Choosing a nickname for a Shiba inu is not an easy task. The name must emphasize the persistent character inherent in the breed, or the history of its origin. When searching for a suitable option, it is best to stick to the Japanese line. The names associated with this country carry positive emotions. The Shiba Inu breed is exotic for our country, so the name must be appropriate. Due to the specific appearance of Shiba Inu dogs, nicknames, for example, of Russian origin are perceived comically.

Hunting nicknames

The dog is a hunter by nature, so the name is chosen taking into account its character and gut. Since ancient times, the Shiba Inu has been a hunting breed. This is reflected both in the dog’s behavior and in its appearance. That is why the name for a Shiba Inu should be special.

Interesting fact! Shiba Inus are hunting dogs. In ancient times, they were buried along with the hunters to whom they belonged. This is how the Japanese saluted their defenders and breadwinners.

Geographic nicknames

Sometimes a dog's name is assigned according to its place of birth or the genesis of the breed. In this case, the choice is clear. The Shibu Inu's Japanese roots give it full right to call the dog any Japanese name or word denoting the name of a specific area in this country. The names of Japanese islands, for example, are perfect for Shibu Inu dog names. The great thing is that they are universal and can suit both boys and girls.

General rules for choosing a name for a dog

Choosing a name for a dog is based on several rules. So, the name for a Shiba should be:

short – contain 1-3 syllables;
sonorous - use voiced consonants;
not to be like commands;
without several vowels in a row - they are difficult for the owner to pronounce, and difficult for the pet to hear on the street;
do not coincide with consonant words - Ukrainians perceive the word “Deya” as the question “Where am I?”

Additionally, diction problems are taken into account - names must be pronounced by all family members without hesitation. Children may not pronounce the letter “r”, adults may have a lisp or burr – they avoid “pitfall sounds”. These dog names are easy to remember and pronounce. They take into account that you will have to call a Shiba-ken on average 20 times a day. And this is 7,200 times a year, and 90,000 times during the life of a pet.

Loud pretentious names like Lucifer, Nefertiti, Apollo will not work either. Owners use diminutive variants when addressing their pet, and it is difficult to call any Michelangelo affectionately.

Famous Russian call signs are avoided - Polkan, Druzhok, Rex, Tuzik, etc. The noble Japanese dog is born for majestic names.

The most delicious nicknames

Whatever the characteristics of the dog, its origins or the history of the breed, first of all, they are cute creatures that are very loved by their owners. Dogs are often given nicknames based on some kind of treat. This is very cute and homey:

Cappuccino;
Malibu;
Pie;
Eclair;
Baileys;
Daiquiri;
Citrus;
Rosemary;
Mocha;
Cupcake;
Brownie;
Quiche;
Crepe;
Crumble;
Marshmallow;
Muffin;
Lassi;
Smoothie.

Happy mother and son - Kahlua and Donut.
Owners have the right to choose any names for their pets. However, it should be understood that the Shiba Inu is a breed with a special history. This breed carries within itself the culture of an entire people. In this regard, names for Shiba Inu dogs are chosen that are noble and harmonious. It is better to base it on the dog’s appearance, its color, as well as habits and individual traits. Dogs have character and unique habits. The same name can be surprisingly combined with the image of one pet and completely unsuitable for another.

What name for a Shiba Inu do you think would best reflect the breed's unusual history?

What should you not call it?

You cannot call a Shiba Inu by a human name, which is common in the region where the dog’s owner lives.
You should not take words from among religious terms as a nickname for a dog.
Cool names. A Shiba Inu with a name like “Dumpling” or “Puck” will look strange. These brave and noble dogs deserve majestic and beautiful names, and therefore their owners should not practice their wit at the expense of their pet.
Nicknames that have an offensive meaning sound ugly and rude. An owner who calls his pet some abusive word makes a very unpleasant impression on others.
Separately, I would like to touch upon foreign names. The habit of people giving dogs foreign names has long become a good tradition and there is nothing unusual or reprehensible about it. However, some foreign names not only sound unusual to the ears of a Russian person, but also evoke not the most pleasant associations. Of course, you shouldn’t call a dog that.

CAREFULLY!

According to canine rules, the same name should not be repeated in the kennel for thirty years.

What to name a boy

For the brave and active

For the benevolent and loyal

For the elegant and majestic

For lovers of nature and art

Among the Shiba Inu there are many lovers of beauty. These dogs know how to appreciate the beauty of nature and, like true aesthetes, have a craving for admiring art.

The following nicknames are perfect for them::

By color

Depending on the color of the Shiba Inu, you can choose a beautiful and sonorous name for your pet.

Ginger:

Zonar:

White:

For a red-haired pet, names such as Goldie, Doubloon, Reggie, Sunny, and Fire are suitable.

A dog of zonal color can be called Dusk, Mist, Smaug, Twilight, Foggy, Eclipse.

For a black and tan Shiba Inu, the nicknames Black, Dark, Nyx, Noir will be suitable.

A white or light fawn pet can be called Ice, Blonde, Zephyr, Light, Ray, Phantom.
