How to Choose a Dog Name

Are you still uncertain about which name to choose? You’re not alone. If you’re having trouble deciding, remember that a creative dog name can come from many different sources of inspiration, such as your favourite foods, books, celebrities, or even dog breed history. For example, a Chihuahua mix puppy might sport a Latin-inspired name like Coco, while a German Shepherd could carry a name like Zane. When picking a name for your male dog, it’s important to consider how it will affect training, especially if you have a puppy. You’ll be teaching your dog commands like “sit,” “stay,” or “come,” so you don’t want their name to sound like any of these words. For example, a name like “Bit” could be confused with “sit.” Many dog experts suggest choosing a name with at least two syllables and a sing-song quality or a vowel sound at the end. Also, make sure the name is easy to say. A fun way to test this is with the “backdoor test.” Just stand at the back door and call out your dog’s potential name, like “Nico, it’s time for dinner!” or “Charlie, leave it!” This helps you imagine what it will be like to use the name in everyday life.
