When looking for German Shepherd names, it's completely understandable that you want to find and choose the absolute perfect name for your pet.
Especially for those without children, and even for those with kids of their own, this is a major step in you and your new family member's lives, so make sure you give it the time and attention that this decision deserves.
Whatever name you choose, you're going to say it about 30,000 times over your dog's lifespan.
That's a lot of times to repeat anything, so you want to make sure it's something that you like and that it's fairly easy to say.
In general, one or two syllable words are best, because they make it so you can quickly and sternly call your dog if needed.
Also, while GSD's are very smart and will likely recognize similar nicknames, being consistent with what you call them will help make your communication faster and more efficient.
Without stating the obvious choices for your GSD, like Rin Tin Tin, for example, let's have some fun and come up with some unique and original German Shepherd names.
What better place to look for GSD names than in their country of origin? Actual German human names are a great place to start, and they can make for a fun story to tell others if you know what each name means.
Here are a few popular German names, along with their meanings, so you can see if any of these fit your dog's appearance or personality:
Male German Shepherd names
Bruno means "brown-haired" so this might not make sense for white or black German shepherds, but would be perfect for a predominantly tan/brown color.
Karl means "a free man" so this would fit perfectly for a happy-go-lucky, free-spirited dog that doesn't seem to have a care in the world.
Kaiser means "leader" which fits a confident and large dog, while projecting power and authority.
Female German Shepherd names
Gretchen means "little pearl" which fits white German shepherds perfectly, especially a fawn or cream-colored variety.
Katrina means "pure" so this would be perfect for a pure-bred German Shepherd, allowing you to mention her pure bloodline every time you explain her name.
Brigitte means "strong spirited" which fits a hard-headed shepherd, who always wants to do her own thing.
These are just a few samples, and you can get hundreds, if not thousands, of other ideas by browsing through some German baby names books, since there isn't any better place to find some excellent and original German Shepherd names.
