Top 1,200 Pet Names For The Year

Do you have a new pet and want to give it a special name that will stand out? Are you tired of the usual names people pick for their furry friends?

Most pet owners would get the needed inspiration either from old boyfriends, the seasons, fun/interesting/weird facts, road signs, their favorite drinks or foods, TV shows like Stranger Things, movie characters from the Marvel universe, popular pet names from around the internet, or human babies, In fact, everything around you can help with naming your pet.

But First, How Do You Pick the Best Pet Name?

If you’re a pet owner, then you surely know how hard it is to find the perfect name for your furry companion. Although you always want the name you find to be at least somewhat unique, classic names are also great and will light something in people’s hearts when you call your pet. It’s always great to find a name that will reflect the personality and temperament of your pet, but over the past few years, pet female dogs were usually named Lola, Molly, Lucy, Luna, or something similar, while male dogs were named either Bailer, Cooper, Max, or something along those lines.

Here are some tips for picking the perfect name:

• Don’t pick rhyming names. Names very similar to other names or that rhyme are usually very confusing for dogs. The perfect names should have unique vowels for each of the pets and shouldn’t be very similar or rhyme with one another.
• Test the name out and check out reactions. The name you choose should also be pretty easy to say out loud regularly. Your dog will have an easier time understanding and you will have an easier time saying names that are a maximum of two syllables long and have strong vowels. Say the name loud a few times and see how difficult it is to say. Keep in mind that you will use it for a long period of time ideally.
• A nickname should be a great choice. A lot of people consider using nicknames (or monikers) of their loved ones, like honey or sweety. Popular nicknames are also shortened first names like Michael turning into Mike or Mickey. You might even find a great nickname that is unique to your dog and that is a great way of expressing their unique personality and identity.
• Don’t ignore your pet’s looks and personality. A great way to find a name for your dog is to associate it with anything related to his personality. Their shape, size, their fun, silly, or sharp personality, can all help you find the perfect name. Taking all of this into account you really wouldn’t want to call a 120-pound beast tiny or a Chihuahua pooch Titan. There are also a few names that go very well with certain breeds, like Goldie being a great name for a Golden Retriever.
• This can also become a family event. Get the help of your entire family when trying to figure out the best name for the pet. You can spend some time together with your family and figure out the best name for the pet.
