Giving you a warm welcome to our page all about naming a Cane Corso, this page is your go-to resource that seeks to provide inspiration to you in an attempt to find the ideal name for your dog.
Whilst on one hand finding the ideal name for your Cane Corso can pose an exciting prospect, it can also be slightly stressful. So you’ve come to the right place, as we’re here to alleviate the overthinking. So without further ado lets lay out some top tips to get your brain ticking!
Top Tips to Name Your Cane Corso
- Observe your dog and choose a name that aligns with it’s personality: You can pick something fun based on how your dog acts. Like, for instance if your furry friend often acts hyperactive, you can really consider a name like Bubbly or Mischief.
- Consider how your Cane Corso looks: Based on the appearance of your dog, you can choose a fitting name. A common example of this (that many individuals love to do) is call their Cane Corso something like Mocha or if their dog has a darker undertone in their coat.
- Put yourself first: Sometimes we go through life always putting other people first and neglecting our own feelings. That stops here, at times you need to make your dogs name a reflection of who you are. A good example of this is, if you’re particularly interested in Greek mythology, you could simply call your Cane Corso Zeus or Athena.
- Make sure you’re not overcomplicating things: Easier is better. You want to think of something that people can actually say out loud! You don’t want something long, otherwise people will struggle to pronounce or spell it.
- Take it for a test run: You wouldn’t buy a car without taking it for a spin first, would you? So why don’t you give your brand spanking new name a go and see how it feels when you say the name out loud. If it feels weird or wrong, then maybe you can reconsider the name. But if it just feels right, then why delay, you can go for it!

Some Other Ideas to Name Your Cane Corso Friend
- Cane Corsos as we have discussed in our general information page, because Cane Corsos originate from italy, they can be often named after popularised Italian words or phrases. For instance, ‘Bella’ as mentioned above is a great example of that. It translates to beautiful in Italian. But if you’re going for a more masculine name, you could pick ‘Romeo’ or ‘Davide’ for instance.
- Keeping with this Italian these, there are Cane Corsos that are named after or in honour of historical figures or celebrities. For instance with ‘Maldini’ the Italian football player.
- You can’t talk about Italy without discussing their food! You can call your furry friend Parmesan after the beautiful cheese you put over your pasta at an Italian restaurant.
- Moving away from the Italian theme, you should consider that your Cane Corsos can be named after the vibe they create, for instance if a dog is mischievous you can call it ‘Gizmo’.
- Or on the note above, you can align your dogs name with certain character traits it has. For instance, ‘Guardian’ for a large Cane Corso with a protective nature, or ‘Athlete’ for a dog with plenty of athleticism.
Key Things to Consider Before Choosing a Cane Corso Name
DO:
- Consider your Cane Corso’s personality.
- Think about your Cane Corso’s appearance.
- Consider your own interests.
- Keep it simple and easy.
- Say it loud and proud.
DON’T:
- Pick a name that is too long or complicated.
- Pick a name that is too similar to a common command like ‘sit’.
- Pick a name that is too similar to a family member’s name as you don’t want to get confused.
- Pick a name that is too trendy or popular, as there will be people using who are well known that you may align with, leaving a negative association with your dog.
- Pick a name that you will grow to dislike, just be sure on this.
Poem Time!
I have a Cane Corso named Espresso
He’s quick and powerful, you know
He runs and plays and never gets sleepy
He’s always ready to go
But sometimes he gets a bit frisky
He likes to have fun, jump and play
He’ll chase his own tail around in circles
Right until the end of the day
Although he’s got a large body
And a face that’s tough and stern
But don’t let that pull the wool over your eyes, he’s a big softie
So if you’re thinking of getting a lovely Cane Corso
And you’re still back and forth on what to name
Just keep in mind, they’re strong and energetic
But they’re also full of love and flame!
