Red dog names take inspiration from a wide range of red characters, foods, and things found in nature. Other red names are traditionally given to red-haired babies — but would be just as darling on a red-furred pup.
Female red dog names include familiar choices like Scarlett, Rory, and Poppy, as well as unique names like Aithne, Hestia, and Roisin. Some more offbeat word names include Apple, Kindle, and Crimson.
Male red dog names include nature names as well, from fierce choices like Fox and Blaze to the more gentle Jasper and Rowan. Some fun red character names include the obvious choice — Clifford — as well as others like Elmo and Mario. Other unique red dog names include Clancy, Flynn, and Rooney.
Here is our full collection of names for red dogs, ordered by their current popularity on Nameberry.
