Awesome Marvel MCU Dog Names
If you spend too much time watching movies and TV shows that are part of the MCU, you probably have already come up with some great new names for your new puppy.
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. Loki is the best name in 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.

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.

Great Marvel dog names that I have left off? Let me know!

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

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.
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.
