Top Names For Dobermans

July 20th, 2008 Posted in Doberman Assorted

Doberman Pinscher Names

Are you looking for suggestions of dog names for your new doberman? Or do you want to change an older dog’s name to something different?

This list of doberman names should help you out.  These names for doberman pinschers have been selected for their popularity, originality and  for representing the qualities we love in our fine breed.  The doberman dog looks noble, elegant, athletic, regal and powerful, and as such deserves a name to match.

Some of these are famous dobermans and some are just really good doberman puppy names. Whatever name you pick, just please whatever you do, don’t give your dog a “people” name; no George or Mandy, etc. It’s a personal pet peeve of mine when people give their dogs “people” names. Dogs are special animals and therefore deserve special names. Dobermans even more so, they deserve a majestic, strong, royal dog name, so here are some favorites.

Also keep in mind when choosing a name that it’s a good idea to pick a name that has 2 or 3 syllables. This makes it easier for the dog to clearly understand and learn their new name. Also don’t choose a name that sounds like a common obedience command. This may be confusing to the dog. For example if you name him Spitz , he may hear SIT.

If you want to change your dog’s name (which you can do at any age), start off my combining the old name with the new name. So for example if you picked up a doberman at a rescue and it had the God-awful name Fido and you wanted to change it to Conan, here’s how you go about it. Start calling your dog Fido-Conan, both names said together. In time your dog will associate the new name (Conan) as his and you can then just drop the old name (the awful Fido gone).

Do you think your dog has a great name? Tell us what it is and why you picked the name.  Just add it in the comment section below.

    We have a 2 year old red doberman. His name is Cyd, but we make up odd nicknames for him. Cyddy, Sasha, NuNu, or we just call him Doberman among other strange names. He responds to them all :)


  21. Lee Says:

    I think that named a Doberman some manly name is kinda silly. Look everyone at my Doberman “Rambo” he is a prime example of a stereotypical name for a guard dog breed. My female red dobies name is Ginger *she is red, and those of you that have lived in Hawaii will know that there is red ginger. I think that you can scare people that are already scared by the breed, by giving some *Rambo* name. Just my two cents worth


  22. Kaitlyn Says:

    I think it’s very fitting for petite Dobes.

    Our Red/tan guy is has the ultimate alpha-dog macho sleek and sexy name… Willis!


  46. Adam Says:

    Since I love classic rock, I named him Clapton.


  47. Lani Lovin Says:

    Though I’ve named all my kids after reindeer, the best male Doberman name I’ve ever heard is Norman.
    But all of mine each have answered to about six different names. Bunny, pumpkin, stupid (only when acting that way), beezer, peanut…the list goes on and on. But my two right now both answer to snuggle-head.


  48. Antoinette Says:

    Our first one was Rusty – not very original then we named the current one Snoopy. People love it when they meet him as hes huge and when they ask what his name is and I tell them Snoopy they have a little chuckle about it. I love the name though and think its very typical of Dobes with their human traits and funny ways about them.


  49. LoveMyDobe Says:

    My red girl is named Reba after the county singer. My fawn boy was Gus(short for a good ole german name Gustaf) My black kids were Tia Maria(my favorite coffee liqour), Brutus Beefcakes(aka Brutus) and their son Satan, which didn’t even come close to his personality, so we called him Big, he was 114 lbs of wuss. Helped my friend name her fawn rescue girl Isie (was Sadie). Don’t know about my next ones, hopefully Reba lives a lot more longer, she is almost 12 now!!!!!

One of my other sons took a rust male and is naming him Pumba. We are keeping one black and rust male and we are trying to decide on his name now. We call him Survivor because he’s always getting into scrapes and wandering away from his mom. A friend just picked out a red male and she named him Titan.

I didn’t realize how perfectly that name fit him, showing me he was a fighter, until I almost lost him due to internal bleeding after I got him neutured because he had VWD and we didn’t know it even though I had all his blood work done before his surgery. I strongly recommend everyone having the VWD test before breeding or any type of surgery for there doberman.

  116. Tearldunlap Says:

    I am on then fence about a name for my male black and rust dobie. He hasn’t been born yet but it’s driving me nuts! What do you guys think…

    Originally wanted 2 males
    Shredder
    Spike
    Or 1 male 1femal
    Al
    Qaeda( fem)
    I figure two pups would be terrorizing my house. If the shoe fits wear it!

    New names,
    Atlas
    Crixus
    Dionysus. (DIO)
    Briggs

    I am really leaning towards Dio or shredder.


  117. Naomi Says:

    Our beautiful red Doberman was named Scarlet, so fitting for her elegance.
    She also responded to Snuggles, Snug Bug and Snugs.
    I miss her so much. She passed away in September of 2010 of primary lung cancer at the age of nine.

    Her father’s name was Cruise (black), her mother’s name was Control (red).


  118. Victoria Says:

    We have a one year old, red dobie and his name is Jax, Jaxson, Jaxamillion, Jaxie-pad, etc. But really it is just Jax, after Jacks, from mine and my husband’s favorite TV show, Sons of Anarchy.
