Tips for choosing a dog name
1. Be inspired by series
Names from movies and series remain fun: think Fargo, Scooby or Dexter. Just be aware of the associations and choose a name that fits your dog's character.
2. Match with appearance or color
Fluffy, Goldie, Binkie or Dot: descriptive names always work. They can also sound nice in another language (such as Noir for black).
3. Favorite food or drink
Bailey, Whiskey or Nutella - why not? As long as it sounds sweet and screams easy, it's fine. (Maybe "stew" is just a little less practical.)
4. Keep the name short and sweet
Short names (Max, Bo) are faster to call and clearer to your dog. In emergency situations, this is especially important.
5. Avoid confusion with commands
Do not choose a name similar to "sit," "down" or "stay." For example, a name like "Sid" may cause confusion with "sit."
