Doberman Pinscher Names
Are you looking for good dog names for your new Doberman? Or do you want to change an older rescue dog’s name to something different?
I’ve collected this list of favorite Doberman names over the years. These names have been selected for their popularity, originality, or for representing the qualities we love in our breed. The Doberman dog looks tough, noble, elegant, athletic, and powerful, and as such deserves a good name to match. Some of these are famous Dobermans names or Doberman names from movies. And some are just unique or fun Doberman names for your puppy.
Whatever you do, please try not to 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. They deserve a majestic, strong, or interesting Doberman name. I’m sure you’ll find a name here you like.
What makes a good name for Dobermans?
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 by combining the old name with the new name. For example, if you picked up a Doberman at a dog rescue and it had the name Fido that you wanted to change 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 boring Fido gone).
Lastly don’t forget to get a Dog Id Tag with your cell phone number. If your dog gets lost or runs away, this will help you get your dog back sooner. These dog tags are silent if you don’t want to hear them. And for extra protection or fun why not get a Saint Benedict Protection Dog Tag

Had a Doberman for 15 yrs named Bruno. He also responded to boo boo, bubba, and baby.
I had a Min Pin called Ollie. I now have a girl Min Pin called Scarlett and her litter mate was. Bibi.
We had a King Dobe, his name was Sir!
Had a red female and named her Roxie. Getting a male puppy in a few days and have decided to call him Otis.
My handsome Red was Kaiser Von Birgehof (Emperor of Mountaindale-His breeder lived in a town called Mountaindale) I lost Kaiser to a horrible gastric torsion episode 40 years ago. I have never owned another dog since. It broke my heart and hurt me so much-I would only ever own a Doberman. But after that happened to Kaiser, I just couldn’t.
you should try to give another one a chance. as you know they really are amazing and extremely intelligent one in a million kind of k-9. allowing your heart to Falling love all over again is what your last one would want in memory of him. just a thought
Sorry, that happened to Kaiser. I like his name.
My blk./tan dobie was Axel [von Lichtenstein], named after one of two German Shephards in my pre-Dobie life. He would twirl in mid-air at the end of his leash, after lunging at someone ignorant enough to tease him in passing. The guy didn’t know how lucky he was, that I caught Axel. He later had to be put down, due to a brain tumor. [The 2. was my boss’ Rolf. Every a. m. I got to walk him 1 1/2 -2 hrs., while running errands–so much fun and still get paid! 🙂
My Dobermann name is Zoe
Okay I have a suggestion. Here are some: Sabrina, Persaya, Cassidy, Dawn, Dawnrae, Ash, Asha, Raineer, Pepper, Vanilla, Mint, Mochi, Boba, Lexi, Lulu, Miley, Bayla, and Yuni. I hope you like any one of those names.
I have a male Dobbie named Gary I got the name from sponge bob square pants .sponge bob had a pet snail named Gary and thought it was so cute.
Hello!!! You left out Harvey!
I had dobes growing up- in my married life my husband said NO to a dobe bc “it would eat the children”. Long story short got divorced and got a dob. My daughter was 5 at the time and came up w the name Red Cheese. Red bc he was a red dobe. And “we all LOVE cheese”! To her it was a no brainer! 😏
Love it when kids name puppies, they are the best!!! I’m getting a red female in about four weeks and can’t wait, I am going to name her Ruby
I bought a red male Doberman we named him “Bo” just spelled it as Bowe his middle name is Allen to make his name as interesting as he is. I couldn’t stop thinking his sister she is fawn and absolutely gorgeous so I went the very next day and bought London Kate her name suites her because she is so elegant. I’m certain she deserves to wear a pearl collar 😉
My Doberman had a unique name. She was Princess Fluffy! I thought it would be funny to have someone over and call out “Here Fluffy” and they would expect a little white fluffy dog, but instead it would by my Elegant Black/Tan female dobie running like a Gazelle. She was absolutely the best dog ever. Not a mean bone in her body, but I do know she was my protector. She died when she was 10yrs old 3yrs ago. We just added a new dobie pup to our home this week. We are very undecided on her name. She is red. Any suggestions?
I think Ruby is a great names for a red female,
Ruby is a beautiful name for your Doberman . My Red Doberman-(male)-his name is Rossi.🐾 A true sweetheart.
3 years old & his weight is 85 pounds 💕🐾
I adopted a black 3 legged male named Duke in my early 20’s. Later after getting married, my husband bought me a black/rust 8 wk old female pup that I named (AKC) Prince’s Foxy Lady Eva (Eva). She died at 12, and I was heartbroken. Found a 6 month old holdover that was never picked up from the breeder, named her Gracie…a gorgeous chocolate color. Lung cancer at 6 yrs old. Next was a black/rust female again (King Solomon’s Dixie Trixie), and after 11 yrs, another (now Casino Hill’s Queen of Mischief). Mischief (it fits her SO WELL!!) is now 4 yrs old, and my mobility service dog (I fall a lot). Blessings, hope you pick the PERFECT name!
Named our red female Petra Red Rose
As an alternate to Ruby, you may also want to consider Garnet [Jan. birthstone] for your red dobie.
Adobe
I had a dobbie named Miley. She was a sweetheart. I loved to my heart. I want her back. She died when she was 10yrs old. It’s been a few months. Now we have have a min-pin. Black/rust color. We named her Pokey. You do not want her around a cat. She will attack a cat or anything smaller then her or the size of her. Miley was so gentle, friendly, and loved kids. She was a great protector! Now that she’s gone, it doesn’t feel right at all.😭😣. I can just see her right now in Pokey’s eyes. Pokey on the other hand, she is friendly too. She loves to play ball. She jumps like a deer. She has never been around snow in till Christmas. She loves the snow not but she get really cold becayse she is part chuwawa. I love her to my heart. AKA: Cross my heart, hope not to die!😂
we had females named spice and storm
Okay I have a suggestion. Here are some: Sabrina, Persaya, Cassidy, Dawn, Dawnrae, Ash, Asha, Raineer, Pepper, Vanilla, Mint, Mochi, Boba, Lexi, Lulu, Miley, Bayla, and Yuni. I hope you like any one of those names.
If she is elegant call her Tiffany
I had two Dobermans named Apollo and Hera. Hera was a blue and rust coloured and Apollo was black and rust. They were truly the sweetest dogs you could ask for.
I had Bella a beautiful female who passed when she was 6 yrs old of DCM very sad. I have a 2 yr old black and rust, her name is Lagertha.
All my kids (except for Gretchen my first one ) have been named after reindeer . Rudolph the Red, black Rudolph , Dancer, Dasher, Comet, Blitzen. Now I’m stuck with a beagle we named Sherman ! Miss my Doberdears with the toy antlers they wore for Christmas photos .
We had a European Dobie that died suddenly of DCM when she was only 5 yrs. and 3 months on July 6, 2022. We were devastated. Still are.
Her Name was Santana Maria.
My goodness is named Venus. I had a min pin named Poochi (mighty Poochianna) one day when both dogs where running around, I went to call them and screamed PENIS really loud. … (pooch and Venus mixed together) Yeah… true story! LOL
I lost my Doberman years ago to cancer and her name was Staffords Amber Delight, Amber for short. As you all well know, she was a true blessing to us and everybody who came to see us. I’m currently seeking another love and it’s quite difficult. I’m torn between getting a female or male. However, if I get a female, her name will be Ember Delight. Ember for short and a tribute to Amber.
My 5 year old male is named Titus. It is the first book in the Bible that I preached on. Titus was like a son to Paul so it is with my Dobbie.
My Dobie is called bane initially he was going to be called tiny( yes in a humorous way he is German kc black and rust ) but decided on bane because it’s a very dark and very mean name which I LOVED because Doberman’s are soooooo evil (NOT) 🤣😍
I have just recently rehomed another Doberman , a bitch this time she is very frail and doesn’t even know ANY commands which to me is so tragic considering how intelligent Doberman’s are ! What a waste however the point is she is currently called Skye which tbh I can’t stand as she is NOT blue and she is NOT from paw patrol but I am struggling terribly on a new name !
How about Cleo short for Cleopatra–one of the coolest, smartest, most courageous queens in history? Not only did she survive murder attempts by her brother and his thugs, she was Greek but yet still became Queen of Egypt one of the richest countries of her time. She also had Caesar and his greatest warrior Marc Anthony, Rome’s bigshots eating out of her hand and managed to frustrate the hell out of that wimp Octavian and made him look like a fool as well. A brave and beautiful name for a brave and beautiful bitch.
Did anyone come here because you were searching up Survivor dogs names? or is it just me . . . . #SaveSurvivors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t want it to end :'(
What does that even mean? Are you saying a rescued dog should be given a name to indicate that he/she has survived? I guess I’m stupid but I don’t understand. Can you give an example of a “survivor dog name?”
I think they might be referring to the book series Survivors (all canine characters) by Erin Hunter.
Me to..
I have a red Doberman named Aka…which means red in Japanese.
I get my new puppy in two weeks & can’t decide on a name for him …. choices are
Jagger
Alfie
Rommel
Frankie
Deiter
I think Jagger is winning …. I’d like your votes please ?
Jagger is great.
I like Jagger too. Frankie is pretty cute as well.
Jagger
I’m might get a Doberman pup and don’t know what to name him can u tell me which name should I pick
Jagger
Tyson
Bruiser
Ace
Which one would be good for him
Actually, I kind of like Bruiser AND Bruno!
Love Jagger! It was an option for our black and rust male Doberman but we named him Onyx because of the spiritual meaning of Black Onyx…a powerful protection stone that absorbs and transforms negative energy and helps prevent the drain of personal energy. It is said to aid in the development of emotional and physical strength and stamina, especially when needed during times of stress or grief. Not sure if a stone can do that but perfect name for our Dober.
He’s our first Doberman and we truly adore him. He is such a smiley goof ball and always makes us laugh. He helped heal the pain of loosing our Golden to cancer and is transforming negative attitudes and fears towards Dobies with everyone he meets. Now we need a name for our female black and rust puppy.
i have a male black and tan named Little Shot Of Whiskey River. Whiskey for short. When we got him he just seemed to take all my cares and worries away just like that song whiskey river. And at other times i would come home and feel like i needed a shot of whiskey just to face the mess hes made that day. Then about two years later we got our female red named Foxtrot the Rakish Rogue. Foxtrot or Foxy for short. I wanted to get 3 dobes and keep the theme of whiskey tango foxtrot (WTF). Seems appropriate sometimes when owning dobes….WTF! The Rakish comes from her cropped ears. One droops a little giving her a very rakish or debonair look. The Rogue comes from her rebellious, outlaw personality. I love my dobes so much! the most peculiar breed ever.
Cool names all, Chance. I heartily agree with you in the “WTF” Department. Fang, my beautiful, sweet 5 year old black and tan boy is my first Doberman. I’d always had large breed male dogs–either German Shepherds or German Shepherd/Yellow Lab half breeds. I’d lost my last 2 boys within a year and a half of each other and was so broken hearted I swore I’d never get another. Then my vet convinced me to try again with a Doberman. Honestly, I have never known a more fascinating or a more frustrating animal. He is so different from any other dog I’ve ever known it’s almost like he’s a different species. I am completely in love with him but he also drives me insane. I told my vet “thanks for setting me up with such a weirdo dog” and he laughed and said Dobermans just have strong “personalities” which is why he thought a Doberman would be a perfect match for me. Uh Huh. I take him with me everywhere I go so he’s more like an appendage than a companion and I don’t know how I could live without him, however, first time Doberman owners should be prepared for some serious high maintenance, extremely oddball behavior and completely different training methods. Fang is a truly fabulous doggie, but WTF???? He is certainly a handful.
Ive got a 15 month old Serbian Dobberman. Like yourself I take him everywhere I go. He’s like my shadow and when I open a draw or a cupboard his nose goes straight in. What a character, I love him to bits he really makes me laugh. He throws the ball at me when he wants to play and if I don’t play he goes off looking for trouble. When he finds something that he knows will get my attention he will bring it to show me what he’s found then run off with it. He’s crackers, he sits on my knee with his head on my shoulder snoring down my ear. He’s certainly very affectionate and can’t get close enough. I love him that much I am going to collect a bitch end of the month. Dobermans, who would have 1?
I’ve never seen a sib.Doby before. Love to see a picture of him.
Me too! I’m on my first Doberman, a black & tan male who just turned 6 years old April 15 and I am still all fascinated by what an all out charming weirdo he is. All my previous dogs were German Shepherds, fabulous dogs every one, and I considered myself an experienced large breed tough dog owner. I would’ve never considered getting a Doberman if my vet hadn’t convinced me it would be the perfect dog for me, and he was right. But honestly, what a nutty, sweet, pain in the ass dog! He’s like a different species of animal altogether. I am curious as can be–what the heck is a Siberian Doberman?
Never heard of that type. I’m going to be a first time mommy to a beautiful black boy. I’ve always wanted one but never had a chance. They are not a breed that is found in my state. Im so excited i can barely contain myself
we just rescued a baby girl (black and tan), her name was nova but quiescently we have a 5 year old( black and tan) and her name is also nova, looking for a different unique name for her!! I like Kona which means lady in Hawaiian, but the rest of the family doesnt lol 🙁
When I rescued my Black and Tan female, her given name was Luna but I quickly changed that to Nirvana since Luna is so popular.
I always pick a name that fits the pup. My current black female’s name is (Casino Hill’s Queen of) Mischief…fits her PERFECTLY!! She’s 4 yrs old, is my trained (ongoing, for 3 yrs now…my example dog, as I help train them for vets) service dog, but is constantly into everything…only at home w/o her vest on. Out in public, she’s a well-behaved lady!!
We named ours Roscoe and Dina. Roscoe was the name of the Doberman on Oliver and company.
I’ve had Doberman ‘s since 1975, so loyal , lost my last one a year ago and my Jasmine two years ago, love the name Nakia was one of my males, something different would be “dee o gee ” short for dog. R Ruby for a girl
My brown male Dobie’s name is Bond. He looks, walks and acts just like a real 007:) Smart, handsome and ferocious. And a real heart breaker. Im getting another male in october and I can not decide between Lars, Thor, Ozzy, Blaze and Carlos. 🙂
I always like leaning towards German names and paying tribute to their lineage as well. We named our Black male Ziegen. Ziegen means “goat” in German. Dobermans are very strong, sometimes hardheaded (like a goat) dogs, so I found it appropriate. Ziegenbock (actually my fav beer) also has a goat/ram on the [black and tan] label of their bottle and one of the females on his maternal line was named Shiner Bock and the breeder had names all her studs with Z names, so his formal name was Ziegen Bock and it worked out perfect all around.
My dad named his black male Zebulon (from the same breeder as Ziegen), Zeb for short. Zebulon Brockway is the father of the American prison system and Dobermans have been used as guard/prison/police dogs.
Also Rosten for a red male (Rosten means “red” in German).
Like the name Zeppelin for a black female (or male). Led Zeppelin actually had a song called Black Dog and “Led Zeppelin” actually refers to the Hindenburg, which was the infamous German airship that went down like a lead balloon when it caught fire.
Raymond (German name for protector of the home). If you had a red male he could be named Raymond Reddington ;0)
Varick (German name for Protecting ruler)
Jager (which is NOT my fav liquor) is a German name that means Hunter, which seem appropriate, considering Dobermans’ high prey drive. Also Jagermeifter is BLACK liquorish flavored German liquor.
…sorry for the long post.
my dogs name is jäger 😂
We are on Doberman #8 and only two names appear on your list ..Fifi and Zoe
Missing:
Males –Rylee (current puppy) and Bruiser
Females – Bismark, Dolly, Boswell and Lily
Black and chestnut male Doberman born this past October. Named him “Rommel” after The Desert Fox, General Field Marshal Johannes Erwin Eugen ROMMEL.
my doberman is a female and we just named her Suzy ’cause
my dad just named her. . . .
My brown/rust Doberman bitch is called ROMA.
Brown/rust Doberman bitch called ROMA
Our black and tan Dobi is a male and his name is Ramses, Ramie in affection.
In naming all my past Dobermans in my resent comment I just posted added, I failed to mention my 2 current rescues that didn’t get their names mentioned. We received them with their names, and I don’t believe in changing a rescues name unless 1 you don’t know their name, or 2 the name is inappropriate, disrespectful, or not even a name. Our 2 current rescues are:
Xena: black/tan female cropped
Mannie: black tan male natural
Thanks for rescuing!
I have had Dobermans my whole life as well as my wife who also had Dobermans her whole life. From my experience dogs in general seam to respond better and adapt more quicker to, two syllable names. They stand out more to the Dobermans receptors. My number one Doberman that stands above the rest was named,
Hymmie: pronounced (Hi-Me) 2004-2012
black/tan male
Some of my other babies:
Debo: Dee-Bo black/tan male
Dutches: red/tan female
Diablo: black/tan male
JuJu: (Jew-Jew) red/tan female
I don’t mind other people using these names if they are looking for a good name for their baby. My pups would have be flattered to have other Dobermans named after them. They truly are the best breed/ creatures on earth. I will never reuse any of my dear dobermans name for any future dobermans because to me there will always only be one Hymmie, JuJu etc. God Bless all the Doberman owners out there, please just love, spoil, and cherish them every second of every day, don’t ever take your time with them for granted.
We have had dobies for almost 40 years. Love the breed, wish they were healthier. #1 Baron von Roscoe, called Rock, #2 Jake, #3 Leroy, #4 Claymore, called Clay #5 Gunnar, called Gunny #6 Maximus, called Max. It’s been 2 yeard since Max crossed the bridge and discovered we just can’t go without. We are patiently awaiting the birth of our next love. We have really enjoyed all these comments!
Three names I’ve not seen listed anywhere:
1. Jor-El: Father of Kal-El, aka., Superman.
2. Hannibal: The great General that challenged Rome circa 220 B.C. This guy used War Elephants to fight. He was feared by Rome.
3. Rommel: The great German WW2 General known as the “Desert Fox.” He was admired by both friend and foe alike.
I am glad you enjoyed the story of how Fang got his name, Jaki. No doubt just a weird and sort of cool coincidence, but it really happened like that. I didn’t mean to imply that Fang, my sweet, crybaby Mama’s boy has any sort of mystical powers although I realize it might come across that way. I sure hope he doesn’t since he’s so willful that he gives pushy, overbearing dogs a bad name, which apparently, is a common Doberman trait. But totally recalcitrant notwithstanding, you couldn’t find a sweeter, friendlier dog. Shiny as a new penny and gorgeous to boot.
So, no comments on the name “Fang?” I love it, but it is nothing like a name I’d be likely to choose. My previous 2 dogs (both massive German Shepherds–Fang is my first Doberman)) were named “Eddie” and “Baby.”
I’d lost my dog in a tragic way and my heart was so crushed I said I’d never get another. Several months later, my vet called and said another of his clients owned two female Dobermans, sisters & litter mates, one red and one black, and one male (unrelated). He said all 3 were superb dogs and that he was familiar with several puppies from previous litters and that all were healthy, intelligent, good tempered, obedient and really good looking dogs. Both the females were pregnant by the same male and the owner was very picky about to whom he sold his puppies but the vet had called the owner and spoken so highly of me that the owner would grant me first look at the puppies due to be born in a few weeks. That night I had a dream that I already got the puppy who was able to talk. The dream puppy told me his name was “Fang” and that he would be my dog. I asked Fang how I would recognize him and he told me not to worry, he’d let me know. The two sisters bore their respective litters 3 days apart and had 19 puppies between them. I’d told he owner I wanted a male. He allowed me to come over to choose my puppy at three weeks and proceeded to place a box containing 10 adorable puppies of each color in my lap. How could I choose? Then a little black and red guy clawed his way out of the box to my lap and promptly curled up for a nap. I said “I guess this is my dog.” Fang is 4 years old now and I adore him, and love his name, but didn’t really choose it. Great name, though
What a great story 🙂
It’s always better if they pick you. God Bless you and your baby. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Sheila. Fang is over 6 years old now. He is the most spoiled dog on the planet and irritates the hell out of me every day, but we are so tight it’s like we have ESP. And, despite his fearsome name, he is absolutely the sweetest dog I’ve ever known and during his lifetime he has done a great deal to disprove the idea that Dobermans are scary, dangerous dogs.
My Dobermans name was PANZOR. Panzer tank zor. PANZOR. let me know you name your dog.
What about the name Dobie, I think it could be a good name for Doberman Pinschers.
My Dobermans name is Dobie. He’s from Serbia and his temperament is superb. He’s brown and everyone thinks he looks like Scoobi Doo. He certainly acts like Scoobi Doo thats for sure..
Our male rescue dobe’s name is Aidan. He rewards us everyday with his love, quirkiness and protection. PS – I love this site. So informative. Thank you.
We just lost our handsome boy Hudson yesterday. He was a 9 1/2 year old Red Dobie. The best dog ever. Sweetest soul, loyal, protective most loving dog. I can’t stop crying, my heart is broken.
I’m soo sorry Holly. I hope this quote helps you.
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
― Dr. Seuss
The mixed doberman and Pitt bull should called a ” bulldober”we have one..her namen is daisy may..she is wonderful and everyone loves bulldober
I have a pitdobie too getting a blue female dobe later this month contemplating on the name Raven (ttg) but still looking. Pitdobie is 6 her names Deja (Dejanique) and i have a pitbull as well Theo (Theodore)
Our male Black and Tan his name is Achilles (Greek Lore) Tiberius (Captain Kirk) mouthful to tell people thank goodness he goes by Achilles. I’ve never ran into another one Doberman or other dog with that name. Getting a female and will probably name her Athena following the Lore and goddesses hope it suits her.
There are some excellent names in these comments; thank you all for sharing! We named our female red Doberman, Freyja, following my family’s tradition of naming our Dobermans after Norse gods, goddesses and heros/heroines. I grew up with a succession of Dobermans as trusted companions (and comic relief) and Freyja is my first female Doberman.
Our black and tan big guy . . . OZ. The Great and Powerful.
Our Black and Tan is a king Doberman and his name is Sabbath.
Just picked up my 10 week old Doberman Saturday
He is a Red, And we named him Wesson
Yes-after Smith&Wesson
I never thought that i would love my Male Doberman his my baby his name is Chagui
Duchess Domino von Fury.
Fifth Dobie
Rousey would make a GREAT female name!
My Dobermans name is Moose after her father. Her full name is Molly Moose. I am thinking of naming the second Nova
Our Dobie boys show names are
Razor sharp we call him “Razor” and we have his great nephew Deuces wild, we call him “Deuce” cause he’s our second Dobie. Both are the greatest animals we’ve ever owned. They sleep with our 10 yr old daughter every night, sweet and loving but mean Buisness if they sense any nonsense around the property.
My male black and tan dobies name was Denali, it means “The Great One” in Eskimo. They of course are talking about Mt. Mikinley, tallest mountain in North America. Sadly he is gone.
I’ve just rescued a young female and I’ve named her “Neishka”. My very first doberman was named the same that was in 1972 and I got her from the Orange County dog pound for $5.00. Best $5.00 I ever spent!
my four year old red girl is Gaia
we named our dobe Gotti, after John Gotti because around our house he’s a straight up boss!!
we named our done Gotti, after John Gotti because around our house he’s a straight up boss!!
I think a cool name for a black and tan Doberman would be Guinness, the best half of the ingredients in a black and tan (drink). :~)
I’m getting a red Doberman pinscher and we are going to name him Clifford
Hellboy Hector

We adopted about 18 mos ago from a shelter a beautiful but scared little Doberman girl named Mecca. We didn’t change her name. She has learned to trust us and she just melts our hearts with her affection.
MECCA! I love it.
Beautiful 🎁🙏🐾
I’m thinking of naming my male black and rust doberman one of the following:
1) Pablo
2) Alphonse
3) Mars
4) Bugsy
We named are Doberman ” Tora” it means attack in Japanese, she was the most gentle dog ever though.
We recently lost the most incredible beautiful girl at only 7 years old. Her name was Tess, but we often called her Tessie or Tessie-girl. We have a new female and her name is Ember (Emmy). I loved Lexi, but couldn’t convince my husband. I also like Cairo (Kairo, or Kyro – shortened to Kai). Love J names like Jade, Jayda and Jayla. Also Layla, Roxie, Jett, Zola, Tia, Tash, Jace, Mika, Vega, Sloane, Sophie and Devon. I like Jackpot and Blackjack (both shortened to jack or jax) It really depends on the dog’s personality. I was nervous when we got our first doberman, but she was so smart and loyal I can’t imagine life without one now.
Our Red Doberman was Obi 1 the Dobie, Obi for short. The force was definitely with him. He was awesome but died young of heart disease. (4 years)
Best..name……ever!
could i suggest a name?
Brudice
opus is mine
My husband and I have a 2 year old red male named Panzer, an 18 month old black female named Kora, we had an 8 year old fawn female named Neka, who we lost to complications from being abused and over bred by her previous owners and we’re getting another red male pup who we haven’t named yet. My husband likes Hans. I don’t.
We lost our 7 1/2 yr old red male in June due to DCM, his name was “Spirit”. He was such a goof ball with the grandkids, we always said we should have named him Scooby doo. In the end we realized “Spirit” was befitting of his kind heart. The only dog in my 50+ years that truly touched my soul. Miss my boy every day, my heart will NEVER be the same.
We had a lovely dobe called Sultan and he didn’t anyone or anything, not even baby birds that got inside our place. So I don’t think you can generalize about their aggressiveness. Now we have another 1 year old dobe called Pasha and he’s still very pup-like and so affectionate but like Sultan treats the world as his friends. But is so smart and love able.
my female doberman is named “HENNA”. But i also like Zvan(dog in Sanskrit.
I have had 5-6 dobermans my boys names were, Cyrus, we called him Cici, Lugar Von Brullen, Toby and my girls were Girda,sounds like gearda, but spelled Girda, Jinx aka Jinxy and Sasha. All registered AKA.
we recently lost our lovely Maddie Moo and are hopefully getting a new one soon , a bitch , not sure if liver and tan or black and tan , trying to convince hubby for fawn one or blue, need names , any ideas gratefully received , thanks , love this site by the way ,
Hi, i love this site. I am getting little black girl and need help naming her, her name have to start with H, so far we have:
Hansa
Heera
Harmony
H`Echo … found this one on her pedigree from 19..
Hershey
Hashtag
Hennessy – Hesssy
any help would be great, thanks 🙂
I named my new red dobie Gretchen….my other choice was fawn……black and rust girls were Lexi (short for Alexis and Chynah..I miss those babies so much….now hoping my two little male dogs (1 min pin and 1 Chihuahua like their new big sister….
How about Rousey?
First female doberman we named Phoebe, ,, Fibi,,
Second we will name in few days Roxie 🙂
I have a black and tan male dobie named as Oscar
My fiancé and I have a 1 1/2 year old black and tan female named Addison, Addie for short, that we rescued when she was 3 months old. She’s the first Dobe either of us have ever had and she is just the best. Super smart and loyal, she even learned to smile with her teeth showing by watching me. The first time she did it I thought she was baring teeth at me lol She is just the sweetest thing ever.
We are going to pick up a black and tan male pup this afternoon and we are super excited, but since we don’t know him we haven’t been able to pick a name.
A few ideas we were tossing around:
Jackson
Ramses
Wilson (for Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson)
Asher
Rune
Nova
Quasar
some names for male dobermans- buzo,bosco,fred,alex
Our first Dobbie was a blue and we named her Prussia. Our second was Black and she was a rehome who came with the name Keira.
I like Gatsby for a boy and layla for a girl..gonna get a puppy in may:) hubby does’t like Gatsby so we all like ottis and I would have middle name gatsby:)
We had a black & tan male, he was a big boy, we called him Hannibal, he was as gentle as a lamb and extremely loyal, we lost him in October this year, he was 12. We still have a red and tan female, Beth, she is sweet and loving and is 11. We are thinking about getting another male pup soon and will possibly call him Bob or Steve or Frank, not 100% sure of a name yet.
I always wanted to name one of my dobies Steve because I thought it would be hilarious to yell out Steve at a dog park or dog beach and see how many confused looks I would get. Bob is a good one too!
Hey, I was planing on getting me a dob,I liked the red and tan! so I thought I’d look at some names! I liked quite a few, but here are my fav so far tell me what u think!

I had a blue dobey named Vance. He was a wonderful dog.
My blue was named jasmine . My fawn was brutus

Miss you boy.
i brought two doberman yesterday male and female ..
for male i named him BIG (biggy)
and female, i named her LADY (happy)
I have a 5 year old female Doberman that I named Majesty.
I call her Madge.
My dobies name is Lucian. Got it from the movie Underworld.
I am thinking about getting a Doberman. I’ve never had one before but from all the “Awesome, Great, Cool” I’m getting from up there, I think they will be the PERFECT dog for me. I’m thinking about names… Hmm.
* Prince (Male)
* Zippy (Male)
* Boomer (Male)
* Sky (Female)
* Pepper (Female)
* Pixie (Female)
Let me know what you think! Any suggestions?
Make sure you do your research before getting a dobe. “Awesome, great and cool” are not enough to decide if a breed is a good fit for you. Dobermans are very smart, very hard headed dogs and they are not for everyone. I have seen far too many dobermans at rescues and shelters because people thought they were the perfect breed or thought they were awesome, great, cool or tough looking. Please don’t do this amazing breed a disservice by getting one for the wrong reasons.
I totally agree, and people especially need to remember that this breed needs LOTS of exercise, physical and mental.
I had a female Doberman named Reign. (I was going to spell it Rane, but ended up with her full AKC name being Sabbath’s princess Reigns). She was a great dog, I lost her a week ago and am still upset about it. I will be getting a new Dobe and am trying to think of a great name.
We have two male doberman. Iggy is our red doberman name. Diesel is our black.
We have a 2 year old black & tan dobie called Brian, who we named after Brian Johnson from AC/DC. We are also on our way to get a red female dobie, which we will probably name Dana, after the fictional character Dana Scully, from The X-Files.
Our dogs name is “trixy”
There is also another version that says:This is not just a dog-it’s a DOBERMAN.
We just adopted a new baby boy-black and tan. He already knew his name was Ozzie-so we had to keep it. But my boyfriend is insisting we spell it Ozzy- after the infamous Ozzy Osbourne- lead singer of Black (get it?) Sabbath who became more famous after biting the head off of a bat onstage. Our Ozzy bites anything and everything he can get his sharp little teeth into. We also have another black and tan rescue- the sweetest girl ever. She came with the name Rizzo- but it has evolved to Brizzie as Rizzo was too hard for her sweet nature. She is lovingly mothering Ozzy. Our old girl Kaitlyn, or as we fondly refer to as Kate, is 9 and still going strong- but not enjoying “sharing” her bed with the new “intruder”. We’ve also had Monty- who was Kate’s mother and Kate’s litter mates- Leon Redbone- a red male and Sadie. In the past he had Dollie and I had Chaz.
My favorite bumper sticker states- “This in not a dog- it’s a DOBERMAN”. Thank you for this site- what fun!
Our female Dobe is called Vesta, Vesta is the Roman Goddess of the Home. Diva might have been more appropriate !!!
i named my dog “REX”
Sheldyy… !! N he loves his name 😀 😛
Drago… My male dobe. It means dragon.
My 6 month old Dobes name is Herman.
Our old Dobe was red and rust and her name was Gretchen.
I have had Dobermans since 1978, love the breed. All have been females

4. Bridget. Black/tan
5. Ginger. Black/Tan

My handsome boy is called Zeus but we call him fat moose!
We named our puppy Black and Tan girl Shelby nick names shelbers shell shelb
Our Dobie’s name is Riza. I’m an artist, a riza is a metallic protective robe worn by saints. If you’ve ever seen a painting of a saint wearing a very ornate silver and gold metallic robe and headdress, that’s a riza. A protector of saints. (Not that we’re saints! LOL)
I had a male doberman all German breeding akc birth June need a name with a p could not find anything in any language I liked I mixed panzer tank which he was with zor. PANZOR

We just bought a black and rust female yesterday and we are 99.99% sure we’re going to name her Bella Monet. We have had dobermans in the past and they were Bella Amoré (f), Sienna (f), Casanova which we called Cassie for short (f), Brody (m), Saxton (m), Gianni (m). We tossed around quite a few names like Milan, Maya, Maui, Ava, and London. We like the name Bentley but it sounds like a better male name than a female name.
My male is named Rex Ruger about to get a chocolate color female thinking of the names rémy ,Hennessy, Godiva…. Not to sure yet tho
I had a beautiful brown boy i called Boris and he was such a sweetheart. Now I am having a black/tan male baby i am thinking of naming Klaus.

Our dobies’ names have always coordinated with our cats… The first pair was Kitty Bob and Dan the Doberman. The second was Don Guido (dobie) and Don Gotti (cat), and the current duo is Tater (dobie) and Tot (cat). We never plan for the cats and dogs to come around at the same time but it’s just always happened that way since we’ve had pets!

Then black and tan females, Brandi and Dakota and now a new pup, male, blk and tan will be Shaka or Loki. He’s proving to be a real mischief maker to my beautiful and docile black female german shepherd.
Any name will do, Dobies love their people at whatever name you call them.
My Dobies (both red) are Sofia Rose & Panzer Steven. We are in the process of adopting a black & tan pup whose name is currently Tillie. I am looking for a really special name for her. Any suggestions?
I am getting a 16 week old dobie on Saturday. She is absolutely adorable and we have decided to name her Georgia’s Grace but will call her Grace/Georgia/G/GG. Can’t wait to meet her!
Sparticus Gladiator 300
Our 10 year old male Dobe was named Duke! I had to put him to sleep yesterday – cancer! He was our best mate! Our previous Dobe was named Earle who also died of lymphoma at 5 years old! We miss you boys.
We have yet to pick up our pup but we loved the name Rommel. I am a military man and the great honorable German General sounded noble enough for a Dobie to bear his name.
Had a black male that passed away this past summer. Named him Baron after my fathers black male when he was a child. Love that name, afraid I cant use it on my next dog though, I was way to close to that dog to compare him to our new one.
We have 2 two red and tans, male and female.
The male is named Benson and is a rescue dog.
Our little girl is named Mariah, from the song “They call the wind Mariah”. My fiancee had a doberman named Windy when she was growing up.
My male Dobie’s name is TSULTAN! My other male Dobie’s name is Barron! And my female Dobie’s name is Baowolf!
I have chosen to name my future doberman Klaus. It is german for “Victory of the People”. His grand sire is Fador Del Nasi. So his registered name is going to be Klaus D Dieutz Fador Del Nasi
I have a blue Doberman and we’ve called him ‘Indie’
I’Ve had many Dobie’s and will never not have one….

Hunter
Remington
Zues

Kia
Alexis (Lexi Girl)
Taila
Tessa
I have a two dobe’s that are brothers. The one I’ve helped to raise is 97lbs and his name is Nebuchadnezzar, a strong name for a king dobe. While his bros weighs 70lbs his name is annubis, after egyptian mythology.
Just got my dobe puppy yesterday .
Calling him DILLINGER after John Dillinger the american gangster.
My dobe’s name is Major. But we call him May May.

Im picking up a dobie pup this weekend and really like the names Kimba and Diesel.
My Dobbys name is SULTAN and it goes well big him because he is king size nd it just goes well with him
My 1st was a red girl named Cherry and her litter-mate also a red girl Ruby. I am getting another red girl in 4 weeks and I am thinking Lucy, Dolly or Scarlett. I have time to decide.
DORIAN… after ‘Dorian Lord’ on One Life To Live. (dark, beautiful b*tch!) : )
We named mine Jamis. Abnormal but it fitted him. I had that name in my head just for my first dog 🙂
Tyr – i pronounce it *tear* as in crying, Tyr is the norse god of justice and a few other things lol
Lost my fawn dobie a year ago to cancer. She was almost 9 years old. Her name was Gidget…very fitting for her! I still miss her so much. I’ll soon be getting a red/tan baby girl. I’m thinking of names and I’ve come up with Panga, Jada or Zada. But who knows, I’ll have to see what fits her personality!
My dobies names are london & Ramsey !
my fav name has to be Tutti or magnum or lillia
We’ve had a few Dobes in my lifetime. Rambo, Ranger, and now Reed (he’s red, family name, Irish background) and Delta, black and rust. Yes, Rambo was around in the 80s. But fiercely protective of me as a kid, so it fit.
WE HAVE A NEW PAIR OF DOBERMANS. LITTERMATES- ONE BLUE NAMED CHURCH AND ONE BLACK NAMED VOODOO. WE LOVE THEIR NAMES BECAUSE THEY ARE SIMILAR YET BOTH VERY DIFFERENT. WE RESEARCHED BOTH AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS CLOSEST RELATED TO THE CONSIDERED ‘TABOO’ FORM OF VOODOO. BOTH USE PHYSICAL OBJECTS TO ENHANCE AND STRENGTHEN THEIR BELIEFS. I THINK IT’S FITTING. ALSO- IF VOODOO & CHURCH AREN’T YOUR STYLE–> WE ALSO HAD BACK-UP NAMES OF HAVOK & CHAOS (=
I don’t have any Dobies…yet. But I have their names picked out:
Male: Alfie (for “Alpha Male”)
Male: Dozer (short for “Bulldozer”)
Female: Sweet Pea
Female: Peanut
I would even put pink collars and leashes on the females. Just so comically opposite of their supposed fierce reputation.
what about Sparts one of my brothers had a dog named Sparta
Our beautiful black and tan Dobermann male is called Da Vinci. Such a fitting name as Da Vinci is well known to be the singulalry most talented person in history. Plus our Da Vinci is truly a masterpiece.
My females name is Ava
Top 3 Domerman names:
Male Names: Black and Tan: Midnight, Beretta, Onyx
Red: Rusty, Bruno, Knuckles
Female Names: Bella, Kimber, Raven
Red: Sadie, Lexi, Morgan
Name of my doberman pincher is “Tycon”…:)
As my boyfriend is a fan of older country music, our doberman is named “Coe” after David Alan Coe.

one of our dobies is called rizla a four year old fawn and tan male
and loyal as the days long
our other dobie is liver and tan called ruby shes 3 years old and just as loyal

he also has a brother ( my moms dog) named adonis (he is red & rust) meaning hansom
my almost year old dobies name is Damon meaning constant and loyal which all dobies are 🙂 (he is male blk & rst)
My dobbie who just died was named Boanerges (Son of Thunder) but we all called him Bo
One of the best doberman names- BROSHUS
Had three red dobies named
LIEBCHEN
Now, I have the wonderful
ANUBIS
We have a 1yr old rust and black female . She is so sweet and loves to swim in the pond everday . Also we have ducks and chickens which she doesnt bother . We named her Fa. Stands for Forever and Always.

Had 5 male dobes over the years: Prince, Samson, Max, Spike and Tyson. Getting a new pup in a couple of weeks, so have to come up with a new name!!
I got my female Doberman when she was 9 weeks old. She’s currently 13 weeks old. As soon as I saw her I instantly named her Bella because I thought she was absolutely beautiful! So far Bella’s such a good dog & get’s along amazingly with my other dog Rocky (German Shepherd/Collie mix). She’s also been very easy to house break so far. She had her tail done & dew claws done already when i got her but not her ears. Is it too late to get her ears done?
my dog name is tinku thanks for this website 🙂
Our 10 year old, who we just lost in October was named “Sniper”
My dobbie’s name is OMEGA
My male dobies name is ENZO
Our dobe’s name is Sensei! Best name ever for the best dog ever! :^)
We called ours Zara
I’ve had all wonderful, loving Dobie children since 1979. Baron, Deustein, Sam, Rumor, Blue & Whisper. Blue & Whisper r with me now, my special friends. Gotta luv these big loving lap Dobies! My world to me…
My black n tan girl is Charli. She still has her floppy ears and long tail. She is now a year old and the sweetest baby. I rescued her and so glad I didn’t just pass by her. She was so tiny when found everyone thought she was a minpin. Lol but her legs out grew her soon enough. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog.
My 7mo old red/rust is named Deuce (Deuce is Wild)…..and he is 🙂
My black/rust female is Raven. She is beautiful and gentle.
There are some really great name ideas on here. Thank you!
the best doberman ever, died few months ago… Hugo… my love,my life…
I named my little guy, Munich…. which is the city he came from. (Munich, Germany)
My first male was Toby, thirty years ago. Our pure Russian female is black & mahogany, we call her Raven, middle name is Svetlana. But we should have called her trouble, and we love her to no end.
I’ve owned dobermans for 25 yrs + and loved each one. My first was a red female Sheba; another red female Scarlet. A big red male named Rusty and my last red male Clifford that died last year. Our daughter named him when she was 6. We are about to pick up our new red baby boy in a few days and we’ve narrowed our name list to 3. Still thinking.:)
Gonna name my little red male Rolo like the candy but still a strong assertive name just hope my corgi doesn’t role over every time i call Rolo.
I named my dobbie male “Tigger” thats other way i spell trigger as he is as fast as active as a bullet is after it is triggerred. May sound strange but hes cute and ferocious both at the same time. Long live dobbies……..
My first Dobie was a male blk/Rust named Nero after the emperor. Boy do I miss him.. Now we have a brand new baby boy blk/rust named Diavlo.. Its the Italian version of Diablo.. Have had many compliments on both of the names.. & the lil guy has really owned the title so far cuz he certainly is a lil devil! 😉
When i was in third grade my folks surprised me with a black and tan female just 8 weeks old and i had her for fourteen years she was the greatest playmate and babysitter for a only child growing up in the middle of nowhere! Anyway i think she had the best name Hexa von hexon just called her Hexa in german the translation means “The Witch of Witches” SO NOW I just turned forty and finally in the morning I get to pick up a new Little black and tan girl i am finally stable with work money family and my own mortgage that i feel I Can offer her everything and she will lead a blessd fun life would it be weird to name her the same Hexa
We have a great dobe that is 2 years old. She is our baby and her name is Ruby. It was a great name because it is easy to call for her when she is out or when she is in trouble 🙂 The best thing is that her name is pretty but not dumb for a dog of her size.
Growing up, I had Dobermans named Mona (because she moaned a lot), Greta, and Rex. My large male Dobe is named Atticus (which is on the list!) and we constantly get compliments on his name. Our blue is Willa, which confuses people (Will? Willow?) and our red is Nellie. I do like Aslan for a male, and we have a friend with a blue named Zola, which is also a great name.
I named my Doberman Rommel
We had a beautiful black and tan male named Dante,our new baby girl is Indigo, we will begetting a new male also who we are going to call Guinness. We might have to wait to see, the personality of these gorgeous dogs always shines through when you finally meet them.
We called our big girl Liesl after the teen girl in the sound of music and it suits her so well, wilful, smart, lively and pretty 🙂
We are getting a male dobe in a few weeks and we are thinking of calling him either Bennet, Siruis, Conan, Dexter or Ace….but i really like the name Bennet 🙂
We are getting a male dobe in a few weeks and we are thinking of calling him either Bennet, Siruis, Conan, Dexter or Ace….but i really like the name Bennet 🙂
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.
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).
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.
My grandson’s red male is named Ruger and our black and rust male is Gunner. Both dogs are loved very much.
We have 2 Dobies. Starsky and Hutch.
I rescued a 90 pound, 2 yr old male named, Capone. When asked what his name is by new aquaintences, they always say, “How original”, or “That’s cool!”. I was so glad I didn’t have to change it! =)
I also like the name “Drago” (pronounced with a short “a” sound. It was a character on the HBO series. “Game of Thrones”.
I’m thinking about getting a dobbie and the names I liked were Mad Maxx – male – and Maveric – male-.
We have a three year old Black and Tan that we call DEBO
we have a red and tan female that is 9 months and we named her Liz but she didnt like it and will come to lizabeth and weare getting ablue and tan male thay is 7 weeks old that im going to name blue sky of dakota call name koda we also had marnie,princess, ceasar.
wE HAD A VERY GORGEOUS FAWN MALE WE NAMED JUSTICE
I’m quite surprised no one has mentioned my new puppy’s name…CHANCELLOR!! I have a name I’ve been hiding in my pocket for awhile and just the right Dobe.I will call my next champion pedigreed Dobe GENERAL JUSTICE!! I had a fabulously Grand and Championed pedigreed German blood Dobe named Kaiser that lived for 13 years. We called him Cowhead cuz of his big head and paws when he was still growing into his massive 115 lbs size as a full grown Dobe. He was the most AWESOME animal I have ever known. I’m not just saying that cuz he was mine, he truly amazed and impressed every person that met Kaiser.
I love Chancellor! great doberman name.
Onyx. He is 8 months old. Black and tan. All natural. His original family had a daughter who was alergic. He’s like a person really, except he still tries to chase cats, I don’t know why since he sleeps with a cat every night.
My first Dobermann (black/tan) was called Jared, he lived to be almost 11 years and was a big gentle giant.
The Dobermann (black/tan too) who is in my life (and napping next to me on the couch) now is called Evgeni, he is a happy bouncy 5 year old boy.
We have a 12 week old male dobe, named him Zane.
I’m getting a blue baby girl in a few weeks, and I have no clue what to name her. My first doberman was Gia, and I had two males Roman (Black-Tan) and Brutas (Blue). Any sugestions would be amazing. Thanks!
our black-tan doberman was called Django….. we had him almost 13 yrs n were heartbroken when he left us, we are now getting a brown male (born 4 days ago) so are thinking of new names…. i like taipan (brown australian snake) yona (cherokee for bear) loki (norse god) khan (eastern ruler)
My red doberman’s name is Baron, like the Red Baron. My black doberman was Duke, and my black female was princess.
We have a black and rust 6 mo old female named Lucifer but we just call her Luci.
My dobermans name is Anubis (:
My first dobe we found skin and bone wandering the streets of Belfast in really bad shape, I was one year old at the time and inexplicably decided to name him Boover (I couldnt say Boomer) he was a beautiful black and tan boy about 18 months when we found him. We nursed him back to health, we got him another dobe companion at 3 years old, Maya, a 2 year old chocolate girl, we rescued from a shelter. I have an 11 month old girl now, black and tan, named Loca because she is completely bonkers, her best friend is my boyfriend’s rottweiler Diablo (I dont really like the name, hes such a softie, it doesnt really suit him).
We named our male Doberman Rommel
We named our first 5 dobes Rommel!
I had a red male named Zeus, and a blue female named Athena.
Zeus passed away and he was creamated so he can be with me, I now have a black Ace.
I think a good name would be Duke or Bear. 🙂
I have 2 dobermans, both chocolate and tan. Called Eva and Ace.
My black male I had named Attila, it was strong and it seemed to fit him perfectly. 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. My red female I named Athena after the goddess of war and wisdom and boy is she smart, I taught her to whisper and how to open doors! They are my children and I love them as such!
Our sweet black/tan doberman “Capone” passed away September 21, 2011. On a happier note, we get our new doberman puppy December 15. Can’t wait and eager to find him a good name!!!
We have a black/tan dobie named Bentley, and a red male named Diego 🙂 They’re my sons!!! 🙂 Love dobermans!!!
I called my male doberman Rolo (after the choc. and caramel round candies); sadly Rolo passed on Feb. 28th 2011; happily I am picking up my new male doberman puppy this Thursday; and I think I’ll call him “Brinks” after the security company or “Boomer” after his great grandfather; can’t decide…. (that’s why I’m looking here.. 🙂
My black/tan boy is Rocko. My red/ brown boy is Lenny. Not sure why, they just looked like a Rocko & Lenny.
I have the absolute most handsome Red male, named Deuce Carter. And must I say, this is no dog! He is my son. 😉

We got our dob 3 weeks ago. He is a red male His name is Ammo!!! He is the bullet without a gun for our home. Hints his name!!
My grandmas Dobies were Dutchess, Pepper, Blaze, and Brutus. My moms was Casey. No i cant figure a name for my 10 week old male.
When I brought Ulysses home I had no idea of how he’d be named. Basically, he spent the first week nameless because I couldn’t decide for one! I finally did and his name couldn’t fit him better.
Other choices were: Cedric, Ari, Zac, Ruffo and Danko (among dozens of other possibilities!)
My first Dobie was Baron Von Richthofen (Red Baron),black / rust male. He was a my magnificant friend for 14 years. Now waiting for our next boy arriving june 2, 2011. My wife is driving me crazy thinking of names. . .
I am partial to red or fawn dobies. Had an incredible female named “Zena”, she trained my other dogs, I didn’t have to do a thing. I really like the name “Diesel” for a male.
We have a red male and his name is saint Francis Joseph bileddo the lll or frankie for short haha love him!!!!!!
That’s funny Whitney I just got my first doberman a few days ago and I named her Desi after Desi Arnaz. I know she’s a girl but i thought the name would be original. 🙂
I have a red dobe that we named Lucy, after Lucille Ball. She is a pistol and such a comedian. Her name fits her well. For people she meets the always remember her name.
Joe:

I’ve had 3 females. Two black and tan and a fawn named Harley and 2 named Willow.
Our male is Prince Machiavelli; our female is Athena. They belong to my older son and we are just boarding them until he comes home from overseas. Athena just had 9 puppies. 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.
My first dobe, black and rust girl, was Aden, got her niece, also a blk and rust, Aila and my next will be Inara. Just waiting for the right time.
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!!!!!
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.
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.
Since I love classic rock, I named him Clapton.
Our Red/tan guy is has the ultimate alpha-dog macho sleek and sexy name… Willis!
We are continuing the tradition of black and tan Dobies in our family. Our first gentle giant was named Luke, followed by our good boy, Max, who we just lost this October. Yesterday we welcomed our new doberbaby, Jack.
We’ve had 4 Dobies in the past and are now owners of a new female red pup….we’ve had a black male Stryker, and a Baron, a black female Chyna, a Red male Reuben, and our new red pup is Sara. All have been wonderful pets!
My female blk & brown dobie is named Shayla.
We have had 4 dobermans-Turbo, Turbo II, Ceaser and Hobie which was our first red/rust. We named our last one after surfing, along with our two goldens named Gidget and Woody. Hobie passed 2 months ago at 9 years of age(cancer of course) and our next red male may be named Rusty.
We have a red male puppy. My son Cody says he is his “Bro” (since he only has 2 sisters) . Cody named him “Brody” . Cody and his dog Brody.
My black and rust male’s name is Vinnie, and the name sooo suits him.

Dobermans are simply THE BEST!!
hi all,
we had a beautful black tan girl for a glorious 12 yrs, her name was Tess. We are now awaiting the eight week mark to get our new red rust baby girl, and are deciding between a few names…
Jersey,— sounds nice n strong n cool.
Kalani,—means from the Heavens.
Katima,—means Powerful Daughter.
Keely,—means Beauty.
All names are gorgeous, now its decision time.
Our dobes are female is Shyla our males are Revan and Loki
My aunts dobes were raven and talon
A friend of ours female is named hawk
Our dobes are female is Shyla our males are Revan and Loki
My aunts dobes were raven and talon
A feeing of ours female is named hawk
My Red Dobermans name is Jack Attack! Not because he is an attack dog but because he gets very excited and will not leave you alone until you play with him! I am abt to get another Dobie and i am thinking of naming him Ace!
We just picked up our Dobie from the breeder – we named him Maui! 🙂
We named our male Ninja. Black and sleek.
My black an rust dobie is named Black Sabbat. We call her Sabbath.
We have a 1 and a half year old girl named Missy.
I think it’s very fitting for petite Dobes.
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
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 🙂
Lucian
My red girl’s name is Lady Magenta. I truly LOVE this dog.
my first dobbie’s name was Zorro DeLavega but we just called him Zorro

My female black/rust dobe is named Zena Aphrodite
Our dogs are named Wilsons Red Rose (shes red and rust)
Wilsons Maximum Blue
and Wilsons Tiny Prancer ( known as Runt Runt)
How bout Tinkle bell…just kiddin
I like Troytl or Cypress or Gabriel
I´ve got two dobermans, Kitaro and Saori!!
I choose roscoe because its a strong name so it fits my dog
We’re naming our female doberman Kierra.
i love the name cane thanks!
My female is named Alexus after a-Lexus!
I had a dobe named Drakkar
Should have added more. Our little guy is a red as well
‘Titus”aka tiny cause he is so small or toilet bowel since he won’t stay out of it…lol

Our Red Male is “Bentley” for the very espensive and elegant automobile!
