Harry Potter dog names for boy dogs
There are a lot of male character names in Harry Potter, which makes it a great place to look for boy dog names, especially if you enjoy the Harry Potter world or want a name that sounds like it is from the wizarding world. Some of these are somewhat "normal" sounding names, like Amos, or Blaise, Bill, Fred, or Harry, but when you know the whole story of where they come from, there's surely a lot more to it. Plus, when you look at the last name of these characters as possible names also, that's many more (like, almost twice as many!) Harry Potter dog names for boy dogs to choose from.
