How To

How to choose a name for your pet.

The most important decision you will make when adopting an animal is choosing a name. It is important to choose a name that best reflects the person and personality of your pet.

You should also consider how others might refer to them - if you're going to use their name in conversation, for example. Last, consider how you wish to be referred too. What do you prefer, for example, "dog" or pet?

Here are some tips that will help you get started.

  1. Pick a name that fits your dog's breed. Look up the names of the breeds if you know the breed (e.g. Labradoodle). Ask someone who is familiar with dogs to recommend a name that fits the breed.
  2. Take into account the meaning behind the name. Some breeds have names that are based on people or places. Others are nicknames. One Labrador Retriever was named Rover because he loved to run!
  3. Think about how you'd like to be called. Are you more comfortable calling your dog "dog" or "pet?" Are you more likely to call your dog "Puppy" than "Buddy?"
  4. Be sure to include the name of the owner. It makes sense to give your dog a name that includes your last name but doesn't limit yourself to only including your family members' names. Your dog could become part of your family as well!
  5. Keep in mind, many pets have multiple nicknames. A cat, for example, might have multiple names depending on where she lives. At home, she could be called "Kitty Cat", but when visiting friends, "Molly". This is especially true for cats who live outside. They may choose to name themselves after the environment in which they live.
  6. Be creative There are no rules stating that you have to stick to one naming convention. It is important to pick something distinctive and memorable.
  7. 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.
  8. Finally, remember that choosing a name for your pet isn't an exact science. Sometimes it takes some time to decide if a name is right. Keep trying until you find the right name!
