Pets & 4 Ways To Give Them The Best Names

By Robin Setser


Believe it or not, it can become quite the challenge to name a pet. It doesn't matter if you've had animals around your entire life or are just getting used to cats and dogs now. The truth is that deciding on the right name can be a challenge, but it doesn't have to be impossible. As a matter of fact, if you are stumped on a particular alias for your animal friend, here are 4 things that you should consider.

In order to name your pet, understand that simplicity often goes a long way. One of the reasons for this, according to companies the likes of Assisi Animal Health, is that pets respond better to them. To say that this will make training easier would be an understatement. In addition, it'll be easier for you to remember simpler names, not unlike a four-digit PIN for your debit card. Keep this in mind if you find the act of naming your new animal friend a challenge.

Pet names should be decided based on personality, too. After all, every animal showcases a certain demeanor that should make the name-choosing process easier. Let's say that you have a female dog that's loving and enjoys being around people; "Rosie" and "Millie" sound like appropriate names to give. Of course, these are just a few examples that will be able to reflect the personality of animals in the home.

What about the importance of names that don't sound like commands you'd give pets? Many owners have perfected the trick "come," which can be done at any moment. The trick in question might not be performed as well, though, if their name is something like "Chloe." When sounding them out, the beginnings are similar, meaning that your pet might become confused. Both new and long-time pet owners should be aware of this.

For those that are still stumped on names, you should take inspiration from media. It's not abnormal for pet owners to use names from their favorite books, movies, and TV shows, so why not follow suit? If nothing else, this will allow your animal friend to stand out, since names from the aforementioned media aren't exactly common. As a matter of fact, who's to say that you can't start a trend by doing so?
