Having trouble finding the right Greyhound or Lurcher names ?

Here are some of the most popular ones around.

The list varies from those based on first names or surnames of people, to the eccentric. Such as the American racing Greyhound called “Arson Fire”.

I bet the race commentators really loved it when he was up at the front.

Chose a Personal Lurcher Name

Many people will use a first name such as Ged or Jake especially if this has some personal connection.

Along the same lines surnames may be used like Jones or even my own dog Johnson.

Other names come from physical descriptions such as Jet for a black dog or it could also be one of the many names concerned with speed. My favorite among these is Veyron which is the fastest road car made by Bugatti.

Oh! and don’t forget film and cartoon characters.

When I adopted my dog he was known as scrappy. I assume from Scrappy-doo the cartoon character in Scooby-doo but I felt that whilst it was a great name for a puppy It would possibly not suit him as an adult so it was changed.

This is something to consider.

Your cheeky little pup will grow up to be a dog.

Still it’s up to you.
