How to Choose an Amazing Alaskan Malamute Dog Name

Choosing an Alaskan Malamute dog name can be a challenge, but our tips below should provide some guidance.

Use the below tips to brainstorm names and come up with one that you will really like:

Use your favorite animal’s name as inspiration for naming your pet.

If you love panda bears (like us!) then consider naming your new pup after one of them! You could also consider choosing a cute term of endearment like “Buddy,” or even using simple descriptive words like “Arctic” or “Ice.” For example, if you choose the Alaskan Malamute’s name “Malamute,” you might also consider the dog breed Norwegian Lundehund.

Use your favorite movie character or TV show character as inspiration for naming your pet.

If there’s a famous character that your family loves, find out what they would have named their pet if they had one! For example, if you are a big fan of Katy Perry and her song “Roar,” then name your new pup Roarer. You can even think ahead to future generations by naming him/her after someone in the family line who you admire.

Think about what types of names sound good together to get ideas for naming your pet.

There are a few rules when it comes to choosing Alaskan Malamute names, and one of them is that you should avoid short single-syllable names, like “Buddy” or “Toby.” Instead, try combining two-syllable names to create a polysyllabic name rolled off the tongue nicely by human tongues across America! For example, if you love the fan-favorite 80s movie The Goonies, you could combine it with your favorite dog breed to get something like “Chunk’s Malamutes.”
