THE NAME YOU WANTED TO GIVE THE KID
This is how one of my friend got the name of her dog. Around the age of 11, her parents told her that they went back and forth for ages over my name, finally settling on Loren but forever loving Autumn (and being doomed to never be able to use it, as I was the only girl). Since she knew pretty early on that she probably wouldn’t have kids of her own, she named one of her first dogs Autumn. The name fit her perfectly! So, if you and your partner have any discarded human names, there are some immediate contenders.
NAME BASED ON PERSONALITY
If you’re willing to spend some time with your pup before naming him or her, consider giving them a name based on their personality traits. Maybe they skip down the hall every time you come home (Skip) or have a funny bark (Bowzer). Maybe they’re super patient waiting for food or treats or with your young kids (Patience) or maybe the have the best overall disposition you’ve ever seen (Happy). Love to sleep all day? Snoozy! Loves to be right next to you? Cuddles! Won’t stop peeing by the door? Puddles! You get the idea. Maybe just don’t name your dog Sir Humps A Lot. Or do! Who are we to judge? Source: Dump a Day
