Your definition of what is cool really depends on your interests and personality. Naming your pet is the first step toward bonding. Don't pick a name because someone else thinks it is cool. Pick a name that fits your dog's personality as well as your own.
Your dog is your best friend and you will call your dog an average of 25,000 times during his/her life. Imagine giving your dog the wrong name!
Another fact is that many dog owners would like to change the name of their dog after a few months already. Why stress the dog with a new name when you can do it right from the beginning?
Below are some suggestions of cool dog names. But before we start here are a few more tips. Don't use dog names that sound similar to very common words and commands like 'go, stay, sit, eat, come, run' etc. The biggest mistake down owners do is giving the dog a cure name that fits well as long the dog is young and still a little puppy but sounds stupid for an adult dog.
Another not so great idea is to name the dog after people you know. They might not be very pleased with that. Here are some suggestions how you can find a good dog name:
If you like sports:
Name your dog after your favorite team or the city in which they play.
For example:
"Dolphin" is only cool if your dog likes to swim. "Miami" is a very cool name.
Name them after your favorite sports personality. Their last name or nickname is usually a better choice. This of course depends on their name.
The sport itself- Hard to translate into a cool name. Here are a couple:
Rugby
Polo

Hercules - for the tough dog
Persephone - great for a mama dog
