Candy Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

Candy is something that has been part of human society for an extremely long time. At the very beginning of candy, Cavemen dried honey and formed a type of taffy that they enjoyed often (as most who have a sweet tooth do). Ancient Egyptians took that same principal, but advanced it a step farther by using additional ingredients such as figs and nuts to enhance their candy experience. Many other countries such as Greece and China also enlisted the help of honey to make sweet concoctions, and things such as caramel didn't come to exist until around 950 A.D. Finally, the discover of chocolate was introduced to the candy world when Mexico discovered it's delicious secrets in 1519. Once this amazing substance was brought over to Europe by Spanish explorers, you could say that the rest was history. People have enjoyed using chocolate, caramel, and honey to create mouth-watering delicacies for centuries and there's no doubt that we will continue to do so for much, much longer.

Candy Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog With a Candy Inspired Name

Coco

Ariana Grande is a famous pop singer who loves high pony tails and rocking out on the stage. Another thing that she loves is dogs and currently she has 8 of them! The one that we are focusing on today is her Dachshund-German Shepherd mix, Coco. Next to all of Ariana's other dogs (Toulouse, Sirius, Pignoli, Cinnamon, Ophelia, and Strauss), Coco's name may seem a little bit basic. Despite this fact, everyone knows that Cocoa is a very sweet ingredient that is loved by many, so that name seems to say it all about this celebrity star dog!

Coco has made an appearance in one of Ariana's music videos and has her very own Instagram page as well. While it is not an extremely active account it is obvious that this is more due to Ariana's busy schedule than anything else. Coco clearly has a special place in her owner's heart as Ariana even has a hat that stats "Coco made me do it". With a prominent underbite and expressive eye-brow markings, Coco is absolutely adorable and has quite a lot of character.

As a Dachshund-German Shepherd mix, Coco is a smaller sized breed that has the coloring of a Dachshund with a more German Shepherd body. She is not bulky in any way, but rather petite and athletic. Her fur is short and smooth, with a beautiful dark brown color marked by tan "eyebrows" and tan along her legs and chest. With lively, mischievous eyes, it isn't hard to see how Ariana (and anyone else) would fall in love with Coco. And even though the name "Coco" is apparently the third most popular name on the planet, we think it fits her coloring and lovable personality perfectly.

If you have a dog with the same coloring as Coco, a few other great names that you could possible consider may be "Toffee", "Snickers", "Truffle", or even "Heath". All of these candy bars have a dark, tan, and caramel color theme going on. When it comes to personality, your dog doesn't have to be all sweet and cuddly like Coco. They can be adventurous, wild, and energetic as let's admit, sugar can give you quite a rush when you eat a lot of it. So whether you want to name your dog something sweet and simple like "Coco", or more on the wild side like "Twizzler", there is no doubt that a candy themed name is about as fun as Ariana is famous; so really fun!

Candy Inspired Dog Name Considerations

For those of you with a serious sweet-tooth, the idea of naming a dog after one of your favorite candies may have popped into the database of your mind. This category is excellent as there are so many amazing different types of candies to choose from, and some of them have really quirky and interesting names! While there are some candy titles that have been used quite often, such as Cocoa and maybe even Snickers, there are a lot more that are a bit more out of the box.

A good example of this would be the name "Jujubes" for a female dog. This is a fun and quirky name that you don't tend to hear often (unless it's a favorite of yours)!. Jujubes may be a perfect fit for a small to medium sized dog, with wiry hair, and a lively personality. When it comes to a unique male name, the candy "Zero" is quite a fascinating moniker. It is a white fudge-covered chocolate bar and has a rather mysterious ring to it. This name could work perfectly for either a small, sprightly dog like a West Highland White Terrier or even a large, esteemed breed such as the American White Shepherd.
