Good pet names!

[Jinx]

Denmark and I are going to be adopting a dog in a few weeks. It will be a shelter dog, but we might change the name depending on if it's dumb or not.

So far we've come up with these alternative names:

Girls: Luna, Eowyn, Nymeria
Boys: Aragorn, Hodor


What are some names that you like for pets? Which of these names do you like best?

Spunky is the best pet name ever.

Girl: Belle, Molly

My bf is dead set on naming our future Newfoundland Hodor. >.>


Name it Bill Murray for a boy

Name it Tina Fey for a girl. Or.. You know. Daenerys or Blake Lively.

I rename all of my shelter animals. That said, I find it really hard to just generate names. I like to customize them to the pet in question. Tell me what type of dog, or better yet, show a picture or vid, and I can give it a spiffy name.

In all seriousness, you do need a couple of days to see how the dog's personality is and go from there.

That's typically how my family has always named dogs whether they were rescues or bought from a breeder.

You just need to pick your dog, get him or her home, give it a few days to acclimate to your household and its new environment and really see its true personality before you name it.

I agree with Skyblade, I'm not good at coming up with names until I have some interaction with the thing I'm trying to name!

[Shorty]

I tend to go for mythical figure names and demon names. I've thought of a name for my next kitty to be Zorya/Zori, and my next puppy will be the exception to the mythical figures as Bane

I also would be open to star/constellation names because I think they are lovely.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

I'd really have to see and interact with the pet before the name ideas start coming to me.

Currently our two cats are named Martin and Lawrence.



I really thought Martin was going to be a Simon, but it just wasn't the right name after we got to know him.

[Psychotic]

What about Robert or Samantha?

[blackmage_nuke]

Spot. Especially if it has no spots

[Shiny]

Luna is the best out of those choices imo. Stick with one or two syllable names.

[Loony BoB]

Angelo, because Final Fantasy.
