What does Felony mean?
Human: Serious crime punishable by imprisonment.. Felony is a legal term referring to a serious crime that is punishable by imprisonment or death.
Our editors checked this meaning before publishing. Names with several genuine origins are shown as separate senses rather than a single claim.
Is Felony a good dog name?
Felony has not been formally rated for calling yet. As a rule of thumb, one or two clear syllables work best for recall. With 3 syllables, it has a longer, more musical sound; many owners use a shorter nickname for recall.
Before you commit, say it out loud a few times and check it does not clash with a household name or a training cue like "sit" or "no".
Felony popularity in the Pets In The City community

What kind of dog does Felony suit?
It suits any dog — it is used across the board in our community. Owners often pick Felony for its funny, wonderfully unusual feel. Treat these as suggestions — plenty of dogs happily wear names that break every rule.
Welcoming Felony!
Our entirely unscientific pack opinion.
When we heard Felony was coming to check in, we wondered if we’d need a ‘paw-sitive’ parole officer! But with a name like that, I bet she’s just here to steal hearts, not bones!
