Default How to pick a name from "It's a Dog's Life... but It's Your Carpet" book

Seeing that there are so many questions about dog names, I had to chime in. Hope no one minds! This question is from my book It's a Dog's Life... but It's Your Carpet which is available at Dr. Justine Lee - It's a Dog's Life, but It's Your Carpet. Yes, the material is copyrighted, but I hope you enjoy it and it helps you pick Fido's new name!

What are the top 10 hottest dog names?
Based on a recent study by Veterinary Pet Insurance,16 the top 10 pet names are (drum roll, please!):

The top 10 female dog names are:
1. Molly
2. Maggie
3. Daisy
4. Lucy
5. Sadie
6. Ginger
7. Chloe
8. Bailey
9. Sophie
10. Zoe

The top 10 male dog names are:
1. Max
2. Buddy
3. Jake
4. Rocky
5. Bailey
6. Buster
7. Cody
8. Charlie
9. Bear
10. Jack

If you want to break free from the mold of traditional human names, here are a few helpful hints when it comes to picking a name for your pet. In general, take a few days to get to know your new pet before coming up with a name. Their personality may give you a better idea of a name after a few days (Lazy? Grumpy? Bashful? Sleepy?) Sometimes, the environment, city, street, or location where they were found might be a fun name. I named my friend’s dog Essie because she was abandoned in our “Emergency Services,” which is often called, “ES.” My Pit Bull is named JP after Jamaica Plain, an up-and-coming (i.e., ghetto) subdivision of Boston where I used to live (This is on the infamous “other” side of the tracks, where one needs a Pit Bull to safely walk down the street).

Next, pick a name that your pet will easily recognize, otherwise all your pet will hear is “blah, blah, blah, blah.” Using a two syllable name that ends with a vowel (i.e., “Echo” or “Fido”) may make it easier for your dog to identify its name. Also, pick a name you won’t be embarrassed by when your veterinarian hollers it out in the waiting room. “Buttkiss,” “Bitch,” or “Jerk” (yes, these were some of my actual client’s dog’s names) are a bit embarrassing for your vet to call out in a room full of people (yes, I would know. Go ahead and get your giggles out now, Prince Albert). Finally, to prevent your dog from thinking you are always yelling at it, pick a name that doesn’t sound like a command. “Hound” sounds like “down,” so don’t be surprised if your dog always lies down when you talk to him.
