About beagle names

A beagle is a small scent hound, bred to follow rabbits and hares by nose while the hunters kept up on foot, and most beagle names come from three things that job left it with. The first is the nose: Snuffles, Sniffari, Noseworthy, Common Scents and Trufflehound. The second is the voice, a bay that carries across a field, which gives you Aroo, Bayley, Foghorn, Yodel and Town Crier. The third is the pair of long, soft ears: Flapjack, Velveteen, Windsock and All Ears.

Then there is the appetite. Owners joke that a beagle is a stomach on legs, so a large share of the list is food and mealtimes, from Bagel, Biscuit and Kielbasa to Second Breakfast, Counter Surfer and Bottomless Pit. Coat names cover the classic tricolor (Houndstooth, Neapolitan, Patchwork), the white tail tip (Whitetip, White Flag) and the pale lemon and white beagle (Lemon Drop, Limoncello, Buttermilk).

The British breed standard describes the beagle as a merry hound, so there are cheerful and mischievous names such as Jolly, Shenanigans and Houdini. Smaller sections hold trail names, a handful of fictional detectives for a dog that investigates everything, and a few famous beagles, each used here as a single pet name.

How to choose beagle names

Try the name at the volume you will really use. A beagle with its nose down may not be listening, so pick something short and sharp for every day, such as Aroo, Pogo, Bagel or Zest, and keep Second Breakfast for the collar tag.
Match the coat. Houndstooth, Spumoni and Rocky Road suit a tricolor, while Lemon Curd, Chamomile and Cornsilk suit a lemon and white beagle.
Say the name next to the cues you plan to teach. Skip can blur into sit and Seeker into speak the first few times a puppy hears them.
For a pair of beagles, choose names that belong together without rhyming: Sherlock and Watson, Bagel and Schmear, Him and Her, or Lemon and Zest.
Wait a few days if you can. A beagle often names itself by what it does first at home, which is how dogs end up called Sock Thief, Couch Hog or Pantry Raider.

Frequently asked questions

What are good names for a tricolor or lemon beagle?

For the black, tan and white tricolor, try pattern and three-part names such as Houndstooth, Patchwork, Neapolitan, Trio and Triple Scoop. For a lemon and white beagle, look at Lemon Drop, Limoncello, Meringue, Buttermilk and Chamomile. Whitetip, White Flag and Tail Light refer to the white tip that most beagles carry on the tail.

Which famous beagles are in the list?

A few, each as a single pet name: Snoopy from the comic strip Peanuts, Shiloh from the novel of the same name, Porthos, the captain's dog in Star Trek: Enterprise, and the cartoon genius Mr. Peabody. Uno is there for the first beagle to win Best in Show at the Westminster dog show, in 2008, and Him and Her were the beagles of President Lyndon Johnson.

Why are there so many food names for beagles?

Beagles are scent hounds with a keen interest in food, and owners like to name them after what they beg for. The list runs from snacks such as Bagel, Pastrami, Garlic Knot and Kettle Corn to mealtime jokes like Dinner Bell, Leftovers and Hollow Leg. Food names also tend to be short and easy to call.

Are there male and female beagle names here?

Most of the list is neutral, because jokes about noses, ears and snacks fit any dog. If you want a name that reads as male or female, look at Sherlock, Ralph, Howie and Sir Snuffleton, or at Penelope, Pippa, Diva and Lady Sniffsalot.
