It’s not rare for a dog owner, whether he or she has just had a new pup born into their family or is looking ahead at an aging pet who won’t be around much longer, to give them one of these old man names. These are some of our favorite for you if you want your canine pal to have quite the distinguished moniker.

There was never any doubt that Archie would make it onto our list! Plenty of famous dogs carry this name and there’s something undeniably adorable about naming someone after everyone’s favourite cartoon dad from Riverdale (or maybe we’re biased). Augie is another classic name that has been around for years and is still going strong.
“Archie:” The name of a famous cartoon character, Archie’s popularity as a boy’s name peaked in 1903 when it was given to more than 700 boys- not bad! “Augie:” Augie came into vogue during the Great Depression and its meaning means ‘wealthy protector’ so you can’t go wrong with giving your pup this moniker. “Oscar:”: It doesn’t get much more distinguished sounding than Oscar which sounds like perfect for an old man dog who likes his wine and martinis too. But it also seems fitting if they’re named after a famous actor like Oscar Isaac.
“Walter:” Walter has been around as a man’s name for centuries and is still going strong in North America- why not try it out for your pup? “Rufus:”: Rufus was popularized by Walt Disney’s chipmunks, but it actually dates all the way back to ancient Rome! The meaning of this moniker means ‘redhead’ which seems fitting if you have an orange or red pupper. “Bradley:” Bradley might be another oldie but goody that you should consider when naming your pooch after some vintage guy power. It makes us think of Bradley Cooper or Brad Pitt!
The next sentence would be:
“Bernard:” Bernard is a name that has been around since the Middle Ages and it means ‘brave bear.’ Doesn’t this sound like the perfect moniker for your furry friend who always comes up victorious? “Rufus”:” Rufus was popularized by Walt Disney’s chipmunks, but it actually dates all the way back to ancient Rome!” should follow after. The meaning of this moniker means ‘redhead’ which seems fitting if you have an orange or red pupper.” Refer to previous sentences in paragraph as well.
Bradley may refer to actor Bradley cooper or Brad Pitt. Should I include actors instead of just names with meanings?
Bernard means ‘brave bear’. Should I include a definition of what the name means in this sentence instead?
Rufus is popularized by Walt Disney’s chipmunks, but it actually dates all the way back to ancient Rome. This should be included at the end of that sentence after “but.” Rufus refers to red hair and was used as an insult for people with bright orange or red hair. Might want to add this information too since someone might not know what rufus means. Could also do more research on other names if they are worth including here based off meaning and popularity level like Peter which can mean rock or stone–interesting because he shares his name with one of Jesus’ disciples.
That’s all for now, will continue later.

Might consider adding in Albus Dumbledore here as well.. I think he would be popular and the name has a lot of different meanings behind it: From Latin alba (“white”) + dux (“leader”). It was first used by JK Rowling, author of Harry Potter books.” That last part isn’t true but if you really wanted him on the list then there you go.
