The Drummonds Have Loved So Many Dogs With the Cutest Names

There are people who like dogs, and then there are dog people—can you guess which camp the Drummonds land in? 😂 Ree and Ladd have a whole pack of pups on the ranch in Pawhuska, Alex has George the golden retriever, and Paige just adopted sweet Murphy! Mind you, Ree calls both George and Murphy her granddogs—and have you seen the photos of when Ree met Murph? Too cute!

Ree herself has a famous love of basset hounds: Walter, Fred, Charlie—and could those names get any cuter!? Actually, yes! The Drummonds come up with the sweetest, silliest nicknames all the time. For instance, Henry goes by “Henry the Great” or “Schlumpers” around the house. And Duke is affectionately called “Dukie.” And Rusty—well, Ree says he smells like Fritos so maybe that could stick as a nickname!

If you’re stuck on what to name your new puppy, Ree’s own little pack can certainly serve as inspiration. You’ll also find plenty of other suggestions on this list. They include classic names that never get old (including some of the most popular names according to the American Kennel Club), as well as creative ones inspired by pop culture characters. Plus, find names based on food, sports, and more!
