How to choose the right nickname

Breeders and ordinary owners have different methods for selecting nicknames. In the first case, all the canons and rules by which a particular nursery names its puppies must be observed:

The dog's nickname will begin with the letter that appears under the litter number in the alphabet (each kennel has its own order, the year of birth or month may be involved, one way or another, all puppies from a particular mother are named with the same letter);
There must be a name prefix that refers to the place of origin of the parents, the puppy’s homeland, the name of the kennel (it can be located either before or after the main nickname, for example, Vanessa iz Zolotologo Luch or Sheriff aga Alpha);
Animals registered in the club are not given prefixes, only nicknames in alphabetical order, they are registered in the stud books;
The full nickname should not exceed 40 characters, only 15 of them can be allocated to the prefix;
According to the rules, a name can only be used again after 30 years.

The owner who bought a puppy is faced with long, inconvenient names and, most often, shortens them. So the dog will turn from Patricia into Patty.

Under normal circumstances, of course, pets are not called pretentious phrases consisting of prefixes, endings, names of a club or kennel. But there are several recommendations that will help you choose a loud, successful nickname.

Scientists have long found out that a dog understands only the first 4 letters, therefore the nickname should be as short as possible with the emphasis on the first syllables. The best option would be two-syllable names.

Another rule is the minimal use of “growling” and “barking” sounds. This can provoke aggression or misunderstanding of the pet. In addition, you cannot use words that are consonant with basic commands (“Fu”, “Come to me”, “Nearby”, etc.), similar to the names of household members.

It will be better if the nickname reflects the character, appearance and pedigree of the puppy. Although if this recommendation is not followed, really funny nicknames can result. For example, if the mongrel is named Duchess.

Popular old Russian names

Among Russian dog breeders, it is not customary to call animals the same as people. However, it is quite possible to use native Russian names that have already fallen out of use as nicknames. Some of them have gained real popularity among animal lovers, but are still considered quite rare and original-sounding.

How to teach a dog a name

After much debate and searching, a name was chosen for the puppy. Now you need to accustom your baby to his nickname. This is an important stage of education, only after it can you begin training the baby: teaching the first basic commands, walks and socialization. In the process of habituation, a close relationship is established with the owner, and the baby begins to feel like a “person.”

Training rules:

They start almost from the first days of staying in a new home, from 2-2.5 months. The baby is given several days to get comfortable in the new space. You shouldn’t wait any longer; at the age of 3-4 months, the dog is already able to master the first commands;
If an adult dog comes into the house and its name is unknown, training begins immediately. Adult dogs are able to get used to a new name in a short time;
The nickname is pronounced several times, achieving the moment when the dog raises its head and makes eye contact with the owner. Repeat several times;
In the process, no diminutive nicknames are used, only the full form of the name;
In the future, interaction with the dog will take place according to the formula “name = attention”; there is no point in knocking the pet down;
All actions are carried out in a confined space so that nothing distracts the puppy from the process;
Reinforcement is given only after attracting attention and then after following a command.

Beautiful nicknames

Only the owner can judge the beauty of a nickname. Tastes could not be discussed. Consonance may seem strange and awkward to some, but another person will consider it the best option for their pet. To choose a really good-sounding nickname, you need to rely on associations with the puppy's temperament or appearance.

One option for a beautiful nickname could be the name of a familiar character from a book, film or animated series: Alice, Assol, Arya, Belle, Bunny, Buffy, Snow White (Bela), Belka, Hera, Hermi, Dakki, Daphne, Tinkerbell, Jacqueline, Zhanna, Zorka, Evie, Kiara, Kira, Lara, Lana, Lady, Lilith, Leia, Mini, Mitsi, May, Milka, Naomi, Nova, Wasp, Oda, Odetta, Pappy, Peppy, Rose, Rubby, Rachel, Sansa, Scarlet, Sabrina, Santa, Cyrus, Wesley, Ulli, Uri, Hannah, Shaya, Sharon, Yuna, Utah.

The names of flowers or rare plants are ideal for a girl: Agave, Quince, Azalea, Acacia, Begonia, Vanilla, Geranium, Carnation, Deutzia, Disa, Spruce, Christmas tree, Jasmine, Willow, Caria, Cinnamon, Lavender, Magnolia, Mistletoe, Radish, Plum, Beans, Violet, Persimmon, Needles.

Of course, what nickname will sound better than the name of the goddess of the ancient world: Athena, Asia, Aphrodite, Artemis, Hera, Gorgon, Hecate, Dryad, Demeter, Iris, Lethe, Moira, Nymph, Pandora, Persephone, Siren, Fiona, Ephra, Juno.

Russian nicknames for girls dogs

The Russian language is rich not only in common nouns; you can choose or invent an affectionate word that characterizes your pet and is familiar to the ear. Most often, Russian-language names are chosen for domestic, northern, and Caucasian breeds. It is important to take into account the color of the pet, the length of its fur, physical abilities, size, and character.

Now it is fashionable to turn to Old Slavonic vocabulary, choose outdated names, names of mythological creatures or archaisms: Mlada (young), Golub (modest), Bozhana (gifted), Mara (strict), Yasna (clear), Dara (gifted), Diva (mythological evil spirit), Mavka (mermaid), Yuda (mythological creature), Dogoda (god of the wind).
For large dogs accustomed to work and harsh conditions, strong northern names are chosen: Vyuga, Yurta, Taiga, Ada, Vesta, Aurora, Lada, Snowstorm, Speed, Strela, Askania, Yunga, Alaska, Naida.
For small and medium-sized breeds, you can choose a nickname that characterizes their color or disposition: Weasel, Smeshinka, Blob, Umka, Snowball, Squirrel, Drop, Bulka, Buka, Busya, Zlyuka, Bug, Zhulya, Chunya, Kapa, Paw, Doll, Beauty .
Some nicknames come from Russian names: Aska, Pashka, Dusya, Rusya, Fima, Julia, Eva, Laura, Nora, Lyusya, Ksenya, Senya.

Foreign with meaning

The best name for a dog is the one whose origin comes from the homeland of the breed. So, for example, a British nickname would be an ideal option for a Yorkshire Terrier, and a French one for a French Bulldog.

Now, along with the flow of Eastern culture, Japanese and Korean traditions are pouring into the Internet, in particular into social networks. This is also reflected in the animals' nicknames. Anime fans name their pets after their favorite characters or even just Japanese names.

German nicknames

The best German nicknames are those that characterize a specific dog:

Nelya (fast);
Muti (brave, courageous);
Agna (saint), Amelie (work);
Atala (nobility);
Bit (blessed);
Bruna (brown);
Wilda (wild, free);
Hertha (spear);

The French language is very melodic and beautiful, it’s no wonder that from its vocabulary you can choose elegant and beautiful names for sleek doggies: Avril (open), Adele (noble), Aimi (beloved), Anet (benefit), Blanche (white) , Giselle (collateral), Inez (chastity), Claire (clear), Luke (light), Polly (little), Sylvie (forest), Flo (flower), Esty (star), Elin (nobility).

English and American

English and American nicknames can be heard in any Hollywood film; such names are already becoming cliches, and have been among the top nicknames for several decades. Now, of course, they are used less often, but for now they are considered the most popular: Smallie (small), Lucky (lucky), Sandy (sandy), Shiny (shiny), Bright (bright), Cuckie (cookie), Goldie (golden-haired) , Jane (simple), Ricky (restless).

Of course, such names are best suited to representatives of Asian breeds. It would be inappropriate to name the Moscow Watch after “Aiko”.

This could be an original name for a pet:

Jeong (sincere);
Mei (flower);
Tu (star);
Thai (friendly);
Lan (peace-loving);
Wang (cloud);
Kim (gold);
Scourge (jade);
Mi (beauty).

Chinese may soon become one of the world languages; some people study it for self-development, while others study it to work with foreign partners.

One way or another, the Chinese nickname will suit any Asian breed:

Gee (pure);
Zhu (babmuk);
Kiang (rose);
Xu (snow);
Luli (jasmine);
Meili (beautiful);
Ting (grace);
Yubi (emerald);
Suin (simplicity);

Did you know?
Abigail is an old English name that literally means "joy." It is believed that its owner is endowed with an affectionate and kind character, is always cheerful, and gives joy and happiness to others. In some sources you can find another pronunciation option - Abigail.

With meaning

To choose a meaningful nickname, you need to take a close look at the puppy. This may take several days. We need to focus on his first habits, behavior, appearance, emotions that he evokes.

You can create a nickname yourself. To do this, they play with words. An original option would be to collect the first letters of all names in the family. Or a combination of the first part of the month in which the puppy was born and the end of the camp where the breed originated.

Of course, relying on words with a ready-made embedded meaning, it is easy to choose an interesting nickname that characterizes the pet.

Affectionate options

Menacing names are best left for “men.” And a “girl” dog—a “mongrel” or a purebred—should become the bearer of an affectionate and pleasant-sounding nickname. When selecting, consider three basic rules.

Soft consonants. It is a mistake to believe that the soft sign in dog names is an unclaimed letter. In "men's" - perhaps. But not in “women’s” ones. Such consonants will help soften any name, even a stern and confident-sounding one. A striking example is the names Alfa and Chanel.
No repetition of consonants. Some dog handlers and breeders believe that it is better to abandon names that contain two identical consonants. Double consonants make the nickname rougher. In addition, the pronunciation of such names is difficult for objective phonetic reasons. And yet, nicknames like Gretta or Stella are not outcasts in the general stream of names.
Softening vowels. Vowels can also “soften” the name of an animal. Listen: Nyusya, Lyusya, Mint... There are no hidden meanings or extravagance, but the affectionate nature of such nicknames is difficult to dispute.

There is a kennel in the United States whose owner awards puppies with the breeding prefix “All Stars”. At the same time, each baby becomes the owner of the name of a famous movie star or celebrity from the world of show business. As a result, the pet's full name may sound like All Star Ashton Kutcher or All Star Julia Roberts. Whether it is beautiful or not - everyone decides for themselves. But the fact that the owner of the nursery has found a win-win way to stand out from her competitors is a fact.

If, in searching for an answer to the question of how to name a “girl” dog, the rules and postulates are alien to you, just turn on associative thinking. For a bitch of an Alaskan Malamute or a husky, a nickname associated with snow—Blizzard or Blizzard—is best suited. When you see a miniature Chihuahua, you remember the movie “Legally Blonde” - you might want to give your pet the name Reese, making your four-legged “friend” the namesake of the actress who played the main role. As soon as you make your choice, announce it to your pet, clearly repeating the name several times. If the pet does not react, look further. If he happily wags his tail, you know: it’s a good nickname, you should take it.

Modern

Of course, some of the most popular modern nicknames are the names of actors and the names of their animals: Buddy (Bill Clinton’s pet), Pear (Vladimir Mashkov’s trier), Dusya (Alena Apina’s pet), Tequila (owner – Patricia Kaas), Puppy (Sandra Bullock) , Chloe (Lindsay Lohan), Lola (Hilary Duff).

Glamorous nicknames are often chosen for small decorative pets: Lucy, Kylie, Chris, Chili, Danka, Trixie, Alice, Phoebe, CC, Fi-fi, Ki-ki, Bazi, Darcy, Mitsi, Rochelle, Miley, Dolly, Molly , Jacqueline, Ginger, Linda, Tessa, Yanga.

Rare and unusual

Originality in choosing a name is always a plus. Because the frequency of using the same nickname can interfere with training, walking and simple interaction with the puppy. Other pets will run when called, or vice versa - the dog will run in its own name after another person.

An interesting rare name would be a professional word from the owner’s field of interest, for example, from astronomy: Omega, Andromeda, Comet, Alpha, Beta, Zeta, Delta, Iota, Sigma, Theta, Eta, Venus, Dia, Eris, Callisto.
Some breeders prefer to name puppies by brand names: Cola, Zara, Toyota, Mazda, Blanco, Bershka, Lacoste, Gucci, Chanel, Audi, Geely, Tesla.

You cannot judge the beauty of a name for a pet, because people have different tastes and different hobbies. Perhaps the dog will be named in honor of some great event or person who left a mark on the owner’s soul.

Should you give your puppy an unusual name?

We decided to give you an unusual nickname, something cool and funny, and you have every right. But remember that a dog is given a name for life. It will be quite difficult to retrain.

The names of favorite characters and fictitious ones can eventually become boring and boring to the owner. Perhaps a poorly thought out choice of name will put the owner in an awkward position on a walk, and others will be embarrassed to hear it.

Try to choose a name that is understandable to the dog and can be easily pronounced by the owner, since during training and on walks you will have to repeat it many times. Remember, if you get a dog for hunting or exhibitions, you should take the choice of a nickname as seriously as possible. We hope we helped you decide on a nickname for your four-legged friend.

A short introduction

Let's agree: giving cool nicknames to a dog is much more fun than naming a child. With a child, you know that their name will be judged on your choice for years to come by classmates, interviewers and others. But with a dog the rate is lower. No matter what you choose, everyone will think it's cute—so you might as well push the boundaries and choose a cool name for your dog. After all, you don't want every puppy in the park to answer your call.

Name for a calico cat

Rules for choosing a name

Each breeder, when searching for a nickname for a four-legged friend, decides for himself whether to come up with a simple, easy-to-call name or an ornate and long one. Jack or Ronaldinho? The owner’s intuition and life experience will help.

The first meeting with the owner is very important

Selection rules:

It is better to avoid long, elaborate designs to make it easier for a person to call out to a pet, and for the latter to respond to its nickname. In pedigree records, a Yorkshire terrier, for example, may be called Cleopatra, but in communication the owner calls it Cleo or Klepa.
There is no need to give a girl's name to a dog that is given to a family member or close friend. Confusion will arise, the animal will not understand whose name is: his or the household? Naming a dog Olya when you already have a wife, Olya, is a bad idea.
It is advisable that the nickname correspond to the weight and dimensions of the pet. For example, it is absurd to call a Central Asian Shepherd Dog Face, and a Chihuahua Panther.

Important! Dog trainers and owners of elite kennels often assign a nickname to puppies that begins with the same letter as the mother’s name. The name is official and is recorded in the dog’s documents.
