How to Name Your Dog

When it comes to picking cute dog names, it helps to rely not only on their gender and appearance but also on their personalities. To honor your pup’s individuality, you may want to go a notch higher than basic names like Brownie and Spot, and maybe look further than Shaggy or Rover.

Instead, why not pick a name that your dog will positively respond to? Dogs are quick to pick up on cues, and one cue you can lovingly provide would be a great name to call them by.

Remember: It’s all about the energy you give to a name and a name that gives your pet dog a positive kind of energy. Does your dog make you think of animated words like Skip, Bounce, Spark, Hop, or Hip-Hop? You can also call your dog Chase if he or she loves to chase objects around, like a rolling ball or a flying Frisbee.

When your pet dog happens to be the object of your affection, it’s reassuring to have a name to go by that’s nice and familiar. Usually, you’re moved to affectionately call your pets “Honey”, “Baby”, “Buddy”, “Sweetie”, or other terms of endearment, but these are not exactly the best dog names to shout out loud in a crowded place or in a park full of dogs. Otherwise, you’ll have a ton of pets headed your way and a bunch of people turning to see if it’s them you’re hollering at. Keep reading to see our extensive list of unique, adorable names for every kind of cute dog.
