Sound names for dogs. How to name a dog, advice from cynologists

People have long paid attention to the connection between name and character, and this applies not only to human names, but also to the names of animals, in particular, dogs.

The name of a dog is not just a set of sounds, and not even just a means of communicating with a pet. Through the name of the animal, we express our attitude towards it. A dog's name can tell a lot about us: about our habits, character and even hobbies, as well as our sense of humor and erudition.

But on what principles should you choose names for your pets? What should you pay attention to in the first place, how best to call the bitch with the original name? This is what we will talk about now.

How can you call it?

First of all, let's decide on the criteria by which people choose nicknames for their dogs and what they pay attention to.

In general, before you start thinking about a name for a dog, you need to decide for yourself: do you want to give your pet a traditional or original nickname, which, perhaps, no other dog in the world will have? If you are satisfied with the first option, then just open any of the lists of popular dog names and choose the one that you like.

But what if you want to give your baby a really original nickname? Where to find such a name?

There can be a lot of options here.

Name of the heroine of the book or movie . Everything is simple. Suppose you like some book or some movie (TV series, cartoon, anime, etc.). Why not name a puppy-girl after your favorite heroine? Moreover, most of these names are beautiful and sonorous.
Assol, Katniss, Arwen, Hermione, Trinity, Fiona, Sakura are just a few of the names taken from literary works and from films or series.
Music and stage . You can name a dog after some famous singer or opera diva.
For example, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Britney or even Montserrat.
place names . Montana, Riviera, Jakarta, Etna, Corsica, Barcelona are some of the geographical names.
Story . You can name a dog in honor of some famous queen, queen, empress, warrior.
For example: Nefertiti, Josephine, Lucretia.
Nicknames in honor of world brands . Such as, for example, Fanta, Bounty, Vista, Nokia, Chanel.
"Plant" and "Animal" nicknames . These include names such as Hortensia, Orchid, Azalea, Jasmine, or like Panther, Panda and even Anaconda or Mamba!
mythological names, that is, the names of goddesses from different pantheons, as well as nymphs, fairies, dryads and other similar creatures.
This category includes such names as: Artemis, Vesta, Freya, Astarte, or Danae, Circe and even Lada.

As you can see, there can be a lot of options for sources of original nicknames, and this is not all of them. You can name a dog after a sports star, after a fairy-tale creature, after a musical instrument ... But you never know after someone or something else, even after your favorite food or drink. The main thing is that not only you, but also the dog likes it, it is easy to pronounce, and it is also sonorous and beautiful.

Here are some of the huge variety of nicknames on a wide variety of topics. As they say, for every taste! And we will start our list of nicknames with foreign names, which have long been especially popular as dog nicknames.

Conclusion

Summing up, I would like to say more about what a really good nickname should be and what should be guided by when choosing it. Here are a few simple rules that will help you choose the right nickname for your girl dog.

Consider character. If you want your dog to grow up serious and guard your home well, do not give her, even as a joke, frivolous nicknames. And if, on the contrary, you want your dog of a decorative breed to be cheerful, kind and affectionate, give her the name Thunderstorm or Storm.
The nickname should be sonorous and easy to pronounce.. Also, not too long. Therefore, do not give your pet names consisting of more than three syllables as a home, unofficial nickname.
If possible, do not call a dog by a human name, especially one that is widespread in your area. If you really want to give a puppy a human name, then it is better to opt for some rare, not often found. This will help you avoid embarrassing situations during walks, as well as at exhibitions and training grounds.
The name should please not only you, but also your pet. The fact is that sometimes there are cases when pets, for some reason known only to them, refuse to respond to their nickname. If your girl has been ignoring her nickname for a very long time, then, apparently, it is best to change her name, choosing one that your pet will also like.

The name of a puppy can tell a lot about its owner. About his thoughts, even to some extent about character. But most often the name-nickname for the puppy itself comes to the head of the owner.

All you need is a little imagination! This article will discuss the names for dogs - boys.

How to name?

The main thing is where you purchased your dog. If he is thoroughbred and bought in a nursery, then. Most often it is intricate and quite complex. Many owners are trying to pick up a name derived from this nickname. Or they come up with an abbreviation if the nickname consists of several words. In fact, it is not necessary to do this at all.

You can choose a unique nickname, but you should remember the simple rules:

Still, it is worth calling the animal by human names. Does it look a little strange if a girl in the park calls, for example, Seryozha, and a Doberman comes running to her call? Separately, I would like to emphasize that the name of the dog should be different from the name of the neighbor in the area of the apartment where the owner of the dog lives, because few people will be pleased to know that the animal was named after him 🙂 It is better to choose exclusively dog nicknames. For example, Lord, Richie, Court.
Any dog needs to be trained and trained in the acquired skills. That's why nickname must not contain commands. For example, if the owner teaches the dog the “Fu!” command, then the nickname Land mine or Funtik will confuse the animal with this command.
Dogs don't think the way humans do. Therefore, it is better to give them a name of a maximum of two syllables, and having loud sounds in itself. For example, Buran, Bim, Jack.
The breed, appearance, character, and other features of the pet should also be taken into account.. For example, dimensions. True, it is better to choose a neutral nickname for the pet. Because the owner looks strange, walking with a small dog, and calling her with the words: “Poseidon, come to me!”. Although this testifies to the owner's sense of humor. Just like calling a small dog Terrible, Giant or Gulliver. You need to choose the most characteristic feature that will not change over time. For example, Chernysh or Belyak are excellent nicknames for pure black or white puppies, respectively.
It is absolutely not necessary to name the puppy as soon as he crosses the threshold of the owner's apartment. Better to watch his behavior and make the final decision.
There is no need to invent anything special if you are the owner of a pooch. She has the same right to a beautiful name as her thoroughbred counterparts.
If you cannot find a single suitable word in Russian, foreign dictionaries at your service. Sometimes a simple designation of a characteristic, for example, a color in a foreign language, looks original and fresh. For example, Schwartz is German for "black". You can use this name if your dog is black.

Why is it important that the name for the pet be short and as sonorous as possible? Because even if the grown-up puppy is busy with something (most often, passionate about the game), he could hear the call of the owner.

Cool and funny

If the owner of a "man's friend" called her cool, this may indicate a well-developed sense of humor he has. But choosing a beautiful, yet cool name for your dog may not be such an easy task. Although often it comes to the mind of the future owner by itself. Here are just a few of them:

Short

The name of the dog should be short, max 2 syllables. In order for the dog to remember it better and faster. And the owner did not have to spend a lot of time to call his dog.

The future owner can name his dog as follows:

Alan,
Alyur,
Breeze,
Venya,
damon,
James,
Friend,
Jam,
Charles,
Queens,
Mulder,
Malik.

Original

Non-trivial nicknames speak of a good sense of humor of dog owners. But you need to be more careful. Because not everyone can understand how it was possible to call your dog, for example, Rodbiter? Yes, and you need to think three times before giving such a nickname, imagine how you shout “Pants-biter, do not gnaw the curtains” 🙂

Best

This is a matter of taste for each owner of the dog, and its features. Let's name the most popular of them, of those that have not yet been named.

Argo,
Rich (from the English "rich"),
Amur,
Caesar,
Oscar,
Marseilles,
Simon,
arnie,

Rex (in Arabic it means "king"),
Hachiko (especially it became popular after the release of the film of the same name),
buddy,
teddy,
Charlie,
Zeus (it looks especially funny if a very small dog has this name),
Kid (If the “dog” of the Alabai breed bears this name, then similarly),
Sharik (out of competition in the Russian Federation 🙂).

Everyone decides for himself which dog name is unusual and interesting for him. Two dozen more names should be added to the already existing list.

Augur - that was the name of the priest who protected the people from unsuccessful deeds.
Argus - that was the name of the giant, who had a hundred heads, he was the personification of the starry sky,

Cool

Again, the concept of "cool" is different for everyone. You can call almost all nicknames from the lists cool for someone. Let's just add a few more cool names to the list.

Rare

They are given by those owners who want to make their boy stand out from the crowd, to make him unique.

For example, a car lover might name a dog after a favorite (and/or desired) brand of car, a traveler after a place they have visited and/or want to visit, book or movie lovers after their favorite character. For example, rare nicknames can be:

in honor of the pagan gods - Perun, Yarilo;
the names of dogs taken from mythology or other languages that are incomprehensible to the main part of the people are unusual: Chur, Ragnarok, Bacchus, Jarakhsus;
there may be a series of sounds to which the pet reacts, and then it becomes his nickname;
Separately, I want to say about the comic "names". They will bring a good mood to the house. For example, chow chow or Russian terriers can be jokingly called Teddy, Barsik or Pinky.

noble

Usually they arise if pets are officially registered. So, for example, the nicknames of puppies of the same litter in the kennel should begin with one letter. The nicknames also have an additional prefix from the breeder.

But still, in ordinary life, a short, sonorous name is used. This is dictated by the peculiarities of the dog's perception. They can perceive only the first syllables of their nickname. Therefore, a double name like Don Fleming Pand remains only for the owners. Or Double - Trouble (translated from English it means "double trouble")

Interesting

The most interesting, beautiful and noble names for a male come from the names of gods and war heroes. For example:

Geb is the god of the earth in Egyptian mythology.
Gonor - the god of honors among the ancient Romans,
A hero is a legendary king or hero, who was glorified by his exploits,
Hercules is a hero who accomplished many feats in ancient Greek mythology,
Diomedes was a hero of the Trojan War
The centaur is a legendary creature, the embodiment of wild power,
Neptune - Roman god of the sea
Odysseus was a hero of the Trojan War
Odin is the supreme god in Norse mythology,
Perun is the main god in Ancient Russia.

Conclusion

Giving a name to a pet is not always an easy task, but a very important one. If it does not come immediately, then you need to choose based on the breed of the dog-boy, from the most characteristic feature (character or appearance), or you can use examples of celebrities who have a dog.

dog character depends on 5 main components:
1 - breed(it is of paramount importance for determining the temper and habits of your four-legged friend);
2 - heredity(it has long been noticed that parents pass on their children character and habits);
3 - upbringing(the diligence of the owner of the dog can significantly correct its behavior);
4 - Date of Birth(American astrologer and veterinarian Donald Wolf came to the conclusion that the character of a dog depends on zodiac sign under which she was born).
Fifth , but not the least important component for determining the character of a dog is its nickname . The main feature of this component is that you can greatly influence it at the very beginning of your pet's life.

Dog's nickname- this is not an empty set of sounds, but coded information, a sum, of genetic phonemes that dominate the animal, forcing it to behave this way and not otherwise. As the name of a person carries information about a person, so the nickname of a dog carries information about the character of the animal. Giving a name to a pet, put your soul into it. Do not use the first words that come across. Remember that you will have to use this nickname for a very long time.

By the way, if you are already looking for a nickname for your dog, then you will soon have a pet. Don't forget to create an individual vaccination schedule using an automatic form specially designed for you.

Advice:
There are many nicknames and ways to choose a nickname for an animal. We can give you some advice on how to choose the right nickname for your four-legged pet. Dogs remember much faster and respond better to nicknames that begin with such consonants as b, d (especially j), f, p, h (not bad if they are inside the nickname), but worse - to vowels and to such consonants, like x, w, w, s. However, if you take a purebred dog, you will be informed in advance which letter you need to come up with a nickname for the pet. But this nickname will only be entered in the documents of the dog, in life you can call your pet by any other name. Remember that you should not name a dog after a deceased or missing pet or person, as this name can already carry negative energy.

The dog has been man's true friend for centuries. This animal has everything: love, courage, and loyalty to its owner. Some dogs hunt, others protect the territory, others are excellent companions. Among four-legged friends there are nannies, guides and rescuers. A person chooses a breed that matches his lifestyle, character and temperament. This is how true harmony and understanding between a dog and a person is achieved. It is noticed that animals often look like their owner.

When deciding to have a pet, many are faced with the question of choosing a nickname. Some discuss this issue at a family council, others look for the answer in books or the Internet. The nickname is the name with which the dog will live on, and the owner will have to pronounce it many times a day. Therefore, it should not cut the ear, arouse bad feelings and negative memories.

Dogs have different purposes in their origin:

Watchdogs.
Hunting.
Companion dog.
Service.
Shepherds.
Fighting.
Rescuers.
Riding.

How to choose the right name for a dog?

The nickname for the dog should correspond to its size, pedigree roots, status and future purpose. If this is a Doberman, then such a beautiful and stately dog should be given a nickname that can emphasize its grace. For the boxer, we will focus on a strong physique. For hunters, we choose a sonorous name. The watchmen and guards will have nicknames that are understandable and clear. And companions will gladly respond to the names of celebrities and artists.

Be sure to study the history of the four-legged friend breed. Look into his eyes! They will guide you and help you make the right choice.

It is not advisable to come up with a nickname for a pet before it appears in the house. You do not yet know his character (and this is very important). We must remember that choosing a nickname for dogs is a responsible step. Astrology claims that the received name affects the future character of the pet and its future life.

Any owner wants a complaisant, mentally balanced friend to grow up next to him. Therefore, it is not necessary to call him the Devil or the Bes. Choose beautiful, bright and sonorous names. Which are nice to say. Avoid hissing letters and harsh endings. Say the chosen nickname aloud several times, try to shout it out loud. It happens that the dog does not respond to the chosen nickname and unexpectedly responds to another. She has a choice too!
