Finding the Right Two Syllable Name for Your Dog

All of the two-syllable names above have been carefully selected to ensure they meet the requirement that is two-syllables! Each is chosen for its quick and clean precision and will be an automatic and effective learning tool for your new pup. If you have fallen in love with more than one, don’t fret! We’ve lost a few tips below to help narrow down your favorites even more and ultimately choose THEE one: 

• Think of the personality your puppy has (or is likely to have). Most dog breeds have specific qualities, so even before your puppy comes home, it is somewhat easy to pick a name. Or, you may choose to have your furry friend at home with you for a few days while you get to know him or her and then pick the name to express their character.
• Pick a name and stick with it. Once you have the name, don’t change your mind. And don’t bring out the nicknames until your puppy feels confident with the official name (you don’t want a confused little furball). Say the name a lot, in all different tones so your puppy learns it quickly. 
• See how your pet reacts when you say it out loud. This may be a clear indication that they love or hate a name. If an option provokes an alarming bark, we know that’s not the name for your pup! If you get a curious head tilt or a few puppy kisses, we can bet you have found a winner!
• Have fun! 

Remember these are simple guidelines, not hard rules. Rest assured, your pup will love whatever name you choose. If you are still searching for the right one, take a peek at another dog name post we’ve linked below:
