Forget Popular Puppy Names: Three Steps to Choosing the Best Cute Puppy Names
Popular puppy names can be silly. They can be serious. They can be long, short, cute or dignified. How do you know which of the thousands of names you could choose from is right for your pup? Choosing the best of cute puppy names is easy when you follow these three steps.
1. First, you need to let your puppy “tell” you what name is right for her.
No, she won’t open her sweet little mouth and say her new name. (If she does, call the media and your accountant, because you’re about to become famous and rich!) But your puppy can tell you what name will suit her.
how? By just being yourself.
Great puppy names start with behavior. You let your puppy’s personality choose his name.
For example, my last dog, Muggins, a Springer Spaniel, loved to sneak up and pounce on them. She “robbed” her siblings multiple times in the pen before we brought her home.
After we got home, she continued to “rob” us. My husband at the time wanted to name her Robber because of all those robberies. And we thought of Cups because she just had the cutest little cup (face). But I remembered the word “muggins” from Cribbage, and when I looked it up and saw that it meant fool or fool, I knew it suited her because she was so easily fooled when she was little.
The way to play the personality name game is to observe your new being for a few days. Just observe.
2. After you have watched your puppy for a while, write down every word that comes to mind as you watch it. Sometimes adjectives like sleepy, lazy, or cheerful will come to mind. Sometimes you’ll see character traits that are nouns like spirit, patience, or courage. Sometimes you’ll think of a person your puppy reminds you of, or a character in a book.
Whatever comes to mind, scratch it. Trust me when I say that if you do this, you will have a list within a few days that has at least two or three dozen names on it. More than likely one of these names is the perfect name for your new puppy.
3. While making your list, get input from others as well. Your new fur child is likely to have many visitors. Let your friends and family suggest a name. They may see qualities in your new dog that you don’t. These qualities will give them a name that just might be perfect.
If you follow these three steps, you can let your puppy’s personality and actions lead the way and you won’t have to worry about popular puppy names. The best cute puppy names will be revealed to you as you have fun with your new puppy.
