We should not only like the name of our pet, but also reflect the character and personality of our dog. Most often, people are guided by their taste, calling their pets after their favorite film or book characters. We are equally eager to focus on the classics, choosing traditional names such as Reksio, Azor, Misiek, Łatka or Mucha. However, when choosing such names, you need to take into account their popularity – when walking or playing on dog runs, we can meet many pets with just such names, which will confuse our pet. Therefore, it is better to be creative, choosing a less popular name.

Simple rules to take your photos to the next level:

So what dog names should you avoid?

In addition to the aforementioned Azor or Reksio, names such as – in the case of females – Sonia, Luna, or Tina, are also unflaggingly popular, and in the case of dogs, the leaders are: Max, Roki, Dżeki and Nero.

When choosing a name for your dog, it is also worth remembering that they respond best to short and voiced names that contain sounds such as “r”, “j”, “j”, “ks”. Dogs do not understand the meaning of our words, and a short and sonorous name is easier for them to remember and also more convenient to say to the calling owner.

We must also be aware that the name of our pet is not only a showcase of our dog, but most of all ours – it proves our preferences and even personal culture. So we should not call a dog by names that associate with a social or ethnic group, or by curses in other languages.
