny or traditional nicknames for all kinds of dogs. We have 8 names for your German Shepherd.
Perfect name ideas for your German Shepherd
Rex
In the case of a German shepherd, the name of the most famous police dog on television could not be missing. Your puppy will surely be delighted with this simple, forceful and easy-to-remember name. It is ideal for the bravest dogs that are always ready to participate in a canine adventure. Do these adventures include mischief? For sure yes!
Although now you find very cloying names, surely when you become attached to your pet you will start using diminutives such as Rexy or Raito. Will your dog like these new nicknames?
Mine
Although it is also a personal name, we like Mya for your German Shepherd puppy because it is well remembered and also highlights the affectionate and friendly side of your new pet. If she has a good face and you can’t help but kiss her every time you see her, this name is perfect for her.
Mine is a short and direct name that your dog will not have much trouble learning, unless you use (or plan to use) this word to give it a command. In this case, it is better that you choose another name, since it will associate Mia with an action (that you take the ball from him, that he should not bite something because it is yours, etc.) and not with his own name.
Thor
The Nordic god of thunder is a common name for German shepherd dogs as it highlights the power of this breed. Therefore, this is an ideal name for your pup to take control of the park. Without a doubt, it is a very suitable name for a German shepherd with a lot of character. Is your dog very brave? Does he always aim to save the world? You have found the right name!
Dogs of this breed are usually characterized by their strength and physical power, but if your dog also has a very firm and solid personality, this name will suit him like a glove.
Arya
Like the girl protagonist of ‘Game of Thrones’, your German shepherd dog will be the shrewdest in the neighborhood, capable of resolving any conflictive situation and returning victorious and with a look of triumph. This beautiful name will make your dog the most special one in the park, because there won’t be many more with the same name.
This name is intended for the true fans of the series because if you only see the series as one more entertainment, you may end up getting tired of the name when it is too late. Remember that it is not advisable to change the name of the dog once it has already been learned.
Boss
Your German Shepherd dog has a good chance of becoming the boss because of his intelligence, his instinct for organization and his balanced character. Empathy is also one of the most important qualities of leaders and we are sure that your German Shepherd will have plenty of empathy. Or is he not able to recognize when you’ve had a bad day to sit on your lap?
Boss is also one of those short names that are so easy to remember, so it won’t take any effort for your dog to learn it. And I’m sure you don’t either!
Gala
I’m sure Dalí’s muse would love to have your German Shepherd dog named after her. We like it because it is an original name that provides an artistic and different touch. According to experts, the letters A and O are the vowels that dogs understand best, so this name will seem very simple to you. But, in addition, with this name it will become elegance and the knowledge of being turned into a dog.
Still don’t know what to call your pet? Well, look at her face and decide if she has the face to be called Gala.
Fox
A German Shepherd Dog needs a short, non-shrill name for its personality. He works quickly and efficiently, so what he wants is a name that doesn’t distract him from the goal. Therefore, Fox is a perfect name for your favorite pet. No one will be able to resist his charms!
It is true that it is somewhat ironic that a dog is called Fox because, translated from English, this word is used to refer to foxes. But, names with a touch of irony and fun are much more convenient than any other dog nickname, right?
Phaedra
Although it is the name of the protagonist of a Greek tragedy, we like Phaedra for your German shepherd dog because it sounds intense and distinguished, just as your puppy will behave many times. It is a very original option, so it is unlikely that you will find other dogs with the same name. This is important to avoid problems at the park, when he could go with another owner who calls his dog the same name as yours.
