Our guide to the best gothic dog names
Gothic culture has had a profound impact on art, music, fashion and architecture for decades, and has gone through multiple revivals. It represents the darker aspects of life, focusing boldly on magic, terror and gloom.
While these aren’t traits we commonly associate with dogs, giving your dog a gothic name shows a powerful, non-conformist personality, and also gives your pup a touch of humorous irony. You already know if you’re a fan of gothic culture, or consider yourself to be a goth – and if that’s the case, you’ll be naturally drawn to some of these unconventional but striking gothic dog names.
For females, Zelda is a lovable choice for all kinds of reasons. Not only does it inspire thoughts of the famous Nintendo princess, but it also comes from the feminine name Griselda, which may originally have meant "dark battle”. This name isn’t limited to black dogs either.
For dogs on the smaller side, we think Pixie is adorably cute while paying homage to gothic magic. And for something less common, we love Selene. This refers to the Greek goddess of the moon, so it’s as dark or glittering as you want it to be.
