What is an ironic name for a small dog?
Well you have to think tough, strong, big, and courageous. By the same token names that are grand, imposing and splendid.
Names that are the opposite of what you would associate with being small and puny.
Classical Civilization Inspired
Classical names from Greek and Roman history are grand and powerful. The names being from great rulers, fighters, and leaders.
Agamemnon was King of Mycenae and appeared in the film Troy. How ironic would it be to call your small cute teacup of a dog such a name?

You wouldn’t associate a small dog with an action hero name. Fearless, brave and strong are words to describe action heroes. Characteristics you wouldn’t normally associate with a little dog.
Think of the irony of having a small chihuahua with the name Wick (from John Wick). This little dog could be a secret boogeyman.

Ironic Girl Dog Names
Pugs are small funny looking things. Imagine having a girl pug named Athena or Dior. I’m not saying pugs or any small dog for that matter can’t pull of the name.
However, you automatically associate name like that with words like “fancy”, “grand” or “splendor.”
