Piglet and Winnie the Pooh:
Your pet's character will tell you a lot
Observing a puppy or an adult dog allows you to decide on its name, which will fully correspond to its behavior. A well-chosen nickname can calm down a dog’s too tough temper or make the pet braver, or even harsher. That is, to develop those qualities that the dog does not have at all. The best nicknames for boys are:
- Excitement;
- Babay;
- Loyal;
- Hector;
- Derek;
- Eli;
- Jerome;
- Enthusiasm;
- Ibris;
- Coconut;
- Fierce;
- Mukhtar;
- Pirate;
- Satyr;
- Tiger;
- Fakir;
- Hunter;
- Sherlock.
Some of these names are suitable for dogs of the fighting breed, because they can be intimidating with their appearance alone.
You should be a little more gentle with girls. For them, with their special character, there are also interesting options:
- Beech;
- Bark;
- Zhadi;
- Call;
- Spark;
- Comet;
- Weasel;
- Mila;
- Tenderness;
- Bullet;
- Rocket;
- Smiley;
- Sonya;
- Tiger;
- Umka;
- Tsatsa;
- Shumka;
- Yula.
Note! Choosing a suitable name for dachshund puppies is complicated by the fact that, given their small size, they look impressive and strict.
Scientists have proven that the cellular structure of water (all living organisms are made of it) changes under the influence of a certain combination of sounds. Therefore, the correct selection of vowels and consonants in the name of a pet in one direction or another can influence its behavior and character.
Nicknames from films
A good idea for finding interesting pet names is to look at names from famous movies:
- Tortilla, Alice, Basilio, Artemon - from “The Adventures of Pinocchio.”
- Marley is a naughty dog from Marley and Me.
- Milo is the Jack Russell Terrier from The Mask.
- Mukhtar - from the film “Come to me, Mukhtar” with Yuri Nikulin.
- Rex is from the popular television series Commissioner Rex.
- The ball is from the film “Four Tank Men and a Dog.”
- Beethoven is a Saint Bernard from the film of the same name.
- Jill is the pet from the film The Bell, the Candle and the Book (1958). The cat who played him was named Paywacket in life.
- Crookshanks is a cat from the Harry Potter film.
- Stuart is a snow-white mouse from Stuart Little.
- Babe is a pig from the film of the same name.
Filya and Stepashka:
What not to call a dog
Don't forget that Russia is a multinational country filled with people of different religious and political views. The dog's nickname should not offend the feelings of passers-by.
Do not choose names that degrade the animal. If you call the animal a Profaner, a Weasel or a Loser, then those around you will have a corresponding attitude towards your pet. The dog's name should not contain swear words.
Constant use of profanity will result in the owner being issued a fine by the police. You should not name a dog after a dead animal. A dead pet cannot be resurrected, so it is better for a new pet to come up with its own name.
