Top Tips For Choosing Your Puppy's Name

Although there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to choosing your puppy's name, you may want to consider the following points when browsing:

  • Whichever puppy name you choose from the thousands available, try to select one that suits your little boy's personality.
  • Choose something that's not too long; two syllables are ideal, for example, Jodie, Charlie, Jenson, etc.

    A shorter name will make it easier for you and your pup during training; he'll learn to respond to the sound of his name much quicker if it's short.
  • Your dog's appearance or colouring could be your inspiration; for example, if he's a golden Cocker Spaniel, why not choose Goldie, Sandy, Buttercup or Ginger? If your puppy's coat is black, what about naming him Shadow, Midnight, Ebony, Jet or Blackie?
  • It's best if all members of your family are happy with your choice, and that they will be truly comfortable to use it in a public place - so involve everyone.
  • I recommend you shortlist several of your favourite boy dog names, make yourself a cuppa, relax, and then consider each one carefully before making your final choice.
  • If you're stuck, your puppy may be able to help you choose. Simply call your pup to you, using each name in turn from your shortlist, and see which one he responds to eagerly. You never know; he just might like the sound of one of those puppy names better than all the rest!

If you can't decide on just one name, why not put them all into a hat and let the youngest member of your family (or Grandpa) draw out the winning name?

Once you've chosen a winner from your shortlist, don't forget to keep using it so that your new puppy learns to associate the sound of his name with himself; for example, if you tell him he's a 'good boy', it would be better to say, 'good boy Jodie'.

I hope you enjoy searching through our great selection of boy dog names and quickly stumble across something that suits your pup perfectly.

Good luck!
