Dog Names that Start with "Am" in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog with a Name that Starts with "Am"

Ambrosius

Our spotlight dog comes from the mysterious and somewhat odd world of The Labyrinth, a 1986 fantasy film. Ambrosius is an Old English Sheepdog who has been tasked with being the steed for another critter by the name of Didymus. While there is some debate on what animal Didymus may be, as he is portrayed with a puppet, there is no doubt that Ambrosius is the gentle and intelligent Old English Sheepdog breed. In the film, we see that although Ambrosius tends to have more sense than his master, he is not quite as brave. When the main character, Sarah, comes to try and cross the bridge that Didymus and Ambrosius guard, it is Didymus who attempts to fight her and her companions; while the cowardly Sheepdog decided to hide behind any object he possibly could, as was his normal procedure. Although it is rather odd that one animal, presumably a Terrier or possibly a fox, would ride another animal, there is no doubt that Ambrosius brings an adorable factor to the movie Labyrinth.

Another "Am" dog that deserves the spotlight goes by the name of "Amber". This sweet ginger colored Labrador and Golden Retriever was featured in an article on Daily Mail in 2014. At the time of the article, Amber had been assigned to a 57 year old woman by the name of Helen Bree, and as a companion dog her task was to be a faithful and loving, as well as a caregiver for Helen. Being born with cerebral palsy, Helen already had complications that she had to work around, but just two years before Helen received Amber, she was diagnosed with MS as well, forcing her to quit her job and lose much of the independence that she had enjoyed for so many years. As can be imagined, this was devastating for Helen, and if it weren't for Amber's help, she wouldn't know what to do. The lovely dog helps with chores around the house such as laundry, handing Helen her clothes in the morning, taking off her shoes and socks at night, even lifting her master's legs into bed with her nose! Even though training was hard work for them both, there is no doubt that Amber is well worth it for Helen and the pair are extremely happy together. It is amazing what dogs can do for those who truly need their love and help.

Dog Name that Starts with "Am" Considerations

Names that begin with "Am" can be found within many different places and cultures. Whether your dog breed is African, Greek, American, or more in origin, there is no doubt that you can find a name within this list that represents them extremely well. As for appearance, any name from the "Am" options can work well with various markings. For instance, the color "Amber" could be perfect for a dark red or orange dog, perhaps even one that has lighter brown fur. It doesn't even have to be the entire fur, patches or perhaps the eyes being an Amber color could be excellent candidates for choosing this name. For those dogs that have extremely unique coat patterns, such as the Border Collie and Australian Shepherd breeds for example (with merle coats), a name like "Amethyst" could work perfectly; as it is a beautiful gem with a striking appearance. Personality can also play a part, if not an even bigger part than coloring does, when it comes to choosing an "Am" name. An example would be if you had a French Bulldog that was very sweet and loving. A great female name can be "Amora" (or "Amore" for a male) which means "love" in French.
