Brown Dog Names

  1. Donnan

    • Origin:

      Irish

    • Meaning:

      "small brown-haired child"

  2. Russet

    • Origin:

      English, French

    • Meaning:

      "reddish brown"

    • Description:

      Russet has a lot of potential. It's a rustic word name, associated with homespun cloth, apples, and an earthy shade of reddish-brown. At the same time, it's similar enough to the likes of Russell, Ross, Bennet and Emmett that it doesn't sound too out of place. Surprisingly, however, it has never featured in the US charts — perhaps held back by its link to potatoes?

Alternatively, it could be a variation of Marion or a surname adapted for use as a first name. Marron has a sophisticated, somewhat mysterious quality with its smooth sound and uncommon usage.
