Introduction
Naming a pet is almost as hard as naming a child. Many new pet owners agonize for hours or days over the name they are going to give to their new furry friend. Since your dog's name is so much of their identity to you and those around you, it isn't surprising that you want the moniker to be perfect.
If you are in need of a little inspiration for your new dog's name, why not turn to a movie that you love? At Wag!, we love the movie Black Swan, so we have compiled a list of name options from the movie.
Black Swan Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture
Lady, from The Lady and the Tramp, is our first famous pooch with a Black Swan inspired name. In the film, Lady is the pet of Jim Dear and Darling. Released in 1955, the film centers around Lady, a Cocker Spaniel, and her love Tramp, a stray dog thought to be a Schnauzer mix. While Lady is prim and proper, Tramp tends to be a little wild and unruly. Lady meets Tramp after discovering that her owners are expecting a child, which explains why they have been treating her rather coldly, and she escapes while being watched by Aunt Sarah. Nearly everyone remembers the famous spaghetti eating scene from the film, but not everyone knows that there is a second film that was released in 2001 called Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure. While Lady is in the film, she has a smaller role, and the film focuses mainly on Scamp, one of her four puppies from the first film. Lady has also made small appearances in many other Disney films, including One Hundred and One Dalmatians and This is Your Life, Donald Duck. In the original film, Lady was voiced by Barbara Luddy. In later roles, Patricia Parris and Jodi Benson have taken on the voice of Lady. A 2019 live-action film is in the works for the story, and Lady is said to be voiced by Tessa Thompson in this version.
Our second famous pooch with a Black Swan inspired dog name is Genevieve, the mutt from the book and television show Madeline. In the television show, Genevieve is entered into a dog competition but is disqualified because she isn't a purebred, which obviously upsets Madeline. However, when Genevieve rescues the Mayor's dog, the judges change their minds. Genevieve is voiced by Stevie Vallance in the television series.
Black Swan Inspired Dog Name Considerations
Looking for a name for your pooch can be quite a daunting task. You can browse dozens of top dog name lists on the Internet, but it is unlikely that you will find a unique name. Instead of perusing a bunch of lists with the same names, try to find inspiration from other sources. If you are into books, movies, music, or television shows, you have an endless supply of inspiration.
When you find a source of inspiration, you can start to look at a more concentrated list of names that you are more likely to enjoy and love. When you start browsing names, you can consider your dog's personality and appearance and see if there is a name that just feels like it suits your pooch perfectly.
For lovers of the movie Black Swan, there are a lot of different names inspired by the film to choose from. The lists below showcase the best names inspired by the dark 2010 movie starring Natalie Portman, who played Nina, and Mila Kunis, who starred as Lily. To further honor the movie, tag your male pup with Gent or Rothbart.
At the end of the day, the most important thing is that you choose a name for your dog that you will love forever. We hope our list below helps you find the right name for your dog.
