If you’re looking for the most magical dog names for your supernaturally wonderful pup, you’re in the right spot!

We’ve got 50 each for male and female pups for you today!

Some of us have always had an interest in the supernatural and the magical, and we want our dog’s name to reflect that.

Magical dog names are great when you know the story behind them.

As we go through these names, try and figure out where they came from and what reference each one makes!
