Dog Names That Start With M: Cute & Popular Picks for Your Pup!
Okay, so I've been thinking about getting a new puppy. A fluffy little friend to brighten up the days, you know? And the first big step, besides puppy-proofing the house, is picking the perfect name!

I decided to go with a name that starts with "M" because, well, I just like the sound of it. So I grabbed my phone and started brainstorming. My first thought was just to list out random "M" names:
- Max
- Milo
- Murphy
Yeah, pretty basic, I know. But it was a start! I scribbled them down on a notepad, just to get them out of my head.
Then, I opened up my laptop and started searching online. I just typed in something like, "dog names starting with M" and, boom, tons of lists popped up.
I went through several websites, each one had hundreds of names and jotted down any that caught my eye. Some were cute, some were strong, some were just plain weird. Here's a few I actually liked:
- Maverick
- Moose
- Mochi
- Mabel
- Magnolia
I showed the list to my roommate, and we debated for a while. "Maverick" is cool, but maybe a bit too... intense? "Mochi" is adorable, but does it fit a big, goofy Golden Retriever? These are the important questions, people!
Narrowing it Down
After a solid hour of deliberation, I managed to narrow it down to my top three:
- Milo: Classic, friendly, and just rolls off the tongue.
- Murphy: A bit more unique, but still has that approachable vibe.
- Moose: Because, let's be honest, it's just funny.
Now comes the hard part: actually choosing! I guess I'll have to meet the little guy first and see which name truly fits his personality. Wish me luck!
