How To
How do you choose the right name for your pet?
The most important decision you will make when adopting an animal is choosing a name. Names should reflect the personality and character of your pet.
Consider how other people may refer to them. If you are going to use their name during conversation, for instance. And finally, you should think about how you yourself would like to be referred to. For instance, do you prefer "dog" or "pet"?
Here are some tips for getting started.
-
You should choose a name that suits your dog's breed. Look up the names of the breeds if you know the breed (e.g. Labradoodle). Or ask someone who knows dogs well to suggest a name based on the breed.
-
Be aware of the meaning behind the name. Some breeds were named after people or specific places, while others are just names. For example, the Labrador Retriever named "Rover" because he was always running!
-
How would you like to be called? Is it more fun to be called "dog" than "pet"? Would you call your dog "Puppy" or "Buddy"?
-
Include the first name of the 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.
-
Remember that pets can have multiple names. A cat, for instance, could go by different names depending upon where she lives. When she visits her friends, she might be called "Kitty Cat" but "Molly", at home. This is especially true if the cat lives outside. They may choose to name themselves after the environment in which they live.
-
Be creative There is no rule that says you must follow a particular naming convention. Make sure you choose something memorable and unique.
-
Check to make sure your chosen name hasn't been used by someone else or a group. So you don't accidentally steal someone's identity.
-
Last but not least, don't forget to remember that choosing a name can be a complicated process. Sometimes it takes time to determine whether a name is right for your dog. Keep looking until you find that perfect name.
