Skip To

There’s no denying it—white dogs are absolutely adorable. Whether they are big and fluffy, small and scrappy, or have that majestic, wizard-like look, white dog breeds make for amazing pets. 

But choosing the perfect white dog name can prove to be a challenge. Do you go for cute or tough? Classic or completely unique? Or do you go for a moniker that plays up your dog’s fluffy fur?  (Speaking of which, to keep that snow-white fur looking pristine, these grooming wipes are a must for banishing tear stains and grime on white doggos! Just make sure not to get the product in your pup’s peepers!)

Regardless of the direction you choose, there are tons of great names for white dogs to choose from. And we’re here to help you narrow down the best name for your unpigmented pup. 

Best White Dog Names

  • Pearl
  • Casper
  • Ghost
  • Linen
  • Blizzard
  • Marshmallow
  • Fluff
  • Powder
  • Lily
  • Dove
  • Bubbles
  • Cheesecake
  • Quartz
  • Glacier
  • Yuki

While we definitely love all the dog names on this list, these are a few of our favorite white dog names to kick things off with a bang! 

Powder: We like the name Powder for a fluffy white dog who loves the winter weather—like an American Eskimo or an all-white Husky. It conjures up the coolness of fresh-fallen snow and winter activities outside. Plus, it can be a good fit for a male or female dog who is active and athletic. 

Linen: We love the softness and structure of linen fabric. There’s something fresh and lovely about linen garments hanging on a clothing line. And it’s a great white dog name for a sophisticated pup with a great sense of style. Again, this is a great gender-neutral name that evokes a summery feeling all year long. 

Casper: He’s our favorite friendly ghost, but this is also the perfect name for an all-white pup. We like this option for an affectionate and playful male dog who has a young, energetic spirit.

Dove: Dove is another good gender-neutral name for white dogs. It’s elegant, with a little bit of a cool factor. You can’t go wrong!  

Fluff: If your white dog happens to have a puffy, fluffy coat, then this name—inspired by Marshmallow Fluff—is a great option. It’s short, sweet, and pretty dang adorable. 

White Female Dog Names

If you have a sweet female white dog, one of these white dog names for girl dogs may be the perfect option. 

Bianca: This name means “white” in Italian. It’s classic and cool—ideal for girl pups who have a little bit of sass and swagger. 

Lily: Inspired by white lilies, this name pays homage to the color of the popular spring flower without being too obvious that it’s a color reference. It’s a sweet, simple name for a white girl dog. 

Pearl: The milky white color of authentic pearls is something to behold. And this is a really fitting name for a female dog who happens to love the beach or the ocean. So cute!  

Daisy: Another classic, white floral-inspired name, Daisy is a great option for sweet and dainty white pups. Plus, it has a bit of a 1920s flare, thanks to “The Great Gatsby.” 

Lacey: The intricate workings of lace inspire this pretty white female dog name. It feels modern and current, but still has a vintage flair. 

More White Female Dog Names

White Male Dog Names

If you have a snow-colored dog who happens to be a boy, these white male dog names provide the perfect mix of masculinity and lovability. 

Fog: This name conjures up a cool, misty morning and we think it’s perfect for a white male dog who loves the outdoors and nature. 

Dwight: While this name was definitely made popular by “The Office,” it comes from German origin and means “blonde” or “white.” 

Flash: If your white dog happens to be speedy, we think Flash is the ideal moniker. It evokes that bright, white light from a photo finish or a blur of fur running through the yard. 

Finn: This is a popular boy name for humans, but it’s also a great name for white dogs. Finn is Irish and it means “white” or “fair.” It’s a good subtle nod to your dog’s coat color. 

Walker: Okay, this one is a fun, pop-culture reference to “Game of Thrones,” and the terrifying White Walkers that roamed The North. This is a cool shortened name that is perfect for any GOT fans.

Cute White Dog Names

Marshmallow: Everyone’s favorite campfire treat, this is a great option for an adorable white pup. It’s sweet and sugary—everything we want in a cute dog name. 

Coconut: Another food name for the win! We love this tropical, fruit-inspired option for a cute white dog. It sounds playful and fun. 

Sheep: It’s always a little bit tongue and cheek to give your pet a name inspired by another animal. We think sheep is an adorable option for a curly-coated white dog who is maybe a tiny bit shy. 

Puff: This is just one of the cutest white dog names you can choose. It’s reminiscent of a powder puff or a puff of snow. It’s short and simple, but immediately brings to mind a small, fluffy pup. 

Popcorn: Another food-inspired name, this is a great white dog name for dogs that like to jump or “pop” into the air during a game of frisbee or fetch. It’s also a cute option for families that love movie night!

Fleece: Fleece is a type of wool that is the fluffy coat covering of animals like sheep. It’s incredibly warm and thick. We love the idea of naming a fluffy dog Fleece—it seems quite fitting. 

Cloud: There’s nothing more fluffy, puffy, and soft than a cloud. And it’s an ideal name for a white dog with a long, soft coat. 

Meringue: If baking is your thing, then you know how thick and fluffy meringue is. Plus, it’s a dog name that you don’t hear every day. We think it’s a winner!

Blizzard: If your dog’s coat is white as far as the eye can see, then Blizzard is a great option. This is a playful name for a white dog who happens to shed a lot and shakes out a lot of fur during grooming sessions.
