Good Dog Names
Picking out the perfect name for a dog or puppy is a lot of fun. Here are some things to keep in mind when naming a pooch.
- Dogs with short, one or two syllable, names are easiest to train.
- Some experts say that a two syllable name which ends in a vowel is best. (Like Lassie or Skippy.)
- Pick a name that’s easy to shout. (For calling the pup.)
- Choose a name that fits the dog’s personality.
- Once a name is picked, use it often, but not when meting out punishment.
Dog Names List
To give a Boston Terrier dog a great name, there are names to avoid.
Don't pick a name for a dog that's too much like a command. The name Nola sounds too much like “No”. The name Fletch sounds too much like “Fetch”.
Avoid cutesy or silly names. It’s embarrassing to call out names like Poopsie or Butterbutt.
Some people say to avoid the top ten names. This may not seem to be a problem, but if someone calls Max, every dog may run away from its master.
Names like Baby can be a problem. Baby, Tiny, Teensy, Bitsy may not work when the pup grows up. This depends upon the Boston's final adult size.
