Bringing home your puppy is such an exciting experience. You finally get to introduce this little guy or gal to their forever home. But with the process of gathering all the supplies, finding a vet, and paying the breeder, you have other things to straighten out, too.
Their name sets the foundation, giving them a firm identity in your home. This decision isn’t an easy one for most people. So, we gathered up some names we think would work well for your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
How to Pick a Name for Your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
When you are picking out Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy names, it might be hard to make a final decision. After all, there might be so many you like—or you might not think any of the ones you find sound fitting.
So, while you’re mulling over names, here are some things to keep in mind.
Pick a Name You’ll Enjoy Using: You are the person who is going to say your dog’s name more than anyone else. It shouldn’t matter what other people think about it—pick a name you are crazy about. It could be one you had stowed away for the perfect pet or one you just liked the sound of. There doesn’t always have to be a rhyme or reason as to why something strikes your taste.
Pick a Name Based on Heritage: If you want the name to have a special meaning to the breed, try to pick a name from the country of your dog’s origins. In the instance of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, they are from Great Britain. There are plenty of choices to think about!
Draw Out of a Hat: If you have several names you like and you simply can’t decide—don’t. Put all the names in a hat or choose a random picker online to decide for you.
