Dog Names that Start with F

Introduction

Naming a dog is kind of like naming a child: you need to pick a name that you enjoy, but that is still reflective of who they are. A name that will carry an entire identity and personality behind it for years and years to come. This is why so many people struggle to name their puppies, choosing to wait days, or even weeks, before finally deciding on something. Something helpful to consider is narrowing possibilities down by selecting one letter of the name you really want to use, like the letter "F." Let's see some name options that you may want to consider.

Dog Names that Start with F in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog with a Name that Starts with F

Frank the Pug

It's no surprise that dogs are really important in culture. They're not just in people's homes, protecting and accompanying their owners, but also in movies, books, TV shows, and theater productions. Maybe it's their big personalities, or maybe it's their furry faces, who knows? Whatever it is, the fact that dogs are everywhere makes for some pretty ironic, well-known dogs.

If there ever was a Pug that reflected just how charming, smart, and witty the breed can be, it's Frank the Pug from Men in Black. This particular Pug was small, straight-faced, deep-voiced (he spoke), and dressed in a white "I Love NY" hoodie. What makes it all the more hilarious is that the Pug was actually an alien in disguise. His mouth moved when he spoke, he was all personality, but he still scampered off and barked at cats like any other dog.

Another famous dog with a name that starts with an "F" is Flash, the Basset Hound from The Dukes of Hazard TV show, which aired from 1979 to 1985. Contrary to popular belief, Flash was a female, something that wasn't clarified until a while later. The dog that played Flash was named Sandy, and she is often described as a smart dog who would do anything for a wienie. She even had her own private dressing room, courtesy of actor James Best, better known as The Dukes of Hazard Sheriff, Roscoe P. Coltrane. After he wasn't given a girlfriend for the show, he demanded a dog be written in as his companion, and the rest is history. Flash became one of the most famous cast members, affectionately described as the lazy attack dog that rarely got up to actually do much of anything.

Meanwhile, Friday was the star of the 2009 film Hotel for Dogs. This Jack Russell Terrier essentially started the entire hotel by leading both Andi and Bruce to Georgia. This sweet, loving dog could do anything, even set himself loose when tied up, or lead an entire pack of dogs. If that's not amazing enough, all the dogs in the film had to be specially trained for stardom. That means careful selection went into the film, ensuring they chose dogs that showed the most potential to be on the big screen. That means Friday was not only this loving dog in a film, Friday was a charming dog in real life too, enough to make Hollywood executives want to invest time and money.

Dog Names that Start with F Considerations

When selecting a dog name, it's important to keep a few things in mind. Things like their personality, their appearance, their likes and dislikes, and even their skillset. No two dogs are ever alike, so a name should reflect each puppy differently. It should celebrate that particular dog.

For instance, perhaps your dog is extremely fast and enjoys running around the house, the yard, and the dog park. In order to be insanely fast, he's probably slender, short-haired, and athletic. Clearly, this is a very active dog, one that doesn't tire too easy. He'd be a great jogging companion, no matter how early in the morning it is. Using this information, you could name your dog after names that sound very speedster.

Something else to consider is their hobbies. All dogs have things they tend to do more often than others! Some dogs are adventurers at heart, and thrive on hikes, camping, fishing, and other outdoorsy activities. Meanwhile, other dogs just aren't like that. They might prefer to spend more time indoors, playing with their toys or the other pets in the home. These are dogs that prefer familiar spaces where they feel secure. They thrive on familiarity and social interaction more than anything else.
