A few other points to ponder when choosing a dog name
It's true that there's definitely an art to it, but naming a dog has also been the focus of scientific studies.
Research indicates that dog names with one or two syllables are usually better and more easily picked up on by the dog or puppy. Of course, this isn't a hard and fast rule, but studies also suggests that gruff consonant sounds "G" and "C", for instance, both hard and soft (and not necessarily as the first letter of the name), elicited the best responses.
Ending the dogs name with a vowel sound, like long A, E, I, O, or U is also more effective in helping your dog to understand and distinguish his name from other words and commands. Names like Jovi, CoCo, Tango and Khaki would be examples of attention grabbing names for your dog.
But naming a dog can be very personal. And for perfectionists who feel like they need to find the perfect name, it can be overwhelming. That's where we come in.
