I can't think of a dog name. Help?

Question

I am so stressed! I got a new puppy for Christmas and I've been trying to think of a name but I can't think of one. Or I can't find the right fit. Every time I think I've find the name, I look at him and say it but it doesn't feel right. There is a name I'm searching for and I'm not sure if I've found it or not. As well, everytime I think of the perfect name I can't use it because someone else I know uses that name for something or it reminds me of something. I want a more unique name then Max and I don't like people names for pets like Becky. Names like Toby and Cooper are fine but nothing to known or to much for a person. Any advice on naming my dog or personal experiences? When do I know I've got the name? I've had that feeling again and again that it was the one but then it wasn't. People are pressuring me to name him but I just can't find it! I'm so FRUSTRATED.

Breed: Miniature Australian Shepherd
Colors: Tri-Black (White, and Black with a bit of copper

Um, there are mini aussies and toy aussies. Google it. It's called taking a two small aussies to make smaller aussies. And I know what I'm talking about and not stupid. I've had dogs for a while , thanks.

Thanks for the names!
I think he's going to be Cooper.

Answer 2

Most of my dogs named themselves. For instance Ozzie Osbourne did something wild and crazy. Itty Bitty 's name started as a nickname and then when she didn't grow any more, it stuck. Peanut was the same way; her twin sister's name was Porscha so they were two "P"'s in a pod...no pun intended.

There is really no pressure to name the dog, but sometimes you might look for a human name with meaning. For instance, look up name meanings for girls and boys in a google search. If you want an Australian name, check out what would be a good Aussie type name for a child there.

Answer 3

In the dog world there are no names. So he isn't being hurt by not having a name. So RELAX. The right name will come up. Just keep an ear out for one.

Let his personality help your find a name. Some cultures don't name a person their real name until they are a year old.

Our dog(a queensland shepherd) called "charlie brown" when he didn't have a name and eventually he got the name of Dakota (cody for short) so now I call him Cody Brown. He doesn't care what I call him. but he comes running when I say....."I need to kiss a nose"!

look at baby name websites. there are usually unique names on there and prob won't remind you of anybody in particular. My aussie is named keira which means dark haired beauty.

I like this one because there are different options for what you can select, like meaing or certain letter you want it to begin with.

I had a tri-colored Beagle once, and I named him Harley...I loved that name, but you should go with a name that you love too, so I hope you get some good ideas here...what a great Christmas gift!
