Finding the Right Irish Name for Your Dog
Your best friend doesn’t have to be an Irish Setter to have an Irish name. This beautiful island has quite a bit to offer — including a great set of dog names. We hope that our list has helped you find an ideal name for your pup!
Just remember that choosing a name for your dog should be a fun experience and we want to help make it as stress-free as possible. Whatever name you decide on, your puppy will love it. Just like with humans, nicknames will form as your puppy grows, so there’s really nothing to worry about. It’s always important to practice saying your pup’s name aloud a few times before you do make the final choice. What looks great on paper may not sound great in your voice, or might be tough for little ones to say.
If you’ve read through our list and still haven’t found the perfect name, it’s okay. There will be gold at the end of one of the rainbows you look down! Take a look at one of our many other lists:
