Awesome Marvel MCU Dog Names (From Superheroes to Villains)

Dr. Mark is a veterinarian. He has been working with dogs for more than 40 years.

If you spend too much time watching movies and TV shows that are part of the Marvel Comic Universe (MCU), you have probably already come up with some great new names for your new puppy.

How to Choose a Good Name for Your Dog

Dog names should be short, just one or two syllables, and the best names have a vowel on the end so that your dog will pick up the high note when you call him. In my opinion, Loki is the best name on the entire list, but obviously not one that everyone will want to choose. (Stay away from names like Mephistopheles—way too long for any dog.)

The list I provide will not be all of the names available from Marvel, but they are the best options for naming your dog.

Dog Names From Marvel Movies

Dog Names From Marvel TV Series

Best Male Puppy Names

• Banner (if you want to name your Frenchie after the Hulk and want to keep it an open secret)
• Danny (Iron Fist)
• Foggy (Daredevil)
• Luca (SHIELD)
• Malcolm (Jessica Jones)
• Parker (Spiderman)
• Roger (Agent Carter)
• Wilson (the anti-hero, since not all of us want a dog named after Daredevil)

Best Female Puppy Names

• Bambi (Iron Man)
• Brandy (Guardians of the Galaxy—not a character exactly but if you watched the movie you MUST remember this name.)
• Claire (Daredevil)
• Coleen (Iron Fist)
• Hayley (Agent Carter)
• Jessie (Defenders)
• Lacy (USAF, from Iron Man)
• Misty (Luke Cage)
• Patsy (Jessica Jones)
• Shuri (Black Panther, but sure to appear in others)

Before You Jump In and Name That Puppy . . .

Keep in mind a few basic rules when naming your dog. You will be glad you did.

• Do not name your dog something that sounds like one of his commands. If you find something you like on this list you will have no problems, but if you choose another name make sure it does not rhyme with sit, down, etc. (If you are not training him in English, then there may be names on here that sound like a command.)
• Do not give your dog a name that sounds like a dog you already have. It is already going to be confusing enough in your new home, so there is no need to make it any harder for your new puppy.
• Do not give your dog a stupid name.
• Do not give your dog an overused name. Find something that is going to be special to you and to him.

Remember to take lots of pictures of your little superhero. They grow up fast.

Spencer, do you really not know Fisk´s first name? Are you on here claiming you are an expert but have not even watched the series or read the comic?

Before you use the internet to tell people they do not know what they are saying, it would be a good idea if you knew what you were talking about.

Just saying.

Spencer on May 02, 2019:

Wilson, is after Wade Wilson who is Deadpool. Matt Murdock is Daredevil, and is not an antihero he protects the poor and weak in hells kitchen. Don't put that little extra when you do not know what you are even saying.

Alexis on January 14, 2018:

Great list! I particularly like the names Jarvis and Loki for a dog.

Dr Mark (author) from The Atlantic Rain Forest, Brazil on January 11, 2018:

Thanks Jenn. You also know that Loki is the number one best name for a Chinese Crested puppy, right? Go figure.

Jenn from Pennsylvania on January 11, 2018:

Love it! For some reason I really like the name Loki, which is likely to be the name I will choose for my next pet!

Dr Mark (author) from The Atlantic Rain Forest, Brazil on January 07, 2018:

It was a fun way to spend a rainy day! I think you do have to be attached to the characters to go with some of those names, but some of them just sound evil. Probably wont get confused with Mr. Wrinkles out at the dog park, either.

Bob Bamberg on January 07, 2018:

I think the best advice is "don't give your dog a stupid name." I had a customer who named his Shar Pei "Mr. Wrinkles." I loved the customer, and the dog, but I always hated the name.

I don't follow the superhero stuff, so everything is alien to me. Some of the names have a nice ring to them, but depending upon the character, they probably convey some sort of image that the dog will have to live up to. Another fun hub, though, with some common sense to close it out.
