Christmas Names for Pets

Pets adopted at Christmas or given as holiday gifts might get classic Christmas names. Festive and creative, Christmas names draw from all aspects of the holiday season. Christmas names for dogs and cats can be even more playful than those for babies. Names such as Buddy and Cookie may feel too silly for a son or daughter, but delightful and charming on a pet.

Along with Buddy and Cookie, other popular Christmas names for pets include Angel, Belle, Cocoa, Ginger, Holly, Rudy, Stella, and Sugar. Distinctive pet names with Christmas spirit include Claus, Frost, Jovie, and Merry.
