When my parents decided that we could get a puppy, my mother took us kids to the pound to pick one out. Once we had her home we couldn't agree on a name. If you just brought home a male dog and you can't decide on what to name him, consider some of the following most popular male dog names.

Most Popular Male Dog Names: Trendy Names

Max
This one syllable name is easy to call out when your male dog is getting into trouble and has a masculine sound to it. This name would be great for large dogs with a strut.

Buddy
Who hasn't heard that a dog is a man's best friend? Well then what better name for a playful and loyal male dog of any size than Buddy?

Rocky
If your dog is scrappy and tough like Rocky Balboa then this name is perfect. Your male dog doesn't need to be big for this popular male dog name to be fitting.

Duke
Does you male dog have a heir of nobility and leadership? Did you just bring a large male dog into a house already occupied by smaller dogs? Then Duke may be just the right name for him.

Sparky
If you have a little dog that is the type to chase his tail for hours and constantly ask you to play fetch, then Sparky is a great name for him.

Winston
This name would be perfect for a calmer dog who enjoys laying around the house and can't be bothered with childish games of fetch. This name would also be great for an older male dog that you may bring home from the pound, big or small.

Is your new male dog a bit of a stinker? Whether your new dog is big or small, if they are nosy and can't seem to stay out of trouble, then Buster might just be the perfect popular male dog name for them.

Harley
This popular male dog name would make a great fit for a dog with a bad ass attitude who likes to strut his stuff around the house like he owns the place. You might even get his a leather collar with spikes on it.

Barney
Is your dog great with kids? Does he remind you of a big purple dinosaur? If so, then Barney would be a great popular male dog name for your dog.

Charlie
This popular male dog name is great for dogs large or small, who are extremely loyal and fierce, since the name "Charles" means "army, warrior".
