Things to Think About When Naming Your Dog

Breed: Your dog’s breed is also important when choosing a name. Certain breeds may have names that are more fitting.
Size: The size of your dog can also be a factor in coming up with a name. If you have a large dog, you may want to choose a name that reflects their size, such as “Bear” or “Hercules.” If you have a small dog, you may want to think of a name that reflects their small size, such as “Peanut” or “Tinkerbell.”
Personality: You will want to consider your dog’s personality and choose a name that reflects their unique characteristics. Does your dog show lots of energy? Is he/she really playful? Or dos your pup show more of a timid and chill personality. This is a great starting point to come up with names.
Length: Also consider the length of the name when choosing a name for your pup. Shorter names, such as “Max” or “Leo,” are often easier to say and remember. Have you noticed how many dogs have longer names that the owners have shortened to one syllable!
Meaning: Consider the meaning of the name you choose. Choose a name that has a positive connotation, as it can help shape your dog’s personality and behavior.
Popularity: Consider the popularity of the name you choose. If you choose a name that is too popular, it may be confusing for your dog when you call out their name in a crowded area.

Are you making a list right now? Or have you started a list yet? My family had a list of dog names two years before we got our dog, Stinson! Yes, two whole years!

Some families are really big into keeping naming tradition. Do you know families where each child has a name that starts with the same letter? Yup, we do too! We are working our way through the alphabet and today is all about the letter K.
