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 male dogs, we love the simplicity and natural touch of the name Thorn. As much as we adore our furry friends, they can often be a thorn in our side, especially as puppies – and what better way to make fun of that than with this spiky dog name!
Another gorgeous name for boys is Onyx. This refers to the black gemstone, which already represents rarity and beauty, and we simply love the way it sounds. It would be a great option for black Labs and Border Collies, among other dark-coloured breeds. If you’re into pop culture, Dexter also ticks all the boxes. The popular television series is full of gothic symbols, like blood, torture chambers and mysterious disappearances.
