Boy Dog Names
Dog owners will explain that there is no proven method for selecting a good name for a new dog or puppy. Whether they have to come up with girl or boy dog names, they will normally pick a name that sounds trendy or a name they like rather than putting some thought into what the name really means. Popular boy dog names have meanings, as do human names, so more often than not the meaning will not suit the dog it is given to. Here we give a guide to the top five boy dog names and what they actually mean.
Generally, first thing you have to do when you obtain a new dog or puppy is pick a name for him or her. For most dog owners, this doesn’t require much thought. They just choose a dog name out of thin air and that is the name by which the unfortunate animal will be known forever. However, there is something you should think about when going through dog names in order to make sure that you choose a suitable one.
First of all, dogs can sense attitude and tone of voice better than we are able to. If you choose a dog name for comic value or after someone you don’t like, your dog will know by your tone of voice that something is not right. As a result, their attitudes may change towards you or they may refuse to respond to your commands. Dogs’ names should mean something but should not be detrimental to their training, so you should really take the decision of the dog name carefully.
Although dogs are very clever animals, they can’t understand the same amount of data that we can. Therefore, dog names ought not be more than two syllables long. If they are more than that, most dogs will not respond. Max, Sam, Becky, Lady, Molly and the like are excellent dog names because they are short and the names are easily heard. They understand these dog names and that will improve your chances of training them successfully.
However, dogs’ names should help them mould a character of their own. Popular names don’t really allow them to do that, so finding something simple but unusual can help their characters grow a great deal without reducing their ability to respond to a command.
Max: This is perhaps the greatest boy dog name and the meaning is probably the reason why most people choose it for their hound. It literally means “the best”. After all, every dog owner thinks that their dog is the best.
Jake: Jake is short for Jacob, which means “champion”. This is an apt boy dog name, if your puppy has taken over the whole house within a short time of getting inside it!
Buddy: Buddy is a variation of Budd, which means “messenger”. This boy dog name may be apt for a working dog, or one you can train to bring in the newspaper every morning. It is a popular boy dog name and can be very widely found within the US.
Bailey: The boy dog name Bailey is French and means “steward”. This is pretty apt if your dog is responsible and sensible, so it is apt for a Newfoundland or collie puppy.
Sam: Sam seems to mean “an answer to prayers”. This is a good boy dog name for dogs that are easy to train and are largely quiet!
Few new dog owners consult a name’s meaning when picking a boy dog’s name, so instead of just going ahead with your first idea, it would be worth taking the time to choose a dog’s name that is really apt for your dog. After all, it doesn’t cost you anything to spend some time considering your dog’s name.
