Naming your Doxie can be as difficult as it is important, so, here’s our list of over 150 funny wiener dog names for your amazing dachshund pup. Naturally, there are hundreds and thousands of other options you can go for but these should give you a nice headstart on the whole brainstorming process. And, while we are focusing on funny weiner dog names here, there are countless of other, more serious names you can go for. We just like goofing around with our goofy little Doxies.
What Makes The Best Funny Wiener Dog Names As Funny As They Are?
There are many ways you can approach your Doxie’s name and none of them are “right” or “wrong”. For a lot of people, it’s hilarious to name their stumpy dachshund after tall and sexy actors and actresses, for example. Names after historical royalty can also be hilarious for the short and cute dachshund pups. If we’re to try to account for all such ideas this article would have to be endless.
The logical conclusion is that what makes wiener dog names funny is personal. The best names usually refer to something in your personal life or a shared experience between you and your partner and other family members.
Whatever the case, we thought we’d still give you a few ideas that will either grab you or at least give you some concept of the endless possibilities for naming your Doxie. Naturally, a lot of those ideas refer to the dachshund’s hilarious body shape and small size. Fortunately, our little pals can’t be body shamed and don’t really care what we call them so we can just have a bit of harmless fun naming them.
