How Do You Pick the Right Name?
How do you know if you’ve picked the right name for your dog? That’s a question all new dog parents ask.
After years of helping new pup parents, here are some tips we’ve picked up when it comes to selecting a name for your dog:
- Is it easy to say? Some names are great in theory but tough to pronounce in everyday life. Before you lock in on a name, make sure it rolls off the tongue.
- Say it out loud. Can you imagine loudly calling for your dog with this name? If not, then it’s not the right name and you should move on.
- Does it fit your dog? Check to see if the name matches your dog’s personality and appearance. This is important for both you and your pup.
- And finally, trust your gut. When you find the right name, you’ll know it!

My Jack Russel terrier was named ‘Bud’ wiser he was a bit dumb but he was my dearest best friend and brother.
He loved chasing tennis balls, chewing and rolling on sticks. May you find your best dog name.
We had a dog named Mickey…for Michelob
I had a handsome Big Black English Lab male named Grizz-Lee. He was absolutely the best dog ever. I usually called him Grizzer.
We used Remy Martin and Grey Goose for our male cats. New kitten names I like are Bombay or Tito.
