Greek Mythology Female Names

Athena

Wikipedia Athena Louvre

Aphrodite- This was the goddess of love, known for her beauty and the radiance of her smile. If you feel your dog is beautiful or has a great smile this could be a great name for your new puppy.

Hera- She is the queen of the heavens and goddess of marriage. If you plan on using your female dog to have puppies then this name could be perfect.

Athena- This is the female goddess of war. She was known for her intelligence, skill and battle strategy. If you have a female guard dog this could be a good fit or you could take the opposite approach and use this name on a really small, shy dog.

Greek Mythology Male Names

Poseidon

Apollo- This was the god of light and knowledge. If your dog is a smart breed like a Border Collie or Poodle this could be the right name.

Ares- He was the god of war and violence. If you have a Wolf Dog, Caucasian Shepherd or Cane Corso for a guard dog, this unique name could put fear into anyone.

Poseidon- He was the god of the sea, ruler of the waters. If you have a dog that loves water like a Labrador this could work well. Imagine if you were duck hunting and your dogs name was Poseidon.

The great thing about using Greek god names for your dog is that every time you call your dog you get to say a really fun name. Besides how many dogs on your street have the name Poseidon?
