Puppy Dogs Deserve Great Names
Puppy Dogs - Cool Dog Names Inspired by Popular Baby Names

Big or Little, a Dog With a Great Name is One Proud Pup!
           Bestowing a great name upon a precious new puppy is the first step to its permanent indoctrination into a new family. Baby names can help. 
​  
          Whats in a name? Names carry meaning and symbolism, personal influence and sentiment. But for a dog, the best names are also rhythmic. The way a name rolls off the tongue can effectively demand the dogs attention and interest.

Puppy Names Can Be Baby Names

          Since dogs were first domesticated many thousands of years ago, humans 
have been naming them. But a dog doesnt have to be a Rover, a Spot, or a Fido. 
That new puppy can proudly boast some of the most popular baby names and 
still be top dog in the neighborhood.

          Dogs have personalities as uniquely individual as those possessed by 
humans. Sometimes just looking into a dog's face inspires a name. Or perhaps 
it's the way he wiggles when he walks, the way he cocks his head, or the way 
one ear appears to be tuning into a far-away radio station, that can trigger the 
perfect name. But if that name doesnt immediately come to mind, considering 
baby names is a great way to spark inspiration.

Top Dog Name Tips and Characteristics

          There are many human names that work well for dogs, but two-syllable names may help with quicker recognition and response. The sing-song aspect of a two-syllable name helps the dog recognize it. A single-syllable name, like Jake or Bear, provides less opportunity to customize the sound of the name, and when trying to get a new puppy to come when called, an extra syllable can help.

          Because dogs are primarily non-verbal animals, the tone and sound of the name is what grabs their attention. The actual name is secondary to how that name is delivered, and its the overriding sound that matters most. For example, a car-ride-loving dog may go crazy when hearing the words "road trip" because he associates the sound of those words with the pleasure of the car ride. But even just the sounds, delivered in the same tone of voice that would be used to say "road trip, would likely perk up those hound ears right away.

          Sometimes, just sitting with a puppy and saying consonants and vowels will help identify sounds he readily responds to. Finding a name that incorporates those sounds is the next step to giving that puppy a leg up on learning.
