Tips for naming a wolf or wolf-like dog

  • Short names work best for dogs — one or two syllables are easy to call (Ash, Luna, Koda).
  • Look at the coat and eyes. Silver, Storm, Frost, and Shadow suit their colors.
  • For stories, add meaning. A name that means “wolf” (like Lowell or Phelan) is a nice hidden detail.
