EnglishWhat Is Bow Wow Pet Names (bowwow.com.au)?
Updated
Bow Wow Pet Names is a free pet-naming reference site for dog and cat owners, organised as browsable name lists rather than a single name generator. It suits anyone who wants to shortlist names by sex, first letter, breed, or paired sets, and who would rather scan curated lists than answer a quiz. The site's own tagline is "Find a pet name with personality!" and its stated aim is to help you discover "the perfect name for your dog or cat."
What the site covers
The catalogue splits into three top-level sections, each with its own sub-structure:
| Section | What you can browse |
|---|---|
| Pet Names (general) | Perfect pet name picks, naming tips, popular names, male, female, unisex, paired names, and an A–Z index |
| Dog Names | Same sex and popularity filters, plus breed-specific lists and an A–Z index |
| Cat Names | Popular, male, female, unisex, paired names, breed-specific lists, and an A–Z index |
Breed pages are the most distinctive part. The dog side lists breeds such as Beagle, Blue Cattle, Boston Terrier, Boxer, Cavoodle, Chihuahua, Corgi, Dalmatian, Doberman, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Jack Russell Terrier, Kelpie, Labrador, Maltese, Pomeranian, Poodle, Shih Tzu and Siberian Husky. The cat side is narrower, covering Persian, Ragdoll, Siamese and Siberian.
How the browsing works
Every major section repeats the same three navigation patterns, so once you learn one you can use them all:
- By sex: male, female, or unisex lists, useful if you already know the pet's sex or want a gender-neutral name.
- By letter: an A–Z bar lets you jump straight to names starting with a chosen letter, for both general pet names and dog/cat names separately.
- By pairing: "paired pet names" are sets designed for two pets, handy if you are naming a bonded pair or littermates.
The site also has a "Pet Naming Tips" page for guidance before you commit, and a "Picked the perfect name?" prompt suggesting there is a next step once you have chosen.
The extra tool: Dog Age Calculator
Beyond names, the site hosts a Dog Age Calculator. This is a small utility for converting a dog's age into a human-equivalent figure. It is a side feature rather than the core offering, so treat the name lists as the main reason to visit.
When this site is a good fit — and when it isn't
Use it if you want to browse structured lists, compare options by breed or letter, or find a matching name for two pets. The breed-specific pages are especially useful if you want a name that fits a particular dog or cat type.
Look elsewhere if you want a single recommended name generated from a few preferences, or if you need detailed breed care information — the breed pages here are naming lists, not breed guides. The site does not publish pricing or account details, so nothing here confirms whether extras like saving favourites exist; assume list browsing only unless you see otherwise.
A practical approach: start with the breed or sex list to build a shortlist of five to ten names, check the "Pet Naming Tips" page for pitfalls (such as names that sound like commands), then use the paired-names section if you are naming more than one pet.
