Dog Naming Advice for Potterheads

Whether your dog is a Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, or Slytherin, consider personality when choosing their name.

If you’re having trouble deciding, keep in mind that a great dog name can come from many different sources of inspiration. Dog breeds are a particularly powerful influence. For example, a French Bulldog puppy might be just right wearing Fleur as a name, while a Shih Tzu (known as “the lion dog”) might sport Gryffindor.
