Pug names: How to choose a name for your dog?

You may not know this but there are some things which should be taken into consideration when naming a dog. These recommendations are simply to give your dog a better chance at remembering its name. Take a look at our list of some things to consider before naming your dog;

  • Choose a short name: the most important thing to remember when naming a dog is to choose a short name. This is because it’s difficult for dogs to identify with longer names. Therefore we recommend choosing a name with one or two syllables.
  • Keep in mind your dog’s own characteristics: one of the simplest and best tips when naming a dog is considering your dog’s character. Take into account your dog’s size, breed, age and behavior in order to pick the most appropriate and unique name for your pup!
  • Do not name your dog after a friend or family member: have you ever heard of dog’s named Frank, Ricky or Sasha? Calling your dog after a family member or friend is actually quite common. We, however, recommend that you don’t opt for a name that may confuse your dog. For example, naming your dog after your sister, brother or cousin will make it more difficult for your dog to distinguish who is who in the family.
  • Avoid nicknames: if you give your dog a name stick to the name itself. Your dog will identify with the name that you use the most.
