Introduction
Oh Berlin, the lovely, rainy, artsy, bohemian, contradictory city. The capital of Germany, one of the economically strongest countries in Europe (and perhaps the world) has never been more accessible, more inviting, and more interesting to visit than it is today. In Berlin, you can find such oddities, such contrasts, and a lot of history to soak up, so, if you have just got back from this lovely city, or if you are planning to go there, it is no wonder that it inspired you to name your doggo in the spirit of this wonderful metropole.
Berlin Dog Names in Pop Culture
When you think of Berlin, the first things that come to mind are art, sausages, beer, and a bunch of Karls walking around with their dogs. Well, not only humans can be Karls, dogs can too! One such Karl is an adorable Boxer who is special in more ways than one. First off, Karl is deaf, which can be quite unfortunate, however, his deafness helped him land a very noble job – giving courage to children who have to testify in court! Since he cannot hear, he is not bothered by often loud and disturbing noises that can be heard in the courtroom. His job is to walk the poor kiddos to the stand and encourage them to stay composed until their testimony is over. The doggo represents his German name with nobility and he should be an example to us all to be more kind, more understanding, and more encouraging to the youngest members of our communities.
The wonderful thing about Berlin is that Germans seem to have quite a conscious approach when it comes to dog ownership (or better said, friendship). Wherever you go, you will see a doggo. But that doggo will not be tightly held by their owner and forced to stay by their feet, no. The doggo will be on a loose leash or even without a leash at all, chilling and doing their thing while their owners go about their business, whether it’s running errands or simply enjoying a cup of coffee or a cold beer in the café. Each dog-friendly bar (and there are a lot of them in Berlin) will offer your dog a bowl of water and some snacks to munch on while you relax. No one rolls their eyes when a dog comes to sniff them out and say hello, and everyone treats dogs with utmost respect and love. This is quite impressive given that over 100,000 dogs were officially registered in this city!
Just to show how big dog culture is in Berlin, now you can actually find dates through your four-legged friend. If you are looking to meet someone new to accompany you on your daily walks, you can use a new platform called Twindog. Similar to Tinder, the app requires you to upload photographs of your lovely pupper and start swiping! When you get a match, you can meet up with the doggo and their human and who knows, maybe the sparks will fly and you will realize that finding love is pawsible after all! Not only that, but your dog can also fall in love and finally settle down with a nice pupper who will treat them with kindness and respect!
Berlin Dog Name Considerations
When thinking about a perfect name for your pup, going to Berlin for inspiration is definitely a solid choice. Especially if your doggo is an adorable Dachshund or a German Shepherd, you can honor their European roots by giving them a proper name. Therefore, names such as Dieter, Andreas, or Helmut can be perfect! For the lovely puppy princess, names like Annika, Elke, Ingrid, or Ute can be show stoppers in your local dog park!
Of course, using toponyms and geographical names is also a great way to spice up your life, so think about some of Berlin’s many vibrant neighborhoods, museums, cultural spots, and funky cafes when coming up with a unique name for your dog. One good example is the Grunewald forest, which can translate to a perfectly funky name for a dog as well, especially if your pup is a fan of long walks in nature! And if you are looking for a name with good vibes that reminds one of long nights in Berlin with jazz playing in the background, you can pick the name Chez Jacki, after one of the famous bars of this vibrant city.
