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 who your pet is and their personality.
You should also consider how others might refer to them - if you're going to use their name in conversation, for example. And finally, you should think about how you yourself would like to be referred to. For instance, do you prefer "dog" or "pet"?
These are some tips to get you started.
-
Select a name to fit your dog's breed. If you know the breed (e.g., Labradoodle), look up the names associated with that breed. Ask someone who is familiar with dogs to recommend a name that fits 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!
-
Think about how you'd like to be called. Is it more fun to be called "dog" than "pet"? Would you call your dog "Puppy" or "Buddy"?
-
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!
-
Many pets may have more than one name. A cat may have many names, depending on where she is located. At home, she could be called "Kitty Cat", but when visiting friends, "Molly". This is especially true when cats live outdoors. They often adopt their names to fit their environment.
-
Be creative! There are no set rules. Be unique and memorable in your choice.
-
Make sure that your chosen name doesn't already belong to another person or group. This will ensure that you don't accidentally steal another's identity.
-
Finally, remember that choosing a name for your pet isn't an exact science. Sometimes, it can take time to find the right name for your dog. Keep at it until you find the right match.
