Which small dog name is the cutest?
Three Tips for Naming a Small Dog
Naming your new puppy or small dog can be difficult. There are so many names to choose from. Each name has negatives and positives, so how do you figure out which name is best? Here are three tips to consider.
Tip 1: Fit the personality
One of the best ways to name your dog is to look at their behavior. If you can build a cute name that is based off of the personality, that will stick well. In addition, that name can become a bit of a talking point to anyone you introduce to your dog. That will instill the same kind of warm feeling in others that you feel for your dog.
Tip 2: Think about nicknames
Sometimes the best way to start is to have a longer name that will shorten in time. Perhaps a name that can be fluid may be best. This can lead to the dog’s name slowly changing over time to fit their individual style. They may respond better to part of the name, or you may enjoy just part of a name. Thinking about the potential nickname may be a helpful way to future-proof your dog’s name.
Tip 3: Be careful about human names
You may need to be careful when selecting human names. This can lead to awkward situations in which your dog has the same name as someone you know. That person can become offended that you named your dog after them, even if you didn’t. Even if you don’t know someone currently with that name, you may meet a person in the future. It may be best to be wary of any human name when picking out the best name for your canine.
