Introduction
Yo, all you lyrical geniuses out there, have your lives just become a million times better when you adopted your doggo? Of course they have, and to make it the coolest dog that ever lived, you have to give them a cool name, right? Well, luckily enough, you are a huge fan of hip hop, a musical genre with some of the smoothest, coolest, most slick musicians out there who never miss a chance to remind the rest of us how awesome they, in fact, are. And if that is not good enough for your doggo, maybe they will drop a hot mixtape this summer and school you all about the importance of being smooth.
Hip Hop Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture
Probably the most logical step would be to honor the legendary musician Snoop Dogg here, however, even though his name would suggest it, Snoop is only a human. Did someone say Nate Dogg? Oh, human again. What about Bow Wow, McGruff, Milkbone, or Tim Dog? Last time we checked they were all still human, not canine. However, there is one doggorino in the hip hop world that could put all the musicians to shame (or at least make them rethink their styling options). We are, of course, talking about the adorable Dinky, the hip hop dog.
This lovely mutt is quite an Internet celebrity, boasting over 100k followers on Instagram, and over 11k on YouTube. Dinky is one of those dogs that just love the attention, the hype, and the finer things, and let’s face it, you might be cool, but it is impossible to reach Dinky level of cool. Whether he is claiming ownership of a luxurious car by casually resting his paw on it to the sounds of Kanye West’s Mercy, or counting piles of cash on his very own doggy throne surrounded by Gucci scarves and fake guns, or perhaps cruising by the pool in his vintage car while checking out some beautiful ladies, Dinky knows how to do it in style.
The adorable mutt, probably a Maltese mix, is always ready to pose. His fashion choices are the illest, his love for dark sunglasses brings up the coolness to over 9000, and even when he’s flexing, he does it with class. Dinky’s collection of cars is nothing short of impressive, that one can’t help but wonder, when they see him rollin’, are they hatin’, are they patrolling, trying to catch him ridin’ dirty?
Dinky is also not a stranger to an occasional drop of fine drinks, he is quite the ladies man, and the way he rolls up to the event in one of his fancy cars can leave any pupperina week in the knees! Yes, Dinky is quite cool. Even though he has a cute, adorable name, and not a tough hip hop moniker, does that really matter? He invented awesome and we can all just sit back and try to achieve those levels of smoothness. It is safe to say that Dinky does indeed put OG in dog!
Hip Hop Inspired Dog Name Considerations
As a new dog owner, or should we say, best friend, it is only natural to want a great name for your new pup, the one which will showcase how much you live for hip hop and how much you appreciate the lifestyle. Now, let’s say your new friend has a gray coat, perhaps they are an Alaskan Malamute, a Whippet, an Italian Greyhound, or maybe even Cane Corso. In that case, you can go classic and name your puppy after the Icelandic rapper Grá Pje, Grá meaning grey.
What about the infinitely cool dog who likes to sport sick shades, big chains, and maybe even an occasional cigar (doggy treat)? Well, a name such as Dadykewl can be just perfect! Dadykewl is, of course, an Icelandic hip hop artist who yet has to rise to mainstream prominence, but hey, doesn’t picking this name make you a true rap connoisseur? Not every name has to be mainstream, and not every mainstream hip hop musician is better than the underground ones! In the end, whichever route you end up on, you will probably have the coolest-named dog in your local dog park, and what better way to start up a conversation than to chat about names, right?
