1Think about your dog’s personality. Observing your pup’s behavior and choosing a name that matches their personality is one way to narrow down name choices. Does your pet have a spunky attitude? Maybe something like Hawk or Wolverine can work. Are they silly or super chill? Perhaps Bacon or Autumn is more their vibe.[1]

2Consider your dog’s appearance. Yes, your dog may be brown, but what shade of brown? Does their coat have spots or a pattern? Picking a name inspired by your furry friend’s physical features can make it more specific to them. For example, if your dog has light brown fur, names like Amber and Butterscotch could be good options.

3Say the name out loud. You want to choose a name that rolls off the tongue and is easy to pronounce. Since you’ll be calling out your dog’s name daily, you want it to be something you enjoy saying and like the sound of. Saying the name out loud can give you a sense of whether or nor it feels right.[2]
