Advice on how to choose a name for your Golden Retriever
If you’re having trouble deciding on a name for your Golden Retriever, keep in mind that names can come from different sources of inspirationsuch as your favorite foods, books, legendary characters, celebrities or natural elements, or derived from personal imagination, such as a good memory or a fancy name.
For example, your pup might sport a water-inspired name like “Ocean” or your faithful companion might be named after a goddess like the Goddess of Victory “Nike.”
Also, it can be fun to play with opposite characteristics of your canine friend: For example, you might call a cream-colored Golden Retriever “Noir.”
Another helpful consideration when choosing the perfect name for your pup is to avoid a name that if possible exceed three syllables (therefore it must not be too long) or that it is similar or equal to a commonly used word, or even to the name or nickname of another member of the family (human or animal).
This is because your little dog may get confused and fail to obey your orders and commands properly.
Obviously, what matters most is that the name of the dog you choose is to your liking and that that name accompanies your dog throughout its life and, therefore, is not changed.
Once you’ve chosen a name for your pup, it might be a good idea to have it engraved on one identification tagamong the essential accessories for every pet.
