What should be considered when choosing a dog’s name?
The name given to a dog is certainly the result of a personal choice, which can be the result of one’s imagination, the name of a famous dog, or even the name linked to a character or a beautiful memory.
Clearly, before choosing a name for your friend, you need to evaluate a few things since that name will accompany your dog throughout his life, you will say it thousands of times and with many different tones and intentions.
Name assonance is an important thing: It is better to avoid names that sound similar to other family members. This can create confusion and cause the dog to come to you every time you talk to the person with the similar name. For example, if there is a Henry, who is called Enri or Erri, in the house, and you call your dog Larry or Barry, you will notice this confusion.
In general, a short and recognizable name is the best option (for dog training purposes), but any name you give your dog will be fine anyway.
