How much fun would it be to give your dog a cool gangster name? Sure, we’re glorifying bad people, but there’s a certain romance to the big gangsters from decades ago. Your dog will undoubtedly have a unique name with a story behind it! This list includes names of well-known gangsters and fictional characters. There’s also a section of “gangsta” names from prominent rap and hip-hop artists if that’s your thing. Naming your dog can be challenging, depending on how picky you are. Still, there are a few methods that can help you give your dog a name. To start, consider their appearance. For example, Silver Dollar Sam is the nickname of the mobster Silvestro Carollo, which could make a great name for your pup that has a white or silvery coat. Your tiny Chihuahua could be Big Tuna, which is from the mobster Tony “Big Tuna” Accardo, or your giant breed could be Peanuts, the nickname of gangster John Tronolone. If you end up thinking a gangster name might not be quite right for your dog, just start brainstorming your favorite things, including bands, musicians, or characters from your favorite movies, books, TV shows, and video games. Even food and drink can make interesting names. So, use your imagination! Let’s start with real-life male gangsters. We included both first and last names and any nicknames that they had (gangsters loved nicknames!). Just consider that calling your dog Al may not have the same impact as calling them Capone or Al Capone. While there were more male gangsters, the women had their fair share. Here, we list their entire name and any nicknames that they might have had. There are quite a few movies and TV shows that feature gangsters and mobsters. We gathered a few of the more popular characters here. Many fictional female characters are molls, or girlfriends, to the gangsters, so most of the women on this list aren’t gangsters themselves, but they are just as tough. Here are potential names that are all associated in some way with gangsters and mobs. These are just a few names that have an image that goes with a subgenre of hip-hop, which is gangsta rap. Most of these rappers were the pioneers of gangsta rap. You’ve checked out the options for giving your dog a gangster name, and if you’ve narrowed down the choices to a few, you should try speaking the names out loud. It’s a great way to hear how they sound. If a name sounds awkward or weird, try another one! You can also think about adding a title to your dog’s name. Most of these aren’t mob or gangster related, but they do add a certain something to your dog’s name. Also, you can’t go wrong with “Don,” like in Don Vito Corleone! There are quite several gangsters out there, as well as outlaws, which can all lead to great dog names. Now that you have an idea of what to look for, maybe you’ll find something on your own if none of the names here click with you. An online thesaurus can give you even more options to choose from. Regardless, we hope that we’ve at least inspired you and that the name that you choose will be as cool as your new dog! Featured Image Credit: Masarik, Shutterstock
