How To
How to choose a name for your pet.
Name selection is one of most important decisions when you adopt a pet. Names should reflect who your pet is and their personality.
You need to think about how others may refer to you. The last thing you need to think about is how you want to be referred. Do you prefer "pet" or "dog"?
Here are some tips and tricks to help you get going.
-
Choose a name that is appropriate for your dog's breed. Look up the names associated to the breed, if you have a good idea of what it is (e.g. Labradoodle). Ask someone who is knowledgeable about dogs to suggest names based on that breed.
-
Be aware of the meaning behind the name. Some breeds are named after people and places while others are simply nicknames. The name "Rover," for example, was given to a Labrador Retriever because he was always running around!
-
Think about how you'd like to be called. Do you prefer to be called "dog?" or "pet?" Would you call your dog "Puppy" or "Buddy"?
-
Make sure to include the owner's name. Although it's a good idea to name your dog with your last name, don't forget to include the names of your family members. Your dog may grow up to be part of your family, too!
-
Keep in mind, many pets have multiple nicknames. A cat, for instance, could go by different names depending upon where she lives. At home, she could be called "Kitty Cat", but when visiting friends, "Molly". This is especially true when cats live outdoors. Many cats adopt their names to suit their environment.
-
Be creative! There is no rule that says you must follow a particular 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. So you don't accidentally steal someone's identity.
-
Remember that choosing the right name for your pet can be difficult. Sometimes it takes time before you can determine if the name is right. Keep looking until you find that perfect name.
