Most Popular Dog Nicknames

What is your pet name for your dog?

Not what you call to make your dog come, because in that case mine would be "cookie" or "treaty".

But the one you say in a baby voice or when you are telling them how much you love them.

Don't feel silly. It is a term of endearment to call your pup "champ" or "buddy", even if his name is Hank.

But let's be honest, we all have more than one nickname for our beloved dogs. We name them after our favorite movie character, band, town, etc., but how often do you call your dog by its name?

Not very often, right?

It turns out you are not alone.

Just like actual names, there are popular nicknames that most people use with their dogs. Southern Living released 100 nicknames, but here are our favorites.

Do any of these sound familiar?

If your pet's nickname is not listed, be sure to leave it in the comments for all to see. Dogs make our lives whole and they don't care what we call them as long as we promise to love them unconditionally.
