October Dog Names, Names Inspired By October

Sorted alphabetically. Sort by popularity »

October dog names celebrate the most magical month of autumn. With Halloween, harvest festivals, and the peak of fall foliage, October is filled with color, excitement, and a touch of spooky fun. If your puppy arrives in this enchanting month, an October-inspired name perfectly captures the season's unique blend of warmth and mystery.

This collection features names drawn from October's defining elements — pumpkins, autumn leaves, Halloween traditions, and the harvest moon. You'll find options like Pumpkin, October, Scarlet, Hazel, Boo, and Raven, along with names connected to the month's birthstone opal and zodiac signs Libra and Scorpio. Each name carries the rich, warm spirit of fall.

October names work beautifully for dogs with rich coat colors — deep reds, warm browns, and golden tones that mirror the autumn landscape. Irish Setters, Vizslas, and Rhodesian Ridgebacks are especially fitting. But any puppy born or adopted in October, or one who simply has a playful, slightly mysterious personality, will wear an October name wonderfully.
