How Do You Pick The Right Name?

How do you know if you’ve picked the right name for your dog? That’s a great question.

It’s common to wonder if you’ve selected the right name for your canine companion. After years of helping new pup parents, we’ve come up with a few questions to ask yourself.

This is a foolproof way to find just the right name for your dog!

• Is it easy to say? Some names are great in theory but hard to say in everyday life. So before you finalize your name selection, 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. Instead, move on to something easier to say.
• 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. Especially with flower dog names!
• And finally, trust your gut. When you find the right name, you’ll know it.
