200 Playful Dog Names for Your Energetic Companion

Do you have a dog who is a doofus and/or a goofball? If you're not sure, take a look at them right now. Is their tongue hanging out? Do their eyes seem to go in two different directions? Are they running around and barking excitedly at nothing? You have a goofball on your hands.

In the case that you have a new goofball and need help naming them, we've put together some suggestions. Keep in mind that goofballs have unique naming needs. You can't give them a Shakespearean name or a name inspired by a mathematician. These dogs need a name that, like them, is uniquely goofy.
