Nothing is written in stone when it comes to choosing male puppy names, but it might be useful to bear in mind the following:
Try to match your puppy's name to his personality or breed, and don't be tempted to give him too 'girlie' a name simply because he's a cute little puppy. Choose a name that sounds a little more macho, for example, Hannibal, Butch, Solomon, or Tiger.
If your puppy has any particular traits or characteristics, why not use those traits for your inspiration? If he loves to dig, why not name him Digger? If he's constantly bounding about, what about Tigger? You get the picture!
Whatever name you choose from the plethora of boy dog names, it should suit your dog's personality as much as possible.
You could also use your dog's coat colour and texture for inspiration; for example, if your puppy is golden in colour, why not name him Sandy, Ginger, or Goldie?
Keep your puppy's name short and snappy - one or two syllables is about right. Keeping his name to two syllables will make it easier for you when training your puppy, and it will be easier to call him to you. Your puppy will also learn his name much quicker if it's short.
