Overview

What will you name your new Maltese puppy or dog? Choosing just the right name is one of your very first important decisions.

With a special breed like the Maltese, that is tiny, elegant, almost always pure white, and super friendly, you'll want to find a name that really matches both his or her appearance and personality.

In this section, we'll cover some helpful tips when naming your Maltese, and then see a huge list of the most popular names for the Maltese breed. 

Naming Tips

  • Sometimes, even if you think that you know just what you want to call your pup, you'll find that once you meet him/her, or start to learn about the pup's particular quirks, that a different name is in order. And that is okay. A puppy can have his/her name changed on the registration. And, puppies and even older dogs can quickly respond to a new name as long as it is used often.
  • You might want to give your Maltese more than one name. This can also be done on a dog's registration. And this can be a good option if you find two names that sounds good together, or if you cannot choose between your two favorites. 
  • If you have your Maltese's name already chosen before you bring your new puppy home, you can ask the breeder or person who is raising the newborn to use the name as much as possible. This can help give the pup a bit of a head start.
  • When choosing the perfect name, try to avoid any names that start with the same sound or syllable as other family members (both human and animal). This is because dog's typically only listen to the first syllable in a name, so if you had two dogs named Jayda and Jayden, they might both react when it is first spoken.
