Bonus: The Trendiest Dog Name of All

Toast

One of the earliest Instagram canine sensations, Toast was a King Charles Spaniel that had a caramel-colored coat. Sadly, Toast passed away in 2017 but is survived by her sisters, who are on Instagram too.

The story of Toast, a puppy mill rescue pup,  gained momentum and spread all over the social media platform, where the dog came to be recognized and loved for her unique name and unusual facial features, especially her hanging tongue. You could pay tribute to this lovely dog by giving your pup her trendy name.

Finding the Right Trendy Name for Your Dog

While the options for trendy dog names are in no way limited to this list, we hope you have found some unusual and surprisingly eye-catching dog names to add to your shortlist.

Just remember that regardless of what name you choose for your little pal, they will fall in love with it and wear it with pride.

If you're still having trouble making the final decision, take a peek at one of our many other dog name lists below:
