Top tips for naming your Rottweiler 

Think outside the box: there's nothing wrong with more common dog names - after all, they're popular for a reason! But don't be afraid to add your own personal touch. Your favorite book, TV character, interest or hobby can all be a great source of inspiration when it comes to naming your dog! 

Draw upon your pup’s appearance: Unlike other breeds, you pretty much know what you're getting with a Rottweiler. That said, you can still draw upon their appearance for naming ideas. Check out these black dog names to get started!

Lean into naming trends: The Rottweiler dog breed has a reputation for being powerful (if somewhat controversial). This has seriously influenced Rottweiler name trends over the years. Strong, tough names like Thor, Rambo, and Hunter have been doing the rounds for years! 

Less is more: Rottweilers are super clever, but super strong-willed, which means training is a must. Give them a helping paw and choose a short, clear-sounding name with 2-3 syllables max to avoid confusion, especially when dog training. Likewise, avoid names that may be misheard for common commands.
