So there you go, you’re soon welcoming an adorable dog and you’re looking for the perfect name that starts with E? Congratulations! But be careful, choosing a name for your pup is a bit like choosing a name for a baby: it’s a decision that will follow you for years. No way you want to mess it up and call your dog “Ernest” if you want him to exude a badass aura or “Ewok” if he looks more like an Afghan hound than a fluffball.
Take a breath, relax, I’m here to help you! In this article, we’re going to explore together the best dog names starting with E for a male or female, depending on their personality, breed, and your preferences.
Why a name starting with E for your dog in 2024?
Every year, the SCC (Société Centrale Canine) assigns a letter for the official names of purebred dogs. In 2024, it’s the letter E! If you adopt a dog registered with the LOF (Livre des Origines Français), his name must start with this letter. But even if your dog isn’t registered, it’s a great opportunity to choose a trendy name!
And let’s face it, names starting with E are stylish, right? Whether you want something elegant, funny, original, or inspired by pop culture, there’s something for everyone.
