Apparently a lot! This is serious business naming your pet. Dog
names or pet names in general can be a point of contention in some households.
What to call your new family member? Who gets to choose it? Will it be something you got from a movie because
you loved that character or will it be a name that has a special meaning to you?
Whatever the choice, pet owners take this job very seriously.
Men love to
choose masculine names for their pooch, something they don’t want to feel
embarrassed about yelling out down at the local dog park, like “Hey Max come”
or “Good boy Hercules” however, some women love naming their little fluff balls
after their favourite handbag or fashion house, like “Oh Good girl Chanel” or
“you are my little princess Gucci”. Kids- if you let them will be the most
imaginative in giving a pet a name...most likely something from a TV show or
movie, like “Milo, Woody, Thor” I have heard many unusual Dog names, names that
reflect the owners personality and interests. A name says a lot about someone,
and your dog’s name will tell people a lot about you. Are you choosing a name
for its strength and toughness, like many owners of Rottweilers and large breed
dogs? I don’t think I have ever heard of a Rottweiler with a name like “Snuggles”
or “Muffin”. You need to find a name that will grow with your dog. Something
that sounds great with a little furry puppy may not translate well when you
have a 40kg adult dog with a name like “peaches”. If you are feeling very
adventurous you can always take the comedic route and like most celebrities do
with their own children, name pets with unusual, comical or just crazy out
there names. Some examples are: 50 Cent & Eva Longoria both have dogs named
Oprah, Paris Hilton’s Chihuahua is Tinkerbelle, or Adam Sandler’s Bulldogs
called Meatball & Matzoball. It is also true that as pets are being seen as
a major part of the family the trend in choosing Human names are now replacing
traditional pet names in Popularity. Below are a couple of factors you may want to
consider when choosing a name for your Dog?

embarrassed calling out at the local park.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->·
<!--[endif]-->Ensure that it will suit the breed you have
chosen and the size it will grow to.
Whatever
your method of choosing the perfect name, put as much love and thought into it
as you have in making the decision to get a dog. Choose something that will
last the many years of doggie love you will have with your new friend.
When
it comes to naming your newest family member it’s your personal choice as you
will ultimately know what fits best.
Here’s a list of the top 10 puppy names 2012 According to Vetstreet.com;
