Tips For Naming A Dog
So you’ve got a few names picked out, now what?! Now it’s time to figure out how to select a name perfect for your new puppy. Here are some helpful tips for naming your new dog.
- Keep It short-(ish): A short name is usually easiest to say and understand. One or two syllables names will most likely be your best bet. Don’t worry, most of the names on this list are on the short end. If you select a name that is longer, consider a nickname. A nickname will allow for you to quickly and easily call your dog. Let’s say you love the name Valentino, maybe his or her nickname can be Val. Simple!
- Avoid common words: It’s super important for your dog to distinguish his/her name from other words. This means avoid name that sound too similar to commands are existing names in the house already.
- Test it: Every name you like may not make sense for your specific dog. Take some time to see what fits. Start by saying the name aloud to see if it’s easy for your to say. If it is, then try it with your dog to see if it’s a match for their look and personality.
- Pick a name you like: You’ll be saying this name ALOT :). Be sure you are satisfied with the name you select. Even if this means taking a few extra days.. it’ll be worth it!
What if I want to rename my dog?
When you adopt a dog he or she will typically already have a name. Maybe it’s one that they don’t even know yet or maybe it’s one they’ve had for years. Either way, you absolutely can rename your dog but here are some tips for deciding.
First, you’ll want to consider what their current name is and whether you like it. Maybe you got lucky and love the name. But let’s face it, since you’re here looking at V dog names, there is a very good chance you’re not in love with the current name. That is okay!
You can decide to change the name completely – just know if it is a name your dog actually recognizes it will take him or her a while to understand their new name. One way to ease this process is to consider a name that sounds similar to the existing name. That you means selecting a name that starts and/or ends in the same letters as the original name.
At the end of the day, go with whatever name your gut is telling you!
