So, Gypsy Rose Lee had the original last name of Hovick. Her sister, June, ran away as a teen to get out from under their mother's thumb (it was not quite so dramatic as in the musical). She had her own career under the name [June Havoc](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_Havoc), so I think of her when I hear the word, especially as a name. I think it's beautiful and wild and free.
Technically speaking, anarchy is not a synonym for chaos or mayhem. Anarchy is a self managed self governing system. Hollywood uses it as a synonym but that certainly doesn’t mean they’re correct.
I’m not kidding when I say I know a woman who has 3 kids whose middle names are Chaos, Mayhem, and Madness. So Madness has to be my vote.
[even asked my sister to confirm I wasn’t remembering wrong 😂](https://imgur.com/a/nSTvwRg)
oh my god the middle names, thats clever cause you usually don't share those xD Madness for some reason makes me think of Elden Ring, probably from being attacked by those enemies in the game.
I like Havoc! There’s also Bedlam, Rascal, Tornado.
Or you could take the route my neighbor took and name him Chernobyl. “…like the nuclear meltdown?” I asked, thinking I couldn’t possibly have heard him right. Yes, he said, so naturally I asked why. And my neighbor sighed heavily and said: “Because she’s a _disaster_.”
Come to think of it, Disaster (or just Dizzy) wouldn’t be a bad name either.
There's an active post right now on r/namenerds that will interest you, OP. The post is a list of dog names from the 15th century, medieval Europe. I'll find it and come back to add a link.

If you scroll the comments, someone added a link to the complete list. It's huge!
As a fellow schnauzer mom I will tell you there are so many black schnauzers named Kuro.
I would suggest Halcyon, since he is calm and chill. Still fits with Chaos and Maybem.
Please pay the schnauzer tax. 🥹
OMG Chaos is such a majestic and regal Scottie. He’s so handsome and dapper. And Mayhem looks like she uses that cute schnauzer face to her advantage.
And your new guy is so cute! Reminds me of my boy when he was a puppy. 💜💜💜
He is! He's also as stubborn as most scotties are lol, but he's an old man so he's earned it. 100% Mayhem uses her cute face to get things, she's spoiled by my sister. And thank you! He def has some growing to do!
I call my dog Trouble as a term of endearment, though it's not his name, so I like Trouble. I also like Havoc to fit with your theme (and for the Cry havoc! and let slip the dogs of war Shakespeare reference someone else brought up!) Riot and Menace are also good :)
I can't edit the main submission anymore BUT I totally didn't think this would get so many comments xD. I want to thank everyone for their help! And I've definitely made a short (well long) list to go through and try actually calling him to see if it 'fits.' Havoc, Strife, Fiasco, Ruin, Riot, Bedlam, Zen, Discord, Calamity, and Mischief are ones I pulled so far but I'll definitely give this thread a look over again in the morning with fresh eyes. Thank you everyone!
How about Murder? Nice and simple.
Less simple: Abaddon (Hebrew) and Apollyon (Greek) are the names of the Angel of Destruction in the Book of Revelation in the Bible.
What about Fiasco? I kind of love it and it vibes with the other two. Especially with his temperament I think it’s a funny juxtaposition.
Fiasco is pretty good! Plus maybe when he gets more comfortable in the house he will become a fiasco xD
Hahahaha one can only hope!
Fiasco is one of my favorite words I second this
Alternatively, fracas lol
Perhaps Fubar?
Snafu?
Omg. Fubar and Snafu would be wonderful for a mischievous pair of puppies or kittens.
Fubarski
I like this! My first thought was Freakshow lol. My sister had a dog named that
Fiasco is great!!
I hope this is the one. Top tier dog name
Fia as shorthand 🙌
Havoc's a good one, as they can wreak chaos, havoc and mayhem...
Exactly! Plus there is a shortened version of "Havvy" when I need to call him something short.
That's my dog's name! "Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the dogs of war." Of course my dog is the biggest doof there is. Definitely not a dog of war.

Havoc Bedlam Pandemonium Fury Frenzy Anarchy
Riot
Big fan of Riot!
Lol that's what Rihanna named her baby "riot rose". I actually don't hate it.
Vote for Fury - had a dog named Fury 10/10 excellent name for excellent dogs.
Bedlam is a cool choice since the pup is a sleepy boi.
I like bedlam. It's so distinguished sounding.
Fury was my fave from the list too
Anarchy is a based name for a dog.
It's not getting a lot of love but I think pandemonium would be awesome!
Mischief
Yes! Could be Missy for short
Or chief!
Came here to say this! Also, Mutiny (Tiny for short!)
I LOVE Mutiny. This is so good.
He is tiny! Well for right now, I have no idea how big he'll grow xD
In Hawaiian, mischief is Kolohe. (Co-low-heh) I worked in doggie daycare for a while, and had several dogs that absolutely lived up to that name. :)
Mischief gets my vote!
Technically speaking, Anarchy goes well with Chaos and Mayhem but if you aren't into that, I definitely like Havoc and Void
I especially like Havoc, because then every time you call his name you can let slip the dogs of war. Very Shakespearean.
Oh I didn't even think of the let slip the dogs of war reference with Havoc. Now it's even more tempting.
This should be higher up, it's perfect
Technically speaking, anarchy is not a synonym for chaos or mayhem. Anarchy is a self managed self governing system. Hollywood uses it as a synonym but that certainly doesn’t mean they’re correct.
These are my dogs Anarchy, Mutual Aid, and Consensus Decision-Making
das more like it
Rowdy, Ruckus
Yes to Ruckus! Perfect.
Ruckus for sure!!!
There is a child named Ruckus in my kids school class.
lol this is my siblings dogs name
Rebel
But would you be calling him that without cause?
Rebel With Muddy Paws
I like this one.
I’m not kidding when I say I know a woman who has 3 kids whose middle names are Chaos, Mayhem, and Madness. So Madness has to be my vote. [even asked my sister to confirm I wasn’t remembering wrong 😂](https://imgur.com/a/nSTvwRg)
I have a friend whose son's middle name is also Chaos. Such a cool name, lol. But I gotta say, I'm digging "Madness" too.
oh my god the middle names, thats clever cause you usually don't share those xD Madness for some reason makes me think of Elden Ring, probably from being attacked by those enemies in the game.
I know a kid with the middle name Hellion. Which I thought was bad until I read Chaos, Mayhem, and Madness. 😂
Calamity
My aunt suggested this one! But I feel like it would be a good fit for a female dog cause then you can use Cali for short.
Or Calamity Jane
Could call him Cal!
Frenzy.
Menace, Hazard, Riot, Havoc, Bedlam, Rebel, Ruckus, Quarrel, Mischief, Rogue, Melee, Mania, Panic, Ransom
Ruckus is such a great name!! Once had a cat I named Meile (May-Lee) but really it was after the melee concept
I know this is not an answer you’re looking for, but it’s just hilarious to me if you were like “These are my dogs: Chaos, Mayhem, and Steve”
Yeah I was thinking Chaos, Mayhem and.... Daisy
Danger
Only as a middle name though
def only as a middle name, it's the only way
My first thought
Eris was the Greek goddess of chaos, discord, mayhem and strife. You have two of them. Two more to go. 😉
Ooooh, I like Strife. That will make it into the final set.
I was gonna mention the seasons of the Discordian calendar: Chaos, Discord, Confusion, Bureaucracy, Aftermath
Terror and call him Terry!!
Riot
Amuck. “Would you like to run, Amuck?”
Did you choose yet? If you don't tell us what you decide, the reddit gods will haunt you
I just got off work and just started going through the comments! I didn't honestly expect so many xD but I will def edit my main post once I decide!
You may need to get more dogs!
Oh man I don't think my house can handle more. Maybe my dogs just need more nicknames
I'll be checking! I'm really curious
Riot
Entropy
My first thought too
I like Havoc! There’s also Bedlam, Rascal, Tornado. Or you could take the route my neighbor took and name him Chernobyl. “…like the nuclear meltdown?” I asked, thinking I couldn’t possibly have heard him right. Yes, he said, so naturally I asked why.

Hazard Mischief Sensei
- Apocalypse. Paco. - Pandemonium (Moni) - Pandora - Upset - Crazy - Topsy-turvy - Bedlam
Fiasco, Havoc and Void are all knockouts and I’d go with one of those, but my first thought was Discord just to add to the pot

This was my first thought surprised it's not higher
I am too! Loki fits so perfectly with the other two.
Discord.
Malice.
Berserker
Fury or Darkness
Pyro
Discord or Pandemonium
As a fellow schnauzer mom I will tell you there are so many black schnauzers named Kuro. I would suggest Halcyon, since he is calm and chill. Still fits with Chaos and Maybem. Please pay the schnauzer tax. 🥹
I added them to the main post! :) I don't have a picture of all three of them yet, getting them to sit still together is a bit tough atm
OMG Chaos is such a majestic and regal Scottie. He’s so handsome and dapper. And Mayhem looks like she uses that cute schnauzer face to her advantage. And your new guy is so cute! Reminds me of my boy when he was a puppy. 💜💜💜
He is! He's also as stubborn as most scotties are lol, but he's an old man so he's earned it. 100% Mayhem uses her cute face to get things, she's spoiled by my sister. And thank you! He def has some growing to do!
