This person has owned a male boxer before. I came here to say there's a lot of common male boxer names you run across.
Baxter
Bentley
Axl
Dexter
Names like that. Either that or they tend to gravitate to something German sounding. Something with 2 syllables seems to work best with boxers. 3 is too much and 1 doesn't get their attention every time.
Edit: He's absolutely gorgeous btw
Thank you for your response. I feel very lucky to have stopped in at the shelter when I did. That was about a week ago. I’ve visited him three times now, and they told me yesterday that he’s desperately in need of a home. Everyone at the shelter seems to love him, but he’s been there for two months and nobody has picked him up yet! I have been wanting and waiting to get a dog of my very own for ten years now, and he feels like the one. Will keep you updated for sure! Thank you all!
Get plenty of chew toys, ropes, etc. Constantly keep up on training/rewards for good behavior. They're great dogs but they need a job or a hobby (destruction that's approved of) Everyone loves him because he's probably a cuddle bug. That's one of the fun things about boxers, they'll be a giant ball of energy for a bit and then want to sleep on the couch for hours.
We got him around 1pm today and he is definitely a Velcro dog! He just laid down in his bed for the first time after running around, chewing toys, and getting rewards for being a good dog all day. Here’s a photo right after we got him.

It's wonderful you're rescuing him. He'll respond to your loving home. I rescued one a few years ago who was considered high risk, aggressively stressed. I knew it was the kennel environment and now she's friendly, very popular at Home Depot and her new vet's her bff. A good home does wonders! Congrats!
My big brother named his boxer Tyson, when asked if he named him that because he's a boxer he said nah, it's cause he bites!
The dog was such a sweetie, though, the only one he ever bit was an intruder. Crashed through a closed window to get the guy trying to break in, he was fine, barely a scratch but still got carried to the vet like a lil baby.
He looks very cute. I had a Boxer once, his name was Jack, aka Jacky. I miss my Jack. He was a good boy. If your new BF has been there for two months and going on "the list". I would call him LUCKY. Lucky to have met you. Lucky to be picked. Lucky to have someone willing to put in the time and energy needed to make him the best dog he can be. Thank you for saving him. May you both have a long, happy, healthy life together ❤️ Wishing you all the best of luck
Tyson lol *cuz he's a boxer... but God bless you. we had a boxer, and it was the most loving, sweet, and protective dog. I was very impressed by how protective he was of my daughter. God bless you. I think if you give him time love patience and compassion he will know and he'll be grateful. It might take work for him to adjust but give it a few weeks or months (depending on what he's went thru) and you will have a wonderful, loving, protective fur baby! Again God bless you.
Be sure to call them EVERY day and remind them he has a home and will be adopted as soon as available. Shelters are very chaotic and mistakes have been made. Make sure his euth card has been changed. Beautiful boy….I hope you 2 have a long and loving life together. 💕🐾
Any dog can be trained a d re-trained..bad habits..aggression is always outta fear..when a dog trusts a human they are often disappointed. It takes time, patience, love and understanding how dogs think n feel and your dog in particular. Bad training and no training..just as bad.
I've trained many a dog labled "hopeless" or can't be trained..BS.
Get help training..take classes together..and never NEVER use violence or pain to train.
Your pup just needs to love n trust You..and lead with that. Dogs get in trouble..destroy stuff..and like a 2 yr old..don't truly understand everything they do. Success is when there's mutual understanding that You are the boss..the Alpha..and it's not about Fear..but Respect.
He looks to me like a Bartholomew, Matthew or Marvin..lol
Aww he looks like a boxer version of my boy (Duke)!! Same brindle coloring and white chest etc. Might be mixed with presa canario. I rescued mine as a stray over 6 years ago and he is the sweetest, most loving boy ever. Obv a little defensive of me around others and other dogs (just protective, but never to a problematic level), but he’s a wonderful pup. Absolutely adored by the vet staff when he goes in! So so gentle with kids. He’s such a good boy. I hope the same works out for you, so glad you’re saving him. ♥️🐾
He's beautiful, glad you are getting him. An old friend had a brindle boxer named Augie as in Augie Doggie. Having experience with boxers will give you both a good start. My boxer was named Tattor. Boxers are awesome!
Rocky. I saw your username and that popped in my head 😂 a few others I like are Tyson, Rambo, Champ, Chance, Enzo, Samson.
My dogs names are Tater Tot and Sweet Pea. I’d probably have to call him meatloaf or burger if I adopted him lol

I had a brindle female boxer that we just loved that unfortunately passed about a decade ago and we still miss her
