Bullmastiffs can be notoriously difficult to name. They’re huge dogs, but that doesn’t necessarily make tough names the only suitable ones for them. They’re gentle giants, so tough names are often the exact opposite of what you want for your dog! Cute names can be equally as fitting for many Bullmastiffs. However, finding a cute name for such a huge dog can be challenging.

In this article, we help you select the perfect name for your canine.

How to Name Your Bullmastiff

Naming your dog can be difficult for a few different reasons. On the one hand, it can be difficult to come up with a name that you like. If you have multiple people taking part in the naming decision, finding a name that everyone likes can be even more difficult. Certain names just don’t seem fitting for your dog. On the other hand, you may have too many names for your dog. You may not be able to decide on a single name, and your “maybe” list gets longer and longer.

Either way, we highly recommend trying out a few names on your dog before coming to a decision. If you have multiple names picked, this can help you narrow it down. If you can’t find any name that is suitable for your pooch, trying on different names may help you get closer to that perfect one.

Your dog won’t get confused if you only use a name for a day or so. It takes most dogs way longer to learn their name than that, so your pooch will not realize that you’re switching their name.

In the end, the only requirement for a dog name is that it is something that you like!
