The Rottie, as they are often known, is a popular guard dog and often leads to tough or macho names like Bear, Duke and Hulk. Have you heard a Rottweiler names Powder Puff, Pinky or FiFi?
In the famous dog names category, the following Rottweiler dog names come to mind. Indo and Zhaki are Will Smith's Rottweilers and Baby is a Rottie belonging to Leonardo DiCaprio.
OK, Baby may not be so bad as Pinky, but pretty darned close!
Something to remember when naming your Rottweiler Dog is to match your dog's personality, purpose and stature with their name. This is one tough dog and you might want a tough name to match.
