Pugs are one of the cutes breeds of dog. Growing up my neighbor had a pug named Buddha. It fit perfectly.
This pug was the friendliest dog. It loved everyone and was supper chubby. What better name than Buddha. The Buddha from history was a chubby monk who dedicated his life to helping others be happy. I felt my neighbors pug named Buddha had the same mission.
You might be reading this because you just brought home your cute little pug and you haven’t decided on a name yet.
You probably want a unique name that fits your pug.
Here are a few ideas for unique pug names.
Sniffles– When a pug gets excited he or she will snort, it kind of sounds like they have the sniffles.
Minnie– This would be a great name for a female pug. Since pugs are really mini this name fits well.
Toby– If you have ever seen the movie Roots. The main character is Toby. After eight hours of watching you are going to have the name Toby engrained in your mind.
Oprah– If you are a guy or a girl reading this I know you have watched Oprah. I am sure she made you happy just like your female pug will too.
Pip– Pugs are small and happy. That makes me think of Pippin from Lord of the Rings who is a small happy hobbit.
Penelope– If you haven’t seen the movie, Penelope is a girl who is born with a little pig nose. Pugs have flat noses as well but Penelope is a sweet girl that ends up being loved very much just like you will love your girl pug.
Thor– I like to name my pets the opposite of what they are. Thor is completely opposite from a pug. I love the image that comes to mind, imagine yelling Thor at the top of your lungs and seeing a little chubby pug run to you. That would make me happy every time.
