Sons of Anarchy Dog Names

Introduction

Sons of Anarchy is a television series in which viewers follow lead character Jackson Teller (Jax) as he comes to terms with his role in his father's motorcycle club. Jax is the stereotypical bad boy - he is a part of a motorcycle gang that takes part in illegal activities. However, the club also aids the city of Charming (their hometown and headquarters) in keeping out a lot of more dangerous crime. Jax knows that his parents founded the Sons, and, after the death of his father, Jax's mother and her new husband remain in charge of the club. Only when Jax recovers the letters of his deceased father does Jax realize that the club is taking a totally different direction from his father's vision.

Jax

Jax (or Jackson) Teller is the lead character of the Sons of Anarchy series. While Jax has a very tough exterior, he ponders his position in the club as well as the purpose of the organization. Jax bases these thoughts on the letters his father wrote several years before. Jax is a complex character; he participates in a variety of criminal activities, yet his club is aligned with the law enforcement in his hometown of Charming. In exchange for keeping certain illegal elements out of Charming, the local police turn a blind eye to much of the activities of the club. In this way, Jax is a heroic figure. He also stands for being loyal and honest among club members.

Jax is also a popular name for dogs today. Several famous dogs share the name Jax. One particular dog became popular through a viral video. Jax the Labrador Retriever has a parrot companion at his home in London. The two have developed a "language" in which they understand each other. Jax and his feathered friend were caught on film "arguing," and the uploaded video went viral. The parrot will squawk at Jax, and appear to look at him as if waiting for an answer. The Labrador Retriever will then bark at the parrot as if in answer. While the exchange never becomes aggressive, the pair has garnered many views via YouTube. The parrot appears to imitate the barking of his canine companion. At the end of the clip, poor Jax gets a little carried away with his barking and slips off the sofa, giving a comical end to their exchange.

Another beloved and well-known Jax is Jax the Dog, who appears in the 2014 film 12 Dog Days of Christmas. Played by a dog known as Titus, Jax is one of twelve dogs that an animal shelter volunteer must find a suitable home for by Christmas day (or the pups face euthanization). The volunteer, who is also a troubled teenager, finds purpose (and the holiday spirit) when he works with the dogs. The dogs give him a purpose and teach him a life lesson, as our dogs often do.

Yet another popular Jax is Jax the Dog featured on Facebook. Jax is a mini-Poodle mix, and he is five years old. He enjoys napping (so much that he lists it in his activities twice), chasing his sister (a cat), and "shenanigans." Jax often enjoys dressing up for his Facebook followers, and he loves to have a good time (and sleep, of course!).

Sons of Anarchy Dog Name Considerations

Because Sons of Anarchy is technically a "biker" show, people might naturally assume that dogs with a Sons-inspired name would only fit strong, tough, muscular dogs. However, nothing could be further from the truth! If one considers the leading female characters and ponders the type of dog those ladies might enjoy best, then it is plausible that any type of dog is worthy of a Sons of Anarchy type of name.

Certainly, strong dogs would carry a Sons-inspired moniker well. American Bulldogs, Pit Bull Terriers, and Rottweilers would be the first choice to have a "tough" name or a name associated with strength. Character names such as Jax, Clay, Piney, and Bobby are befitting of the breeds previously mentioned; however, they are appropriate for German Shepherds and Dobermans as well. Each of these breeds is strong and known for their toughness.

Considering the leading ladies of the Sons of Anarchy series, Gemma, Wendy, and Tara would fit almost any breed of pup from a tiny Yorkie to a Chow or a Golden Retriever. Gemma is a very tough female who does not back down; she stands up for her family, particularly Jax. This name is appropriate for any loyal female. Tara is the foil to Gemma's tough character; however, she exhibits her own form of toughness as well. She is quiet unless provoked. It is in cases such as this that one might look at their pup's personality before labeling him or her with a name.
