Top 100 Star Wars Dog Names

by Jill Flores · June 21, 2019

If there were just two things I love most, it would be dogs, and Star Wars (in that order). So it’s always a joy when the two meet. Whether it’s a clever pun on a name, a reference to a beloved character, or a dig at your pup’s villainous tendencies, it’s hard to go wrong with these Star Wars dog names.

Jedi Dog Names (The Good Guys)

Han Solo. - The rogue of the skies, pilot of the Millenium Falcon, and Princess Leia’s love. Hard to beat that.
Chewbacca. - Wookiee, Han Solo’s right hand man, big, hairy, and ready to fight – you know the guy.
Chewbarka. - See above.
Yoda. Small but powerful.
Poe. Some might think “Edgar Allen” or even Teletubbies, but Poe Dameron is the ultimate Poe.
Paw Dameron.. See above, just punnier.
Wicket. if your dog is a little teddy bear, there’s no name more fitting than that of the ferocious-yet-adorable Ewok who first encountered Princess Leia.
Logray. If your ferocious teddy bear is more of a bossy type, Logray might be a more fitting name.
Obi-Wan. One of the wisest Jedi Masters, and close friend to Luke.
Kenobi. See above.

Wedge. Wedge Antilles was one of the unsung heroes of the original trilogy, flying alongside Luke at Hoth and taking down the Death Star.
Antilles. See above.
Porkins. although Porkins isn’t a huge character (just an X-Wing pilot), his name is perfect for a chubby pup.
Qui-Gon-. One of the most well-respected Jedi, and mentor to Anakin.
Jinn. See above.
Anakin. Before his fall, he was really the cutest kid.
Skywalker. Of Luke and Anakin, you won’t find a dog name more classic than “Skywalker”.
Skybarker. See above.
Finn. A stormtrooper turned rebel, and an ever-loyal friend.
Paodok’Draba’Takat Sap’De’Rekti Nik’Linke’Ti’ Ki’Vef’Nik’NeSevef’Li’Kek. but you can call him Pao.
Long Snout. An apt name for the imperial spy, Long Snout also suits pups quite nicely.
Zavor/Garindan Ezz Zavor. The real name of Long Snout.
Lobot. Lando’s head of security, strong and silent type, part cyborg…the usual.
Kit Fisto. Definitely one of the most underrated Jedi.
Dak Ralter. a solid name, a solid guy. Too bad Luke’s wingman didn’t live long.
Mace Windu. If you’re not ready to just go all out and name your dog “Samuel L. Jackson”, Mace Windu will have to do.
Admiral Ackbar. A true hero, Ackbar acted as commander in the Battle of Endor.
Bail. Princess Leia’s father, Bail Organa.
Wes. Wes Janson was also an X-Wing Pilot, and a bit of a daredevil.
Cassian. Cassian Andor is a primary figure in the Rebel Alliance.
Andor. See above.

The Dark Side & Sith Dog Names

Vader. The Big Bad of the original three, Vader makes a perfect dog name for a pup with a bit of the dark side in him.
Kylo. The primary villain of the most recent trilogy.
Ren. See above.
Count Dooku. Formerly a Jedi, Count Dooku became one of the most powerful forces of the dark side.
Sidious (Sid). Darth Sidious, or Sid for short, was responsible for the destruction of the Jedi order.
Palpatine. Senator Palpatine and Darth Sidious were two sides of the same person – but both pretty evil.
Darth Maul. Darth Maul was by far the most interesting Sith Lord.
Snoke. If “Supreme Leader” is a bit much for a dog name, Snoke might fit the bill.
Darth Karnage. Not a particularly important character, but Darth Karnage has one of the coolest names in the franchise.
Darth Bane. It’s hard to go wrong with dark Sith names.
Darth Ramage. See above.

Star Wars Villains Dog Names

Boba the Fett. The Bounty Hunter that very nearly beat Han Solo.
Boba the Fetch. See above.
Admiral Piett. one of the few to survive service to Darth Vader, Piett must have done something right.
Conan Antonio Motti. his lack of faith was disturbing, indeed.
Jabba/Jabba the Hut. Gross as he is, you can’t deny that Jabba is an iconic character.
Jabba the Mutt. See above.
Ponda Baba. another murderous criminal, Ponda Baba is best suited to a more…aggressive dog.

Star Wars Neutral Character Dog Names

Lando. Love him? Hate him? Hard to say, but you can’t deny that Lando has the best style in the franchise.
Jar Jar. Honestly, I don’t get the hate. Jar Jar Binks deserves better.
Binks. See above.
Hammerhead. though ultimately just another face (?) in the Cantina, Hammerhead’s is particularly hard to forget.
Salacious B. Crumb. disturbing though he is, it’s hard to beat Jabba’s jester when it comes to names.
Nien Nunb. can you go wrong with that name? Lando’s co-pilot might not be traditionally cute, but he’s pretty cool overall.
Max Rebo. he was a weird little keyboard-playing blue dude, but we like our weirdos.
Greedo. slow on the draw, Greedo never did get the best of Han Solo – but he was still a cool dude.

Star Wars Female Dog Names

Princess Leia. Truly the hero of the entire franchise, Leia saved her friends, family, and several worlds countless times.
Padme. Padme Amadala, you deserved better. Queen and Senator of Naboo, love of Anakin.
Amadala. See above.
Rey. Originally a Jakku scavenger, Rey ultimately finds herself a hero amongst the Resistance.
Saw Gerrera. battered, war-hardened, scarred…Saw it one tough cookie.
Jyn. Jyn Erso was the hero of the Rogue One mission, setting up the events of A New Hope.
Erso. See above.
Maz Kanata. ancient, wise, a bit confusing…we all know dogs like that.
Phasma. beyond leading countless stormtroopers for the forces of evil, Phasma has a really dope name.
Rose. A key member of the resistance, with a lovely name.
Tico. If “Rose” is too pretty a name for you, you can always call your dog “Tico”.
Paige Tico. Rose’s sister, Paige, doesn’t get as much screentime – but that doesn’t make her any less important.
Amilyn Holdo. Specifically, Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo, if you want your regal girl to have her full name.
Yaddle. Appearing only in The Phantom Menace, Yaddle is a female of Yoda’s species.
Kabe. Kabe also doesn’t get a lot of screentime, but she makes an appearance at Chalmun’s Cantina, and really wants her blue milk.
Beru. We didn’t get to see enough of Aunt Beru, but her kindness and love give Luke a strong start to life.

Star Wars Droid Dog Names

BB-8. One of the cutest droids around, BB-8 is a loyal companion. And you can call him or her Bee, for short.
R2D2. Perhaps the most beloved droid of all time, R2D2 is a name that brings joy.
C-3PO. Although he can be irritating, we all love C-3PO’s bluntness and sass, and his friendship with R2D2 is one of the purest things in the franchise.
E-3PO. a sadly brief character, E-3PO has plenty of sass to earn a place in our hearts.
EV-9D9. I’m not sure you really want to call your dog EV-9D9, but Evie for short would work. The sadistic torture robot isn’t exactly one of the good guys, but she/he/it has a compelling backstory.
GNK/GONK. The GNK or gonk droids aren’t all that interesting themselves, but Gonk makes a great name for an especially derpy pup.

Star Wars Location Dog Names

Dagobah. If you can name your kids Paris, Brooklyn, or London, you can definitely name your dog Dagobah.
Falcon. Short for Millenium Falcon, this name should be reserved for the fastest dogs in the galaxy.
Endor. Home of the Ewok, and a hidden rebel base.
Tataooine. Not the greatest place all around, but Tatooine serves an important role in the Star Wars story.
Eisley. home of Chalmun’s Cantina, you won’t find a scummier place than Eisley.
Hoth. The ice planet, home of the rebels in The Empire Strikes Back, and all around great pet name.
Yavin. Yavin 4 is the jungle-y moon that houses the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Star. Yes, “Star” is maybe a more generic name than most on this list, but when you tell everyone your pup’s full name is “Death Star”, it’s a whole different story.
Alderaan. Princess Leia’s homeworld, tragically destroyed by Darth Vader.
D’Qar. D’Qar is the headquarter’s of General Leia Organa’s resistance in the later films.
Jakku. The desert home of Rey.

Miscellaneous Star Wars Dog Names

Wampa. Horrifying though that scene was, “Wampa” is a great name for any furry friend – especially a big white Yeti-like dog.
Stormy. Although it isn’t the most aggressively “Star Wars” of the bunch, you’ll always know that your dog was named after the worst shots in the galaxy.
Saber. Not all dog names have to be named after a character – one of the most classic names of the franchise, Saber is both simple and important.
Wookiee. Chewie’s species, known for their general violence and short tempers, but always loyal.
Jedi. A self-explanatory name.
Chalmun. Though technically a person as well, Chalmun’s is the name of the infamous Cantina in A New Hope.
Dianoga. Yeah, the creepy eye thing from A New Hope…doesn’t make a great swimming companion, but it sure makes a good name.
Exogorth. I’m not sure if Exogorth is a name or a species, but the creepy giant worm thing makes a great namesake.
Rebel. For the goodest boys and girls, fighting the forces of evil is the most important task.
Emperor. But sometimes, the bad guys are more compelling anyway.
