How To
How to choose the perfect name for your pet
When adopting a pet, the name you choose for them is one of your most important decisions. You want to pick a name that reflects who they are and what kind of personality they have.
Consider how other people may refer to them. If you are going to use their name during conversation, for instance. Finally, think about how you'd like to be referred. Are you more comfortable calling yourself "dog" or your "pet"?
Here are some tips to help you get started:
-
Select a name to fit your dog's breed. If you know the breed (e.g., Labradoodle), look up the names associated with that breed. Ask someone with a good knowledge of dogs to suggest a name.
-
Take into account the meaning behind the name. Some breeds have names that are based on people or places. Others are nicknames. For example, the Labrador Retriever named "Rover" because he was always running!
-
Think about how you'd like to be called. Is it more fun to be called "dog" than "pet"? Would you rather call your dog "Puppy", "Buddy" or "Buddy?"
-
Remember to include the first name of your owner. It is a smart idea to give your dog a name that includes both your first and last names. However, it doesn't mean you should limit yourself to just including the names of family members. Your dog might grow up to be a member your family.
-
Many pets may have more than one name. For example, a cat might go by several names depending on where she lives. You might call her "Kitty Cat" home, but she might be "Molly" on the road with her friends. This is especially true for cats who live outside. They will often adapt their names to match their environment.
-
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. This will ensure that you don't accidentally steal another's identity.
-
Don't forget that choosing a name is not an exact science. Sometimes it takes time to determine whether a name is right for your dog. So keep trying until you find the perfect match!
