Mastiff names inspired by color
The AKC recognizes three colors of Mastiff: apricot, brindle, and fawn. Pay homage to your pooch’s fur and fluff with the below names inspired by coloring.
Apricot
- Goldie - perfect for apricot pooches with a golden hue
- Augustus - after the month of August
- Peach - or 'Peaches', after the fruit
- Ginger - ideal if your pooch has reddish-apricot undertones
- Apricot - speaks for itself!
Brindle
- Camo - as in camouflage, which is how the brindle coat pattern is often described
- Marble - ideal for paying homage to your brindle dog's marbling pattern
- Tiger - brindle coloring is often described as having a tiger-like pattern
- Patches - perfect if your pooch is more patchy than tiger-striped
- Mosaic - because there’s no doubt that your brindle pooch is just as beautiful!
If your brindle buddy has a particularly dark or black mask to their coloring, you can find more great names for black dogs right here.
Fawn
- Fawn - aka a baby deer, or a light brown color
- Sunny - to match your dog's tan fur (and happy disposition!)
- Biscuit - perfect for golden brown pooches (who are sweet enough to eat!)
- Sandy - for light tan pooches, taking inspiration from the beach
- Dior - French word meaning 'golden' (ideal if your pooch is a real fancy-pants)
Tips for naming your new furry friend
- Keep it short and sweet. Experts say that dogs respond best to short names that are 2 syllables or under, and those that begin with a strong consonant sound.
- Avoid words that may be misheard. So, avoid anything that may sound like a command or names that are shared by close friends and family members (especially if you're introducing your new puppy to your adult dog, now that could get confusing!).
- Take inspiration from your dog’s breed. While English Mastiff names may take inspiration from quintessentially English monikers such as Charlie, Henry or Lucy, pet parents looking for Tibetan Mastiff names may lean more into their pup’s historical roots, with names like Everest, Bagmed (Tibetan name meaning 'fearless'), or Yeshi (Tibetan name meaning 'wisdom').
