Try This Unique Way of Finding Names For Dogs
Dogs provide us with loyalty, companionship and comfort. In some cases, they are surrogate children. Don’t choose your dog‘s name lightly. Put time and effort into finding a befitting name that represents your dog‘s characteristics and personality. Look to literary works to find names for dogs.
Select a name from Sherlock Holmes for a hound dog. These canine detectives use their noses to solve mysteries and find objects. Sherlock makes a good name for a hound dog such as a bloodhound or a black and tan coonhound. Dr. Watson fits a basset hound. It is trustworthy and undaunted like Sherlock’s sidekick.
From fantasy literature, Tolkien characters provide proud dog names. Tenacious terriers would be proud of the hobbit names Frodo and Bilbo. These small stature breeds challenge much larger foes.
German Shepherds approve of Aragorn. This wanderer with noble heritage roamed the wilds defending the oppressed. He always stood proudly.
Mixed breeds with their mystical heritage make a great wizard, Gandalf the Grey. Scruffy in appearance, but true in their character, mutts provide their families great companions. However, they sometimes wander off on their own.
An elfin name is appropriate for regal, decorative dogs. A female poodle named after an elfin princess Arwen would make a great companion. An Afghan dog with its long hair would strut grandly named after the elfin warrior Legolas.
Vampires are currently in literary demand. Give your Doberman Pincher the name Dracula. Maybe your pet would like a more current vampire name from the Volturi coven of the Twilight series.
Fans of the theater can pick from a number of Shakespeare’s characters as names for dogs. Some examples include Macbeth, Hamlet, Caesar, as well as Romeo and Juliet. Lady Macbeth would be a good name for a Scottish Deerhound.
Several author names could also be used as names for dogs. Match the dog’s personality to that of a well-known author. Try Hemingway for a hunting dog or Mark Twain for a mischievous dog. Jules Verne would work as a name for a dog that likes to explore. Robinson Crusoe fits a stray that has adopted your family.
In addition to characters and authors, many stories contain dogs. King Arthur named his dog Cabal. Jack London called his dog characters Buck, Fang and Jerry. Dorothy had Toto, Mickey had Pluto, and Scooby Doo solved mysteries with Shaggy.
Provide the new family member with a name from literature. Some characteristics of this dog caught your attention over all the others. Pick a favorite author or character name that best represents your new friend.
