130+ Dog Names Starting with F: Fun Options For Your Pet

Whether you have a theme going or just like names that start with “F,” there are plenty of options for you to choose from. You may be surprised by the huge number of names out there that start with “F.” Luckily, we’ve divided these names into several categories below so that you can skip to the most fitting option.

Hopefully, one of the names below stands out as an awesome choice for your canine.

How to Name Your Dog

Naming your dog can be very fun, but it also tends to be a bit overwhelming.

Start by getting to know your furry companion’s personality, appearance, and unique traits. This will help you select a name that feels like a natural fit. Sometimes, you may actually want to put off naming your dog for a few days until you figure out their traits. Puppies will also change as they get older, so don’t worry too much about finding the “perfect” name.

You can also look at their color, size, and markings. Sometimes, a dog’s breed will give you some inspiration when it comes to naming. Other times, you may have to make some guesses when choosing a name (such as in the case of a mixed breed).

If you’re naming your dog alongside other people in your family, consider their feelings and opinions, too. The naming of a dog should be a family affair. It works best if everyone makes a list of their favorite names and then presents them to the others.

If you have small children, be sure they can pronounce the name! This is a mistake I personally made a few years ago when my daughter was 3 years old. You do not want the dog’s name to sound like something else when it comes out of your child’s mouth.

Traditional Names that Start with F

If you aren’t looking to go too far outside the bounds of “normal,” this list is a good option for you. We’ve included both male and female names that are more on the traditional side of things. These shouldn’t raise too many eyebrows, but they are still pretty unique.

Girl Dog Names that Start with F

If you want some specific girl names that start with “F,” we recommend starting with this list. These names range from very traditional to more unique, like Fiesta. All are more on the feminine side, though you should use them for a male dog if you’d like, of course.

Male Names that Start with F

These names are more on the masculine side of things, making them a great option for male dogs. Again, some of these are very traditional, while some others are sure to stand out.
