Over 200 Best Pitbull Names – From Cute to Ferocious

If you’ve found yourself reading this article then there is a very good chance you’ve just added a new Pitbull to your family. This means congratulations are in order! Pitbulls are wonderful dogs and incredible companions!

In fact, Pitties are some of my favorite breeds altogether, and I say that as a human who spends her days with an insane amount of different dog breeds. I also say that as the owner of a sweet senior Pitbull named Pudge.

But let’s be honest for a second. Pitbull dogs and breeds like them have gotten a bad wrap.

Still, in spite of the stigma put on Pitbulls due to decades of misinformation, misleading studies, and the fact that they were historically bred for fighting, Pitbulls have proven themselves resilient.

These guys are all things cute, loyal, and perfect, which I’m sure you’ve figured out by now considering you’ve recently gotten your hands on one. You lucky duck!

I’m also pretty sure that you are pretty sure your Pitbull is the very best Pitbull in all the land, and that means he is going to need a name suited for the very unique, one-of-a-kind, and magical creature he is.

Well, say no more because I have you covered. As a self-proclaimed Pitbull enthusiast, I have come up with a list of over 200 Pitbull names perfect for your Pitty.

But before we begin, let’s talk about naming your Pitbull and why the name you choose may actually be a little more important than you think.

What’s In A Name? Why Naming Your Pitbull Is Important

Should naming your dog be taken as seriously as if you were naming, say, a person? Some might argue that it should, and some may even argue that naming your dog should be taken even more seriously when it comes to naming dog breeds who have certain stigmas surrounding their temperament.

As I covered above, we already know Pitbulls have been the center of breed discrimination for decades now, and that also means that Pitbulls have a lot to overcome.

You may want to try and consider the stigma surrounding Pitbulls when choosing the perfect name. If you don’t want people to be wary of your good boy or girl, go for names that are cute or friendly.

However, if you do want people to back off, you can always opt for some ferocious sounding Pitbull names. The choice is yours, really. There are no rules when it comes to naming your dog. Just suggestions.

You may have better luck getting your dog’s name to stick with him if it’s a name with two syllables like Rover or Jetson.

Dog names with one syllable like Rex or names with three or more syllables like Dahlilha can be tough for some dogs to latch onto and may take them longer to learn.

Don’t worry. The good news is that if you do have your heart set on naming your dog a one or three syllable name, it’s going to be fine. You may just need to work a little harder with good old Maxamillion to help him figure it out. Or you could just give him a nickname and call him Max.

See? You have options.

So, how long do dogs typically take before they finally figure out who they are? Most experts agree that with proper training, patience, and consistency, a puppy can figure out his name in as little as two weeks.

But what if you don’t have a puppy? What if you adopted an adult dog? Don’t worry, adult dogs can be renamed and sometimes they pick up even quicker than their younger counterparts on what their new name is.

Just remember that positive reinforcement is key when teaching your dog his new name. Use treats, positive reinforcement, and consistency when helping your dog learn his name and he should have it down in no time.

Now, are you ready for the fun part? Let’s talk Pitbull names!

How To Teach Your New Pitbull His Name Quickly

Naming your new Pitbull should be a fun and exciting experience, and it also plays a huge role in the bonding process between you and your pooch.

Furthermore, the ensuing training of your Pitbull when trying to teach him his name further helps you to bond and develop a trusting and deep connection.

Naming your Pitbull helps build the bond between the two of you. 

With that in mind, be careful of the way you introduce the new name to your puppy. Remember, you will want your dog to know that his name is a good thing and associate it with love.

Scolding and punishment should always try to be avoided during training of any kind, especially when training your dog his name.

For example, if your dog is just learning that his name is Max, and Max has a potty accident, and you are constantly saying “Bad Max. No!” He may begin to associate his name with punishments.

Instead, use positive reinforcement and treats. Say your dog’s name, and when he responds with a look, give him a treat.

Call your dog to you using his name, and when he comes, give him a treat. Do this over and over again consistently and, as we mentioned above, in as little as two weeks your pup should know exactly who he is!
