Do you prefer to go out-of-the-box with the name for your four-legged friend? Then the tips below might help you come up with an original name.

Favorite series

These days it is popular to give the name, or a character from your favorite series to your four-legged friend. Think for example of Fargo, Scooby and Dexter. Hopefully then your dog will not have the same character as Dexter ;).

Dog names that are identical to your dog's appearance

The names Pluisje, Goldie and Binkie continue to be popular names. You can still come up with many of your own within this category! For example, think of Stip or Duffy (means dark hair). Or an external characteristic in another language, such as black means Noir in French.

Favorite food or drink

You've probably heard of it before. A dog named after a delicious drink, such as Bailey or Whiskey. You can also name your dog after your favorite food, like Nutella or Avocado! You can come up with countless variations of your own in this. Although, mashed potatoes might sound a bit crazy.... But to each his own :).

Keep the name short

Calling out the name Cleopatra is a lot harder than calling out the name Max. Also, it is safer to use a short name because your dog will listen faster. Imagine if your dog has to cross quickly and you have to call another very long name because otherwise he won't listen.... Dogs like clarity, so a short name or a diminutive name works better!

Do not choose a name similar to a command

Well, if you start calling your dog Sid and he knows the word "sit" as a command, of course he gets totally confused.... Therefore, choose a name that does not resemble a familiar command.

Good luck choosing your dog's name! And enjoy his company, because ohh what fun dogs are!!!
