For some time now you wanted to get a new dog, and after a while, your parents decided to adopt one for you. You are thrilled! You’ve been planning this for months now, and since you are a huge fan of Batman movies, so you’ve decided to name your dog “Joker.”

The puppy is finally here, and one week goes by when you realize “My dog is not a Joker, that name doesn’t suit him at all!” You want to change it now but cannot think of anything else. Here you can see that not everything that is pre-planned turns out so great.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Observe Your Pet’s Personality” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1522764131148{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;border-bottom-color: #c47a21 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column_text]One of the things you might want to do is just observing your furry friend. Try to figure out his personality traits. There must be some activities your new buddy enjoys, and that can give you some great ideas. Maybe he/she reminds you of another person you know or character from a cartoon or a movie you watched.

The name needs to grab their attention because it will be one of the crucial things when it comes to his training and responding to the commands.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Try Name Generator” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1522764070288{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;border-bottom-color: #c47a21 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column_text]Recently I’ve stumbled upon this interesting website that offers pet name generator, and maybe you should give it a try.

Most common names are popular for a reason, so if you want to play safe, you should consider some of the names listed on Statistic Brain.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Important Thing to Remember” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1522764027611{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;border-bottom-color: #c47a21 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column_text]

  • avoid names that sound like commands the dog will learn (example: Tray, it’s very similar to command: stay)
  • avoid “cute” names (the reasons are given in paragraph below)
  • look for short names that can be easily pronounced

Your pup or kitten will not stay fluffy and cute forever, he/she will one day turn into a full-grown animal, so before you name it “Fluffy” or “Baby” think again and maybe try something that will not sound too childish afterward.
