What Would Be Cool Catholic Names For A Dog?

[KarenJoanna]

I am thinking of a saint's name or something derived from it. I fall short though.

[Ancilla Domini]

Rocco (aka Roch/Rock) - patron saint of dogs.

[Luigi]

Rocco is good. St. Roch is always portrayed with a dog holding a loaf of bread in his mouth. 

 

Peter Canisius would also be good. His given + family name was Peter de Hundt, which translates as Peter of the Dog. He referred to himself by using the Latinized form of the family name (related to "canine") and has always been known since as Peter Canisius.

Frankie after St. Francis- the patron saint of animals.  ;)

Raphael is good..Ralph for short, lol.

Dominic - St. Dominic's mother had a vision when she was pregnant with him of a dog running with a torch in his mouth, setting the whole world on fire with truth.

Will the dog be male or female?

[CatherineM]

Hubert is popular for basset hounds because bassets and blood hounds are descended from St. Hubert's hounds.

[Nihil Obstat]

Callixtus

[OnlySunshine]

Lucy after the St. Lucy - patron saint of the blind.  Lucy means "light."  Our last dog had this name.  :)

[KarenJoanna]

A lot of great names. One that I just came up with is Rochy for St. Rocho. 

[dUSt]

Dogs respond well to two syllable names that contain the "k" sound and end with "y". With this in mind, Rochy would be great. You want to avoid names that sound like a command. For example, "Bosco" has a sound in it that sounds like "no". "Misfit" sounds like "sit", etc. Unless you want a confused dog or a dog you don't want to boss around I guess.

 

My last dog's name was Benedict (Benny). Before that, Itchy. They're dead.

[Credo in Deum]

I'm going to name my next dog, Bob Barker.

Name your dog Fetch. Then tell him to sit. "Sit, Fetch!"

 

Insanity guaranteed.
