Gods names for male dogs

Here are some names of gods for your dog. Although some of them are a little long, keep in mind that you can always shorten them by creating a familiar nickname for the day to day. Remember that many gods are the same in Greek and Roman mythology, even if they change names, so you can choose the name you like best:

Zeus: the main god of Olympus. This name goes great with both large and small dogs. It’s short and has good sonority. In Roman mythology, Zeus would be Jupiter. In the Egyptian mythology, this creator god or supervisor of the universe is Amon.

Ares: is the Greek war god and Aphrodite’s lover. The Roman equivalent of Ares is Mars, also a great name for dogs.
Dionisio: is the god of fertility and wine. You can also call your dog with its Roman equivalent which is Bacchus.
Hermes: in Greek mythology he is the messenger god and the god of travellers. The equivalent in Roman mythology was Mercury.
Apolo: he was a god of extremes. The god of death was considered equal to the god of healing. Therefore, if your dog is sometimes affectionate, but a junk too, this name can go great.
Poseidón: the Greek god of the seas, is Neptune in Roman mythology. Your dog is small and you want a funny and original name? Imagine calling him Poseidon!
Hefesto: is the Greek god of fire and craftsmen. The Roman equivalent is Vulcan. If your puppy has a reddish fur color, this name can go very well. It’s true that Hephaestus had a reputation for being very ugly, so think if you want your dog to be related with him.
Odín: the most important god of Nordic mythology. God of war, wisdom, poetry or death.
Thor:Thor is also the god of strength and storms in Nordic mythology, although it may sound familiar from the film character.
