Dog Names Meaning Ice

Introduction

Every year in certain parts of the world, winter makes itself known by adoring nature with it's own form of water crystal; ice. This beautiful substance is striking, cold, sparkly, and rather cunning. It can appear as if it is completely harmless, but just one misstep or quick turn on an icy road, and an accident can occur! Knowing all of this, it is easy to see how monikers that mean "ice" can be so appealing. Not only are they unique and rarely used, these titles are also perfect for dogs that are graceful, strong, captivating, and all around striking.

Dog Names Meaning Ice in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog with a Name Meaning Ice

Blanco

Presidential dogs have been guest stars in our spotlight before, but one that many may not know about is Lyndon Johnson's beautiful white Collie by the name of Blanco. President Johnson was the United States 36th President and took on the role after John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Johnson was a real, true-blue dog lover, who had many four-footed friends running around the White House. The two that he seemed to be seen the most with were his two Beagles, Him and Her, but according to Johnson himself, Blanco the Collie was one of his favorite pups.

Blanco came to join the Johnson family in 1963 as just a puppy when a young girl offered him as a gift to President Johnson. While many people had offered the dog-loving president many pups in the past, Johnson accepted Blanco and made an announcement that this white Collie would be symbolic of all the dogs offered to him in the past and that he wouldn't be accepting any more. This was probably a good move or the White House might have been overrun with dogs!

Although Blanco was somewhat of a naughty dog (biting the other dogs and peeing on statues from time to time), he still appeared in pictures with the President, such as a Christmas card, and gave his master a handshake whenever he came back to the White House. Most likely his naughty behavior stemmed from lack of stimulation, considering Collies are rather high energy dogs and it isn't clear on whether or not Blanco got out to play as much as he would have liked. Whatever the case may be, Blanco's white fur and somewhat naughty personality fits in well with the overall ice theme; white, frosty, and feisty.

Another spotlight dog that goes hand in hand with the ice moniker theme goes by the name of Old Jack. He was one of the Siberian Huskies that was featured in the film Eight Below which was based on the true story of the Japanese Arctic expedition of 1958. Old Jack was a faithful dog and helped to pull a sled team along with multiple other Huskies. Unfortunately, when the dogs got left behind during a storm, Old Jack was the only one that was unable to escape from his lead. Because of this, the faithful old pup laid down to wait until sleep overtook him, or his master returned.

Dog Name Meaning Ice Considerations

Naturally, dogs that come to mind who may fit an icy name well, are breeds that hail from cold parts of the world; such as the Shiba Inu, Siberian Husky, Malamute, Anatolian Shepherd, and the Kuvasz. There are many more that not only have thick gorgeous coats to protect them from the ice and snow, but also striking markings and eye colors that also capture the overall essence of ice. One thing that is not necessary for a moniker that means "ice" is a steely or cold personality. Of course, if you have a dog breed that likes to hold themselves in a very sophisticated or detached manner, then absolutely, a name from this category may be for you. On the other hand, dogs who perhaps were cold at first and then slowly began to warm up to their true personalities could bear a name such as "Elsa", the snow queen from Disney's film Frozen. A few other examples would be; "Tinsel", which is the beautiful mock ice that can be hung from Christmas trees, "Poppy" which are flowers that can grow even through the icy ground, or "Jack Frost", who brings winter and fun times to all that he can.
