Tell the Truth and Name the Devil (Dog)
, by CYNTHIA JENSEN, 4 min reading time
Your new furry family addition is hopefully not a devil, but you do want to make sure to give him or her a name that will reflect their personality. Here is a list of names that have been requested as part of my personalization services over the last year.
Your new furry family addition is hopefully not a devil, but you do want to make sure to give him or her a name that will reflect their personality. The names we give our dogs are not always the “dog names” of the past – like Buster or Rover or Rex – but often cross over into what were traditionally people names, or even random words that mean something to us, our friends and our families.
As a maker of personalized dog bandanas and T-shirts featuring your pet’s names, I see my fair share of names that people call their dogs, cats, and even rodents or pigs! So, I thought I would give everyone a list of the names that have popped up in the last year, so you can have some inspiration on some potential doggie designations.
The top 10 most popular names:
- Bella
- Buddy
- Cooper
- Daisy
- Bailey
- Shadow
- Tucker
- Gus
- Luna
- Kiva
Creative multi-pet designations, or theme specific names:
