Unique Male Dog Names: How to Pick Your Dog's Name
Giving your male dog the right name is very important.
You will want to choose his name well because you and your dog are going
to be companions for a long time. The name you select for your dog reflects
on you, your dog and your relationship.
How to Pick a Unique Male Dog Name
Some key considerations when
selecting a unique male dog name are:
• Choose
a name that is easy to say and call out, preferably one or two syllables.
• How does your dog behave?
What is his personality? You wouldn't name a dog 'Chaos' if he was sweet,
gentle and calm.
• What is
his breed, coat color and size? You wouldn't name a chihuahua "Fluffy"
(unless you are into irony).
• What is
his purpose? Is he going to be a guard dog, a hunting dog or a traditional
household pet?
• What is
his breed's origin? For example, if you have a German Shepherd, consider
German male dog names like Fritz. If you have an Irish Setter, maybe an
Irish dog name like Conan or Conner would suit him.
• Encourage
the whole family to take part in naming your dog
• Give your
dog a name that relates to or says something about your own interests
• Pick out
several favorite names, then try them on your new dog for a few days to
see what you like and what he seems to respond to.
•
Do you love the name? After all, you will be saying it daily (mostly with
pleasure, sometimes with exasperation) for the next 10-plus years.
• Avoid names that could be
confused with standard commands like come, stay, etc.
