Some owners do this before the puppy arrives in the house, and some only when the pet crosses the threshold of a new home. And yet: how and when should you choose a dog’s name? Perhaps you have dreamed all your life of having a dog named Sharik. Whether it’s a small lap dog or a huge Alabai - Sharik and that’s it! In this case, of course, you can name the dog in advance.
But experienced dog breeders advise choosing a name for a dog only after meeting it for the first time. Why? Having seen the tailed creature with your own eyes, you will understand for sure what the dog can be called. Observe the animal, study its external features, pay attention to its character and habits, and the question “what to name the puppy” will disappear on its own.
How to choose a name for a dog? Tips from dog handlers
So, you are planning a new addition to your family - a tailed-eared creature. How to choose a nickname for him? Rely on your taste and only your taste. After all, it is you who has to call out to your pet on a walk and call him to you at home. Taking into account simple recommendations, you will choose a dog name that both your four-legged friend and you will like:
- choose a simple and short nickname. Dogs respond best to such names. The dog will quickly get used to the nickname and will delight you with his attention. And it will be easier for you to pronounce a short name. What to do if you are crazy about long and original names for dogs? No problem: you can proudly introduce your pet to others as Gaius Julius Caesar, but in private you can affectionately call him Yulik. And the wolves are fed, and the sheep are safe;
- Consider the breed, size and color of the dog. A red dog named Snow White can cause slight dissonance among those around him. However, if both you and your dog are not against such discrepancies.. :);
- Avoid nicknames that your previous pets had. All the past should remain in the past, and before you is a new friend with his own unique character and unique habits;
- do not call animals by human names. It’s good if your friend of the same name is not offended that you named the dog Sergei. But what if your new neighbor (a person who doesn't know what a sense of humor is) happens to have the same name?
Why is choosing a nickname so important? “Whatever you call the ship, that’s how it will sail” - this is the answer to the question. An animal may not understand the meaning of beautiful words, but nicknames containing the letters r and f develop courage, determination and even independence in the dog. And dog names with the letters l, m, n awaken docileness, friendliness and affection in the animal.
How to choose a nickname
Dog handlers have found that there are several basic rules, adhering to which the new owner can easily choose the ideal nickname. This will require patience and careful observation of your own dog.
Do not hurry
This is a very important point. Some owners choose the first name they come across. And after a couple of months it has to be replaced with something else.
This happens if the selection process was not approached thoughtfully enough. And the chosen option was simply boring.
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this. But the puppy is already accustomed to responding to a certain combination of sounds. And when the owner changes the name, the baby can get confused. Imagine that you first call your child Tolya for a couple of months, and then suddenly you want him to start responding to Pedro.
Agree, the situation is absurd. This also makes the learning process difficult. It is better to wait a couple of days, watch the puppy and try to choose a nickname that best suits its temperament or some characteristics.
Think about the meaning of the name
Research by animal psychologists has revealed that there is a direct relationship between the name and the main character traits of the dog. Therefore, when deciding on choosing a nickname, you should think carefully.
A similar pattern is observed in humans. For example, a group of people named Anastasia or, for example, Victor have the same character traits. Each of them is, of course, a personality, but their characteristic features are also visible to the naked eye.
The same thing happens in animals. For example, a dog named Typhoon or Tsunami will have an irrepressible and explosive character. And Rex will always be smart and loyal.
Bitches called Naida are characterized by an easy-going and kind disposition, as well as increased fertility rates. A very impressive number of such examples can be given.
Therefore, before giving your dog a name, think several times. Perhaps a dog with such character traits will be completely unsuited to living in the same house with you. Or, after a few months, he will receive a new name, much more suitable for him.
Choose depending on your purpose
Long-term research has revealed that when choosing a name for your pet, you should pay attention to what role it will play in your life.
There are unspoken rules that you should follow when choosing:
- For a hunting dog, the nickname should be sonorous and short. The maximum number of syllables is 2. A prerequisite is the presence of 2-3 vowels. But it is very important that you are able to call the dog when he is at an impressive distance. Try shouting your chosen name. If it comes easy, then everything is fine. But if the combination of sounds in the form of a scream causes difficulty, it is better to abandon this option.
- For a watchdog, a short, menacing name of 1-2 syllables would be ideal. The nickname should sound like a command so that the animal immediately reacts to the sound of the owner’s voice. Rex, Mukhtar, Buran, Rada. Animal psychologists remind us that the presence of the letter “P” in a dog’s name gives its character the necessary determination and self-confidence.
- For a companion dog, a calm nickname would be the ideal solution. You should not opt for aggressive names and rely on the docile nature of your ward. The names Tuffnut or Howler are unlikely to be suitable for a calm and phlegmatic Labrador. And a miniature and funny Yorkie named Godzilla will look strange, to say the least.
This is important: If choosing a nickname causes difficulties, then you should seek help from dog handlers or visit the kennel club in which the dog is registered. More experienced owners will be happy to tell you what to name their pet, based on its basic qualities or temperament.
Stop using human names
Calling your four-legged friend human names is bad manners. Firstly, this will cause many uncomfortable situations when you need to call the dog in a public place.
For example, the command “Dasha, sit” is unlikely to be adequately perceived by others. Imagine that we are talking about an unpleasant situation when you need to scold a dog with that name for leaving a pile on the asphalt?
Choosing Japanese or Chinese names would not be the best option either. Most of them are difficult to pronounce for our compatriots. But if the owner decides to give the Shih Tzu or Akita Inu a unique name, then it is worth paying attention to universal options. For example, Naruto or Yoko, Kinzo or Bahaku, etc.

Don't name it after another animal
Another mistake that even experienced breeders unwittingly make. Among German Shepherds, two names are extremely popular. This is Mukhtar and Rex. A person names a puppy, and intuitively expects from him the same intelligence, devotion, intelligence and courage as Commissar Moser’s dog from the TV series “Rex”.
The situation is similar with the nickname Mukhtar. But each dog has an individuality and failure to meet expectations leads to serious disappointment. Although your four-legged friend can be no less smart and loyal.
Choosing the name of a dead dog as a name for a puppy is also not the best decision. The owner will inevitably have a feeling of melancholy and guilt. And these are not the emotions that are necessary for the development of a new, full-fledged friendship and the effective raising of a child.
Try to be unique
During the selection process, try to settle on an exclusive option that will be sonorous, matches the breed and character, and is also not found among the animals in your immediate environment.
In this way, it will be possible to avoid a situation where several dogs with the same nicknames are simultaneously in a specially fenced area for walking animals. Also, you should not give preference to a nickname that is similar to the name of one of your family members. Confusion and ambiguous situations may arise.
Watch the reaction
If you have determined a circle of names, but cannot choose the right one, then you should do the following:
- In a calm environment, when the puppy is not distracted or irritated by anything, call out the selected names evenly in a calm voice;
- Carefully observe the baby's reaction;
- If, at some nickname, he reacted to the owner’s voice (turned around, became alert, raised his ears), then most likely this is an ideal option.
This is important: the main task is to ensure that all names are pronounced in the same even voice. Without any emotional overtones. Only in this case the result will be pure and reliable.
If the owner subconsciously gives preference to any option, then he will pronounce this name a little louder and more demanding than everyone else. And in this case there is no need to talk about the preferences of the animal.
Call as you feel comfortable
It should be understood that the owner and other family members will have to pronounce the chosen option for several years. Therefore, before making a final decision, try calling your pet constantly for a couple of hours.
If after this period of time the chosen nickname does not begin to cause irritation, then everything has been done correctly.
Stop using a funny nickname
At first, it will cheer up the owner. But after a few months, the owner will get tired of answering questions from others and explaining the origin of such an extraordinary name.
In addition, not every dog calmly reacts to the laughter of others. The dog does not understand the reason for the fun and may see a certain mockery in this. The result will be a spoiled character and aggression directed towards strangers.
Choosing a nickname for a puppy is a complex and responsible process. And the owner should approach it very thoroughly. If you plan to adopt a dog into a family, you should ask the opinion of each of its members so that the chosen option suits everyone.
Where do you get ideas?
If the dog has just appeared in the house, you still have time to think and choose a worthy nickname. What if your pet has been living with you for a week or two? Leaving a dog without a name for so long is unacceptable. Where do you get ideas for nicknames? Use your imagination and... strain your memory. Animals are often given majestic names after islands, rivers, mountains, cities and even countries!
A cool nickname for a dog can be borrowed from movie characters: both people and animals. Do you want to give your pet a completely unusual name? Look around: perhaps an object will come into your field of vision whose name would be suitable as a name for a dog. In case inspiration still doesn’t strike you, you can always choose from a ready-made list of nicknames for four-legged creatures.
What to name a girl dog?
There are no special recommendations for choosing a name for a girl dog. The only important and understandable nuance: nicknames for male dogs are not suitable for females. As a rule, girls' dog names are beautiful and sweet-sounding. They should suit the pet, highlight her best qualities and encourage her to behave exemplary. When choosing a name for your four-legged friend, remember that you will have to say it at least 10 times a day.
We bring to your attention the original names of female dogs: Aiza, Alba, Aqua, Ami, Bounty, Bary, Belle, Venta, Goldie, Daisy, Gia, Jasmine, Giselle, Zabava, Yoko, Kylie, Kelly, Lada, Leila, Lassie, Margot, Mila, Monroe, Norma, Nellie, Audrey, Ollie, Ottawa, Pecky, Paris, Patsy, Rhonda, Rachel, Ruth, Rumba, Cindy, Skye, Sicily, Tiffany, Tootsie, Umi, Umbra, Fleur, Freya, Fancy, Charisma, Holly, Hindi, Happy, Celda, Zirconia, Tsabbi, Tsvetik, Chansi, Chelsea, Chanel, Shoko, Shari, Edel, Eliza, Ash, Eugette, Yunna, Justina, Jamaica.
Nicknames for boys dogs
What should you consider when choosing a name for your beloved dog? Remember that a cute puppy will grow into a future protector who must be obedient, brave and responsible. Therefore, names for male dogs are chosen accordingly. What should you name a male puppy if you want to see in him the qualities of a companion (friendliness, cheerful disposition and carefreeness) above all? Then unusual nicknames for male dogs can be used.

Dogs, who faithfully serve for the benefit of humans, are distinguished by such qualities as endurance, courage, and intelligence. They have a huge heart, an excellent sense of smell and keen hearing. Agree, such animals cannot be called Buttons or Cannons. Hunting breeds are given loud and majestic nicknames for hunting dogs, and service breeds, accordingly, are given memorable and loud nicknames for working dogs.

Using practical advice, you will choose a name that you will enjoy saying and your dog will enjoy hearing.
I'll name the dog after...
Trying to choose a name for a boy’s dog that will emphasize his masculinity and greatness, the owners think about the names of Gods, warriors, and generals. Zeus, Thor, Caesar, Ymir are beautiful and majestic nicknames, but not for a Pekingese or toy terrier. Little ones who need a winter sweater, who jump into their arms at the sight of a seasoned yard cat, also deserve courageous names. The name Richard, aka Rich, is perfect for a small male who carries a big lion’s heart in his small chest.
Advice! Observe the puppy for several days, so you will learn some of the characteristic features of the pet. Consider the size of the adult dog when choosing names that describe the pet. For example, the St. Bernard Malysh or Masya brings at least a smile.
By naming an animal after the characters of books or films, you oblige them to correspond to the image. Either refrain from making such a choice, or clearly understand that a dog’s character depends only on genetics and upbringing. By calling a dachshund a Princess, you will not be able to influence the dog’s instinctive desire to roll around in the “incense of a freshly dead bird.” Moreover, even education can be powerless over instincts.
