Introduction

Widely regarded as one of the best comedy series of the modern era, The Office not only made people laugh, but broke ground with its documentary-style delivery. Although originally created by British comedic genius Ricky Gervais, the American version far outplayed its foreign counterpart, stretching for nine full seasons before finally calling it quits in 2013. It launched the careers of numerous stars and in the process, brought delight to its fans with the perfect mix of realistic personalities and hilarious situations. Because of it, for anyone who is a diehard fan of the show or has an offbeat sense of humor, The Office makes for the perfect place from which to draw inspiration for dog names.

The Office Dog Name Considerations

Generally speaking, the best way to choose a great name is to give some consideration to your dog’s most standout features, such as their appearance, personality, or quirks and try to match them up with an appropriate character, and therefore name, from the show. There are tons of ways to analyze both your furry character and those on the show, from the things they do to the things they say, so keep an open mind when evaluating potential fits. 

For instance, if you have a dog that loves to ignore you, then Stanley or Hudson would be great names. If they have a high voice and never seem to stop barking, yipping, or making noise, then Kapoor would be a good fit. If they’re particularly selfish, then maybe Howard would be more apt. If they’re a bit shy or soft-spoken, Toby or Flenderson, would work, just as Malone would be great for a dog that’s a bit dopey. If they are notorious for stealing things when you’re not looking (or sometimes even when you are), then both Creed and Bratton would be fantastic choices, especially if they’re also a little weird. 

Whatever you choose, don’t hesitate to go back and watch the show to refresh yourself with each character’s quirks. You never know which line or episode will finally give you that Ah-ha (or ha ha) moment.
