Heidi, Howard, Hank. Horacio, Henny or Hopscotch. Whether it’s for a boy or girl, dog names that start with H are the best choices for puppy naming because they are so varied!
It’s one of those letters that encompasses words with a broad range of ideas, thoughts and feelings.
Whether you’re in love with hardcore thrash metal, or would rather spend your days galavanting through flower gardens, there are H dog names that are exactly what you’re looking for.
The best H pet names are short, original, just a few syllables long, and don’t sound like any of your usual doggy instructions. And the letter H is so awesome partially because of the unique way we pronounce it, which keeps it clear to your puppy that it’s them you’re talking to.
