Choosing cool weed dog names: Here are some top picks for your cannabis loving canine pal.

Alright, let me tell you about this naming adventure I went on a while back. My neighbor got this scruffy little terrier mix, super chill vibe, you know? And we got to talking about names. Standard stuff at first, Max, Buddy, Rocky… yawn.

Then someone, I think it was Dave, threw out a funny one related to, well, you know… that green stuff. We all laughed, but then it kinda stuck in my head. The dog did have this laid-back, happy-go-lucky thing going on. So, I actually started thinking, what names could work along those lines without being totally over the top?

The Brainstorming Session

So, I grabbed a notepad later that day. Seriously, just started jotting things down. It began with the obvious ones, which honestly, felt a bit silly for a dog you gotta call out in the park.

• Bud or Buddy (Too common, but okay)
• Mary Jane (Nah, not for a boy dog, and maybe too direct?)
• Indica or Sativa (Sounded kinda cool, like exotic names)
• Kush (Short, punchy, I kinda liked this one)
• Doobie (Felt a bit goofy)
• Blaze (Maybe a bit much?)

We kicked these around over beers the next weekend. It was funny seeing the reactions. Some folks thought it was hilarious, others were like, "Are you serious? You gonna call your dog 'Kush'?" My neighbor, the dog's actual owner, was mostly amused but also a bit hesitant. He lives in a pretty buttoned-up area, you know?

Getting Specific

I started thinking more about the vibe than the actual words. Less direct references. Things like:

• Marley: Obvious connection for some, but a great name on its own.
• Herb or Herbal: Kinda gentle, earthy.
• Smokey: Classic dog name, but has that double meaning.
• Ace: Short for something else? Maybe a bit of a stretch, but it came up.
• Nugget: Cute for a little dog, right?

We talked about the dog's personality again. He was small, kinda golden-brown, and definitely liked to just chill on the porch. 'Nugget' actually got a few votes. 'Marley' was popular too.

The Final Decision

In the end, my neighbor chickened out a bit. He loved the brainstorming, thought the whole process was funny, but he just couldn't picture yelling some of those names across the dog park or explaining it to his mom. Fair enough, I guess. It’s his dog.

He ended up naming the little guy "Rusty". Perfectly fine name, suits the dog's color. But man, that brainstorming session was something else. It really made me think about how we choose names and what unspoken rules or judgements float around even for something as simple as naming a pet. It was a fun exercise, even if 'Kush' the terrier never became a reality.
