Over 300 Name Ideas for Dogs With Stunning Blue Eyes

Blue eyes in dogs are a rarity—even less common than in humans. Worldwide, approximately 8–10% of people have blue eyes, while the trait appears in only about 5% of dogs. The recessive gene responsible can still surface occasionally, particularly in breeds such as Siberian Huskies and Australian Shepherds.

If your recently adopted dog has striking blue eyes, they are indeed a rare find—though as your loyal companion, they are already one of a kind. The next step is selecting a distinctive name that reflects the allure of those captivating eyes.

To help you decide, we have assembled over 300 name options. Browse the full list to find the one that suits your beautiful new pet.
