How To
How to choose the best name for your pet
Name selection is one of most important decisions when you adopt a pet. You want your pet's name to reflect their personality.
Consider how other people may refer to them. If you are going to use their name during conversation, for instance. The last thing you need to think about is how you want to be referred. Are you more comfortable calling yourself "dog" or your "pet"?
Here are some tips and tricks to help you get going.
-
Pick a name that fits your dog's breed. Look up names that are associated with the breed if you are familiar with it (e.g. Labradoodle). Or ask someone who knows dogs well to suggest a name based on the breed.
-
Take into account the meaning behind the name. Some breeds are named after people or places, while others are just nicknames. Because he was always running, the name Rover was given to a Labrador Retriever.
-
How would you like to be called? Are you more comfortable calling your dog "dog" or "pet?" Do you prefer to call your dog "Puppy", or "Buddy?"
-
Don't forget to include the owner's first name. It's sensible to give your dog an owner's name. But, don't limit yourself by limiting your family's names. Your dog could become part of your family as well!
-
Be aware that many pets have multiple names. A cat, for example, might have multiple names depending on where she lives. At home, she could be called "Kitty Cat", but when visiting friends, "Molly". This is especially true when cats live outdoors. Cats often choose to adopt their name according to their surroundings.
-
Be creative! There are no rules stating that you have to stick to one naming convention. You just need to choose something that is unique and memorable.
-
Make sure that your chosen name doesn't already belong to another person or group. That way, you won't accidentally steal someone else's identity!
-
Finally, remember that choosing a name for your pet isn't an exact science. Sometimes, it can take time to find the right name for your dog. Keep at it until you find the right match.
