If you give your pet a patriotic name, you'll remind yourself of all this country has to offer every day of the animal's life. Unfortunately, it might be easier to find a patriotic pet name for a male than female pet. Whatever patriotic name you choose, make sure it's easy for your pet to understand and doesn't consist of more than a syllable or two. Of course, you can have the formal pet name, and use a diminutive as the call name. Call names are more important for canines than felines, as cat owners know.
Patriotic male and female dog names inspired by American values.

Presidential dog names
Certain Presidential surnames make wonderful pet names. Think Lincoln, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, along with lesser-known presidents such as Tyler, Taylor or Arthur. Other possibilities include Taft, Wilson, Hoover, Truman, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton. Again, there's a lack of suitable female names, but Roosevelt is easily shortened to "Rosie," and Kennedy is appropriate for either gender.

Patriotic names for male and female dogs inspired by military heroes.
Honor your country by naming your pet after a military hero. From the Civil War, there's Grant, Sherman and Meade. From the First World War, there's Pershing, although "Black Jack" is a fine name for a dark animal. If naming your pet after a World War II general, consider "Eisenhower," but shorten it to Ike. You could name a female pet "Patton" and call her Patty, and the diminutive of Marshall could be Marshy.
