Cool Basset Hound Names

Known for being incredibly unique pets, these dogs come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

We think the funky spots and splashes of color on their coat are very cool, and that they deserve a cool name!

Fresh monikers can be found all over the place, from unique aspects of nature (e.g. ‘Eclipse’ and ‘Shadow’) to geographical names (e.g. Africa) and words in cool languages like Hebrew!

We believe some of the coolest words include lots of clashing consonants, like ‘Ajax’ and ‘Knox’, as these are not normally used as dog names.

Color names are also really fun, and we recommend them for a dog that oozes quirkiness and originality!
