How To
How to choose a name for your pet.
The most important decision you will make when adopting an animal is choosing a name. You want your pet's name to reflect their personality.
You need to think about how others may refer to you. The last thing you need to think about is how you want to be referred. What do you prefer, for example, "dog" or pet?
Here are some tips to help you get started:
-
You should choose a name that suits your dog's breed. If you're familiar with the breed (e.g. Labradoodle), search for names associated with it. Or ask someone who knows dogs well to suggest a name based on the breed.
-
Take into account the meaning behind the name. Some breeds have names that are based on people or places. Others are nicknames. A Labrador Retriever, for example, was given the name "Rover" as he was always running around.
-
How would you like to be called? Would you rather call your dog "dog", or "pet"? Would you call your dog "Puppy" or "Buddy"?
-
Include the first name of the owner. It's sensible to give your dog an owner's name. But, don't limit yourself by limiting your family's names. Your dog could become part of your family as well!
-
Keep in mind that many pets have multiple names. A cat could have several names, depending on her location. While she may be called "Kitty Cat" at her home, she might go by "Molly" when visiting her friends. This is especially true if the cat lives outside. They often adopt their names to fit their environment.
-
Be creative There are no set rules. You just need to choose something that is unique and memorable.
-
Be sure to check that your chosen name does not already belong in the hands of another person or organization. This will ensure that you don't accidentally steal another's identity.
-
Last but not least, don't forget to remember that choosing a name can be a complicated process. Sometimes it takes time before you can determine if the name is right. Keep at it until you find the right match.
