How To Choose The Best Dog Names
Dog names have probably been on your mind quite a bit lately. What exactly do you want to name your new puppy? Choosing the best dog names is very important because it is something you will be saying several times a day for the next several years as your dog grows up and lives with you. You want it to at least be a name you will enjoy yelling.
You could consider regular people names such as Beth or Mikey. There have also been owners who have named their dogs after movie stars such as the good ole Lassie and of course, who can forget The Beast from the movie The Sand Lot?
What I love so much about dog names is that they are not held to the rigid standards that our own human names are held to. You have so much more room for creativity and can really come up with something that is completely original. So be sure you don’t let this opportunity slip through your fingers by choosing a boring dog name.
You may want to consider going with a name that describes your dog and his attributes. An example of this would be dog names such as Tiny, Killer, Beast and even Giant. If all else fails, you can always go with the stereotypically common names of Spot, Fido and Rover.
I have also always loved dog names that were the opposite of the dog. For example, naming a tiny dog Killer and a huge dog something like Mighty Mouse. That is what makes dog naming so fun, no rules or restrictions to hold you back. You are only limited by your own imagination.
A friend of mine had quite a creative name for her dog. He was black and white and was named Oreo, which fit him perfectly. On the other hand, my mother has a Black Lab that she named Sadie so you really do have many options.
Dogs can be named after childhood friends, relatives you don’t like, super heroes, foods, adjectives, cities, or anything else you can possibly imagine.
Make sure, that what ever dog name you pick, that you feel comfortable using it in public and around family and friends. For this reason, choosing profanity for dog names would probably not be the best bet.
