Ballpark names for a fan's new pup
Name a dog after the game: ballpark names like Wrigley, Fenway and Camden, pitches like Slider and Eephus, hits like Dinger and Moonshot, gear like Mitt and Fungo, snack names like Peanut and Pretzel, and fetch jokes like Fetch Hitter and Designated Sitter.
About baseball dog names
Baseball hands a dog owner a ready-made vocabulary. The game's words are short and punchy, and most of them were slang to begin with: Bunt, Mitt, Tater, Clutch, Fungo. That suits a name you call across a yard, so most of the list is one word of one to three syllables.
The names come from every corner of the park. Ballparks and the streets around them give Wrigley, Fenway, Camden, Waveland and Lansdowne. Positions give Skipper, Shortstop and Southpaw. Pitches give Slider, Sinker, Eephus and Uncle Charlie, old clubhouse slang for a curveball. From the batter's box come Dinger, Moonshot and Frozen Rope, from the equipment bag Rawhide, Stitch and Pine Tar, and from the concession stand Peanut, Pretzel, Nacho and Churro. Club nicknames appear as plain words (Cubbie, Dodger, Astro), and Spanish and Japanese baseball add Pelota, Jonron and Koshien.
Names that suit a female dog run through the whole list, among them Ivy, Dottie, Pearl and Daisy, plus Peaches and Belle from the women's professional league of the 1940s. A small group is pure wordplay: Fetch Hitter, Designated Sitter, Seventh Inning Fetch. Two entries are real baseball terms: a Bat Dog retrieves bats at some minor league parks, and a Bird Dog is scouting slang for a tipster who spots prospects.
How to choose baseball dog names
- Call the name out the back door before you settle on it. Short names with a hard consonant, such as Bunt, Mitt, Clutch and Fungo, are easy for a dog to pick out. A long one needs a short form for daily use: Cooperstown becomes Cooper and Knickerbocker becomes Knick.
- Check the name against your commands. Kit can blur into sit, Kay into stay and Mound into down, so say the name and the cue one after the other and listen for a clash.
- Start with your own team. The ballpark, the street behind the bleachers or the fans' word for the club (Cubbie, Redbird, Bucco) says more about you than a general baseball word does.
- Match the name to the dog. A fast dog suits Wheels, Jets or Burner, a retriever that catches everything suits Ball Hawk, Snag or Web Gem, a big dog suits Moose, Thumper or Monster, and a small one suits Peanut, Bloop or Nubber.
- For two dogs, pick a pair that belongs together: Pitcher and Catcher, Slider and Sinker, Wrigley and Fenway, Mustard and Relish, or Peanut and Pretzel.
Frequently asked questions
What are good baseball names for a dog?
Ballpark names are an easy place to start: Wrigley, Fenway, Camden, Ebbets and Shea are all in the list. Game words work just as well, for example Slugger, Dinger, Rookie, Dugout, Rally, Slider and Ace. For something less expected, try Eephus, Fungo, Tater, Mudville or Can of Corn.
What are some funny baseball dog names?
The list has a group of fetch and bark jokes, including Fetch Hitter, Designated Sitter, Seventh Inning Fetch, Intentional Walkies, Hound Rule Double and Stolen Base. Plenty of real baseball terms are funny on a dog too: Pickle, Duck Snort, Worm Burner, Dogpile and Seeing-Eye. The jokes play on the game's own words, not on players' names.
What are baseball names for a female dog?
Ivy, for the outfield wall at Wrigley Field, is a good place to start. Others in the list are Dottie, Pearl, Daisy, Peaches, Belle, Tessie, Maple, Mercy, Shea, Addie and June. Park and street names such as Camden, Addison and Waveland suit a female dog as well.
Does the list include players' names?
Only a short group of first names and clubhouse nicknames from the game's past that already work as dog names, such as Babe, Yogi, Hank, Satchel, Duke, Moose and Goose. No entry is meant as a real player's surname or full name; the surnames you will find are the names of ballparks, the streets and landmarks around them, old clubs, and characters from a poem, a song and a film. The rest of the 1,000 names come from the game itself: its parks, positions, pitches, plays, gear and food.
