How to Name Your Dog

You might wonder, how will you ever pick the final name? After all, there are so many good suggestions. Here are a few ways you can trim the fat and finalize the pick.

Draw a Name from a Hat

Go old school. Take your favorite names, write them down on a piece of paper, and stick them in a hat or bowl. Fluff up the names really well so you don’t know what’s what. Without looking, put your hand in, and snatch up a piece of paper.

You can leave it up to fate, and whatever you draw is what the name will be—easy peasy!

Take an Online Poll

Need some input? Take an online poll! Many social media platforms have a feature where you can create a poll with options and allow people to vote. You might also be able to ask for suggestions if you’re open to new ideas.

It’s a good way to get others involved, and it could provide a source of inspiration that you didn’t have otherwise.

Use a Website

There are tons of websites out there that will gladly pick a name for you. You input all of your names, click a button, and voila! You have your selection. Isn’t technology so helpful?
