Ever heard of John Steinbeck, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Grapes of Wrath? He had a blue (black) standard named Charley.
Winston Churchill, the famous British leader, had two miniatures, but I could only add one name to the list. Why? Both of his dogs had the same name: Rufus.
This list includes dog names that sound stately or important, which is often how this well known breed is pictured. Names like Sophie, Penelope, Walter and Queen are on the list, as well as others I just like.
Something to keep in mind when naming your Poodle puppy is to match your dog's personality and purpose with their name. Maybe you want to choose from a list of famous dog names or one syllable dog names.
Or maybe you want to name your pup for a very personal reason, such as to remember someone special.
To learn more about this dog breed, visit our Poodle dog breed information page. It's always a good idea to learn about temperament, trainability, and even a little of the breed's history before settling on a new dog. It's also fun.
Below is a list of my favorite 101 Poodle names. Browse or study the list and have fun.
