Although not everyone admits it, we are all a bit of a geek at something: series, fashion, healthy eating… Geek pride! If you have a hobby that you love or are a bit quirky and have a pet, get out a piece of paper and a pen to write down. We offer you some ideas that will help you choose the name of your new puppy. These are names inspired by comics, television fiction, video games, science fiction… If you’re a geek, you have to call your dog that.
The best names for dogs if you are a geek
Marvel
The Marvel universe is fascinating. Spider-Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Wolverine, Iron Man… Since we know it’s impossible to pick just one name, why not call your dog Marvel? It refers to the company founded by Stan Lee and Martin Goodman that published comics in which all these fascinating characters appeared. If your dog has been your salvation and he is always there to protect you, you can put Marvel on him. It is a name that hits more for males.
They have
“Star Wars” has legions of fans, which is why there are thousands of dogs with a “Star Wars”-inspired name. You can name your Han pet after Han Solo, the character played by Harrison Ford. Other names related to in this great saga that you may like to call your dog are Yoda, if he is a small breed; Vader, if his fur is completely black; Chew, if his hair is long and disheveled like Chewbacca’s; or Leia, if she is a very warrior dog.
Mario
There are many dog owners who do not like to call their pet with a human name, but in this case it is more than justified. If you name your pup that way, you will be paying homage to the most famous adventurous plumber in the world. Remember that you should avoid the name of this Nintendo character if you have a close relative who is called that, because when you yell it your dog will be very confused without knowing who you mean.
Naruto
If you are a geek of the manga and anime “Naruto”, what are you waiting for to name your dog with the name of the protagonist? If your dog can’t sit still like Naruto Uzumaki and appears out of nowhere when you least expect it like a ninja, this name is made for him. Also, if he always tries to make you laugh or his way of being just makes you laugh, this name suits him a lot, since Naruto is a joker.
Sheldon
He is one of the most adorable geeky characters that television has given us in recent times. The scientist Sheldon Cooper from “The Big Bang Theory” has conquered the hearts of millions of viewers with his ‘Zash, all over the mouth’. The character played by Jim Parsons is intelligent like no one else, a bit egotistical and has some trouble relating to the people around him. If your dog surprises you every day with what he is capable of doing, this name is perfect for him.
Stars
“Star Trek” geeks who want to pay homage to the great series when choosing the name of their dog, have to name her Star. It is a name directly related to this series that began broadcasting in 1966. If you translate from English The word star means star, so it is a name especially suitable for those dogs whose personality makes them shine wherever they go. This is a very beautiful name for any female pet. And if your pet is male, why not name him Spock?
Lady
If when you watch “Game of Thrones” the ‘one more little chapter and I’ll turn it off’ thing gets out of hand, this name is perfect for your pet. It references Sansa’s dire wolf that had to be put down. It is a very appropriate name for the most faithful and calm female pets. It is suitable for any breed of dog and transmits a lot of elegance and poise.
Hugo
If your dog is a large and very hairy breed like the Saint Bernard or Newfoundland, it has to be called Hugo. This name refers to Hugo Reyes, the character from “Lost” played by Jorge Garcia. This series that aroused (and still arouses) passions around the world can be a good excuse to show what you’re a bit of a geek about.
Hulk
If your dog has incomprehensible strength, never tires and is as big as a horse, the name you’re looking for is Hulk. The quintessential green character made his first comic book appearance in 1962. And as gross as he is, he has millions of fans around the world. This name will go very well with huge breeds such as Great Danes or Mastiffs. If your pet is female, you can name her the Hulka or She-Hulk.
Jeff
The name of Jeff Albertson may not sound too familiar to you, but if we tell you that he is the salesman for The Simpsons comics, his image will surely come to mind. This name is perfect for dogs that, like this geeky character, are a bit chubby. If your pet appreciates lying at home more than going out to the park for a run, this is his name.
