Looking for Dog Names Starting with M? Check Out This Awesome List!

Okay, so I needed a name for my new puppy, a fluffy little guy with tons of energy. I decided to go with a name that starts with "M" because, well, I just like the sound of it. So, I started my quest, my journey, if you will, into the world of "M" names.

Brainstorming and Googling

First, I grabbed a pen and paper – old school, I know – and just started jotting down any "M" name that popped into my head. "Max," "Milo," "Murphy"... the usual suspects. But nothing really clicked. They were all fine, but not the one, you know?

So, I turned to the internet. I googled "dog names that start with M" and, oh boy, the lists! So. Many. Lists. I scrolled through a bunch of them, reading out names, trying to picture my little furball answering to them.

Narrowing it Down

I found some interesting ones, like "Maverick" (too cool for my clumsy pup?), "Merlin" (maybe if he was a wizard?), and "Moose" (he's definitely not that big!). I made a shortlist, writing down about ten names that had potential.

• Milo
• Max
• Murphy
• Mickey
• Monty
• Marley
• Mason
• Morris
• Mochi
• Mac

The "Say It Out Loud" Test

This is crucial, folks. You gotta say the names out loud, multiple times, like you're calling your dog in the park. Some names sound great on paper but feel weird when you yell them. Trust me on this. So, I stood in my living room, yelling out "Milo! Come here, boy!" and "Murphy! Drop it!" (He's still learning...).

The Final Decision

After all that, I finally settled on "Mochi." It's cute, it's kinda quirky, and it suits his playful personality. Plus, it sounds adorable when I call him. It was not on the original list I found, but the process brought up the right name!

So yeah, that's my little adventure in dog-name land. Not exactly rocket science, but hey, choosing a name is a big deal!

Good luck name hunting for all new pet parents!
