Dog Names Ending in ji

Introduction

If you are looking for an upbeat and happy sounding name, then those that end in "ji" are definitely some to consider. These letters together make a skipping, lilting sound that brings to mind energetic little dogs or large dogs that always seem to be smiling. Whatever the reason may be for you to consider a "ji" name, there is no doubt that it will end up being a memorable choice since there aren't many common names that end with these particular letters. So settle down with a movie (perhaps Jumanji) and start the journey of choosing the perfect name.

Benji

Our spotlight dog, Benji, was originally known as Higgins, but he was gifted his new name along with a new (and very fulfilling) life! For those of you who have heard of the movie Benji and its sequels, this name will be very familiar. There are lots of different storylines that follow the mixed breed dog and his canine adventures, but the first film was very successful with a plot that portrays a homeless stray who desires to have a family of his own. Benji the dog spends his days in the neighborhood, visiting children and dreaming about finding the perfect home. When some children by the names of Paul and Cindy Chapman decide to take Benji in, the adventures begin when they must convince their father to allow the dog to stay. With kidnappings, drama, a dramatic ending and more, this feel-good family film is definitely one that won over many hearts.

Perhaps the best thing about this movie is the fact that Benji himself (or Higgins as he was first called) went through something rather similar before he entered fame. As a shelter dog, there was no guaranteed future for the little mixed breed. Thankfully, in 1960, Benji was discovered by the Hollywood animal trainer, Frank Inn. Frank was out to find the perfect dog for the idea of Benji and as was his usual habit, he started with checking local shelters first. It wasn't long before he stumbled upon the dog who would soon be Benji at the Burbank Animal Shelter near Hollywood. Joe Camp, who was the mastermind behind the Benji film, spent his time receiving rejection after rejection on his doggy film. He knew that it would be a hit, however, so he didn't give up and finally it was accepted! Benji (Higgins) and a couple other shelter dogs were put through a "Benji Bootcamp" run by Camp's wife to see which one would make the cut. Higgins passed with flying colors and won the role, but the other two dogs were winners as well. Thanks to all their training they became great dogs and went on to be with great families. If you have a dog that reminds you of Benji, or perhaps a shelter dog that needs a really cute name, this title may be perfect to consider. Even though Benji was a mixed breed, there is no doubt that his worth and value shone brightly, making him very special to those who were lucky enough to work with him.

Dog Name Ending in 'ji' Considerations

Personality and size are going to be the two most common factors when it comes to deciding on whether or not a "ji" ending name may be a good fit for your pet. Due to the fact that these names come from all over the globe and many of them can be applied to any kind of breed, there is no real distinction on dogs that would fit based on origin or breed type alone. Because of this, you can have fun choosing a name based on what your new friend is really like! For instance, if you have a small, rather quiet, black dog that is loyal and somewhat stubborn, than the name Jiji may be a great option (as this represents a companion of Kiki's from Kiki's Delivery Service). On the other hand, if you have a large to medium sized dog that is rather mischievous or naughty, then the name Jumanji may be one to consider, as this represents the movies and game Jumanji where a board game comes to life and brings lots of trouble with it (as well as some good lessons to learn). The names on this list are fun and unique, so enjoy exploring!
