Introduction
Are you thinking about adopting a dog? While you are out and about making preparations for your newest family member, don't forget to start thinking about names for your beloved new pooch. With so many different options for names, knowing where to start can be a daunting task. At Wag!, we love to get dog name inspiration from various sources, including movies, televisions shows, and books.
One of the most popular new television series on NBC is The Good Place. In the series, there are many characters that you either love or love to hate. What better source of inspiration for your newest dog's name?
The Good Place Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture
Doug the Pug is our first The Good Place inspired pooch! While Doug was named long before the show ran, Donkey Doug's character gives us the perfect excuse to show off Doug the Pug. This cute Pug was born in May of 2012 and has a HUGE social media following. While your pooch may have a couple hundred followers, Doug the Pug has amassed over 6 million likes on Facebook, 2 million followers on Twitter, and 3.6 million followers on Instagram. Due to his popularity, Doug the Pug has been to movie premieres and was even featured in Katy Perry's "Swish Swish" music video. Doug is owned by Leslie Mosier, and he lives in Nashville, Tennessee. Doug and his owner have a book and a line of calendars as well as an apparel line. He has even appeared on Good Morning America.
Manny the Frenchie is our second famous dog with a name from The Good Place. Manny the Frenchie is a French Bulldog who was born in February 2011. Manny is from Chicago, and he is famous due to the fact that he has gained a large Internet following on social media accounts. Like Doug the Pug, Manny the Frenchie has quite the social media following. As of 2014, Manny has 20,000 followers on Twitter, 1.4 million likes on Facebook, and more than 900,000 followers on Instagram. He also has numerous online presences, including the Manny and Friends channel. Manny the Frenchie is owned by Amber Chavez and Jon Huang. He was named after boxer Manny Pacquiao. In addition to his social media presence, Manny the Frenchie is a canine model for Martha Stewart's line at PetSmart. He has even been on Steve Harvey's talk show. Manny the Frenchie was given the CW's World Dog Award for Most Pawpular and Influential Dog in 2016.
The Good Place Inspired Dog Name Considerations
It is no easy deed to name a dog. There are literally so many things that you will want to think about. It can be difficult to sort through the thousands of names that appear in lists across the Internet. At Wag!, we like to think about dog names a little differently. Instead of giving you a list of the most popular dog names, we like to provide a little inspiration from pop culture for you to think about.
If you enjoy the television show The Good Place, you might want to start taking inspiration from the show. While you think about your dog's personality and appearance, you might start to see similarities to characters in the show. Is your dog seemingly sweet until provoked? He might be a Michael. Is your dog incredibly jealous of the other people and animals in your life? Consider naming her Tahani! Is your pooch blonde and a little wild? Eleanor is the perfect name. With so many different personalities, you are sure to find a name in the show that will perfectly suit your newest family member. Look at our full list of The Good Place inspired dog names to help you choose the perfect name for your dog!
