We went through this process when we brought our new vizsla puppy home. There were so many good vizsla puppy names and our list grew to over 30 options!

Whether you are searching for Hungarian names for dogs, popular vizsla names, cool Hungarian dog names or original names for vizslas, we are confident you will find some good dog names for vizslas in our list.

How to choose vizsla dog names

You want your puppy’s name to reflect their personality, stand the test of time as they get older and be easy to say and understand.

Here are some basic tips to consider when choosing good vizsla names.

1. Choose short names

Ideally look at Hungarian vizsla dog names that are one or two syllables long.

Quick and simple to say, easy for your dog to hear, short names tend to be better than long ones for many reasons.

2. Reduce confusion

Have you ever got confused when multiple people in the room have a similar sounding name? I do all the time!

For that reason, I recommend you choose a name that starts with a different letter of the alphabet to others in your household and doesn’t have a similar sound either.

3. Like the short and long version

Think about both the long and shortened versions of the name – you really want to love both of the variations.

We loved the name Billie for our girl, but didn’t like the shortened version, Bill.

4. Not too similar to instructions

Don’t choose a name that sounds the same as common instructions like no, yes, sit or come. It will just confuse your pup!

If you have other pets, it is better to select a name that sounds very different so they don’t get confused when you call.
