It can be difficult to come up with a name for your boy dog, and you’ll need a lot of inspiration and go through a lot of names before you find the right one. You’ll be shouting it through fields, using it on a regular basis, and teaching your dog with it, so choosing the right name is crucial. A good name will greatly enhance your communication with your dog.
Consult Your Family
We’ve discovered that going through as many as possible and shortlisting a few, then consulting your partner and family to see what they want is the easiest way to find the right boy dog name.
Boy dog names, like baby names, appear to become common after major events such as sporting events, film launches, and television shows.
These are all excellent tools for coming up with the right name for your male dog. Giving your dog a human name, such as Lucas, Thomas, or Oliver, is a growing trend that stems from the humanization of dogs and their acceptance as family members.
Shorter Names for Dogs
Short names with hard consonants are preferable; names like Alfie are common and easily understood by dogs. It would be easier for you to speak quickly to get your dog’s attention if you use a shorter name. At the end of the day, you should be able to yell it across a field with ease.
Avoid names that sound similar to commands (stop, sit, stay, wait, come, etc.). Names like Joe or Kit sound similar to “no” and “sit,” causing the dog to become confused. Avoid names that are too similar to those of family members; for example, if someone in your family is named Frank, don’t call your dog Hank because it’s too similar and could cause confusion.
