400 Popular & Unique Maltese Names for Your Adorable Pup

Dogster_Maltese Names

Naming your Maltese isn’t something to take lightly. After all, it’s a name that you’ll have to hear yourself and other members of your household calling out on a daily basis. It helps to make the name something that’s easy to remember, short, and a bit catchy.

If you have more than one dog, it helps to consider a name that doesn’t sound similar to your other dogs (or cats), as this can cause a house of confusion. To help make things easier for you, we have rounded up some of the best names to consider for your male or female Maltese.

As you can see, there is no shortage of names available for your dog. If you have a home with multiple dogs or other pets, be sure to consider the names and how they may sound in relation to the other pets in the home. Names that are shorter, catchy, or unique are usually great options and they can become interesting conversation starters when you’re at the dog park.
