Finding the perfect puppy dogs names doesn’t have to be hard.  Dogs better understand short commands so short names are easiest for them.  Simple names with one or two syllables are usually best.  Names for puppies shouldn’t sound like any commands. “Stacy” and “stay” sound too much alike and may confuse your puppy.

If possible, let your kids be part of the choosing puppy names process.  Kids like keeping it simple too.  Keep in mind that you’ll be using your puppy’s name in public.  “Stinky” may be cute among your immediate family or friends, but it won’t go over well at the veterinarian or around casual acquaintances.  You may think it’s an honor to name your pup after you’re favorite Uncle Arnold.  He might find naming your baby after him an honor, but naming your puppy after him, not so much.  Purebred Golden Retriever puppies are eligible to be AKC registered.  A hoity toity name will be required for that purpose but not for everyday use.

Get to know his personality for a day or two first.  Invariably, a couple things will stand out about your new puppy.  As you’re doing that, take these into consideration.  Appearance. What’s your puppy look like? His color, size, and his unique style might inspire a variety of name choices. “Stubbs” might be a great name for a dachshund pup.  Personality.  Given a couple of days, your new puppy’s personality is bound to shine through.  Try “Cuddles” for the cute little guy who just loves to get cozy and snuggle with you.  Or, perhaps “Puddles” for the pooch who can’t seem to find the doggie door.  Puppy dog breeds occasionally can provide name inspiration but often not.  Puppy names breed often have too many syllables to be a good name.
