There are many things to take into consideration when choosing a name for your dog. Avoid short, long names. Avoid names that begin in a blend of consonants or sibilant consonants. Your dog will be confused. It is a good idea to pick a short, descriptive name that does not reflect your dog's age or gender.
Avoid common human names
Some people believe that giving their dog a human name encourages them to treat their pet as a human. Some feel that it creates awkward social interactions. Kevin could even show up in the dog park. There are some benefits to having a name for your dog that is not a person's real name. You will be able to laugh at people. A German shepherd named Bob, for example, is bound to please the crowd.
You should also avoid using the same name as a human for your dog. This can cause confusion. Kit, a name that sounds like a sit to dogs whose ears have not been trained to distinguish different words from one another, is not a good choice. This can cause confusion in training. For this reason, some experts recommend using names that are based on hard consonants, such as s, k, t, or h. These names will make it easier for your dog to distinguish between the sounds and respond to you more quickly.
Avoid long names
Consider the personality and size of your dog before you name it. Dogs who are independent and dominant tend to prefer shorter names. A short and sweet title is best for a dog with personality. A long name may confuse your dog. Ultimately, you should choose a name you like, but do not feel compelled to use in the dog park. Do not give your dog a name sounding like a standard command.
If your dog has trouble remembering its name, it may become a nickname. Choose short and simple names instead of obscene or offensive phrases. If you are unsure of the pronunciation of your chosen name, try changing the syllables to create a nickname. If you're still struggling to come up with a name, you might consider naming your pup after someone close to you or a friend.
Avoid names ending in vowels
If possible, avoid giving your dog a name that ends with a vowel. This is because dogs are not able to understand the meaning of a name on its own. Dogs need to be taught how to name their names. Avoid naming your pet after historical figures or people with negative pasts. This advice is generally supported by dog experts, though there are exceptions.
In order to avoid confusion, avoid ending names in vowels. A dog's name that ends in a vowel will sound different when it is called by humans. As a result, it will be easier for your dog to remember it. Names should be distinctive and unique, in addition to being musical. If the names sound similar to words or phrases you will confuse your new dog about their meaning.
Avoid names that begin on a sibilant cononant or blend
A baby's name cannot include a sibilant (a sound that is made by adding two vowels to a single syllable) as its first name. Names that begin with a sibilant sound should be avoided as much as possible. These names should usually end with an es or Z. Plurals should be formed by adding an extra apostrophe after each s.
If you're going for a name that sounds like a child's voice, you'll want to avoid a sibilant consonant, as this sounds less attractive than a name with a hard consonant. Choose a name that begins with a palatal consonant. The same goes for names that begin with a sibilant blend.
