SMART DOG NAMES - 300 BEST NAME IDEAS FOR DOGS
Have you just got a puppy or are you thinking about getting one and don't know what to name it?

Wondering what names dogs hear?

First of all, congratulations on opening your arms to a creature who will stand by your side as a faithful companion for life.

And of course, a key element of his presence is his name, which the dog is able to learn, hear and thus obey basic commands.

There are many suggestions for dog names, but it's a good idea to not just pick one you like, but also make sure it follows some rules to make life easier for everyone.

THE RULES FOR NAMING YOUR DOG
The most basic rule is that the dog's name should not be too long (up to three syllables at the most), so that your dog can learn it. It is also good that it is a name, which does not resemble a command, because otherwise it will be logical for our dog to get confused and not be able to distinguish whether he is hearing his name or the command.

FEMALE DOG NAMES AND MALE DOG NAMES
There are some names, which are very classic for male and female dogs, such as

• Azores,
• Crafty,
• Olaf,
• Ralph,
• Lucky ,
• Barney,
• oscar,
• jack,
• Paco,
• spock,
• Jimmy,
• Nara,
• Pola,
• Fireplace,
• Mitsi,
• Lila,
• Zizi and
• Adel.

The reason these names are so common is no accident, as they are short names, easy to pronounce and sound, so it makes sense that they are preferred by owners and trainers.

Names based on some characteristic of the dog

It is not rare to give names to the dog based on some special characteristic. The protagonist is of course its color, so typical names are the

• blackie,
• White,
• Mavroulis,
• camel,
• Cinnamon,

• Leo,
• Dragon or
• Rigo,

or some particular characteristic of the dog is emphasized, for example that

• he sleeps a lot (Morpheus or Xaplas),
• that runs fast (Turbo),
• that he likes music (Bach, Beethoven),
• that he plays a lot with the ball (Zidane, Messi) or
• that it is too sweet, especially for female dogs (Sugar, Paste, Sweet).

If the owner of the animal wants to make a joke, he can come up with a dirty name, such as

• Caesar, a very small dog, or with an affectionate name, such as
• Fluffy or
• Zuzu, a big and strong dog.
