Finding the right name for your pug can be difficult sometimes with so many ideas around. Given that your pug has a unique body shape, his name should be unique too. In essence, when we give our pet a name we want to point out their personality, and temper and we tend to use our sense of humor because we know that if the name is humorous it is hard to forget the others.
Ergo, it is very important to notice the main traits of your pug as he can be charming, short-muzzled, hilarious, and playful, he makes funny sounds when breathing or “communicating” and his name and nickname (if you intend to use any) should reflect the most of these features, and also by adding a bit of authenticity, your pug name will be unique.
Pug Names Trends
Nowadays, pugs are one of the most popular dog breeds in the world and this also impacts their name trends, that change from one year to another, mostly depending on what is going viral on the internet or what marks the year as the most important event, etc.
Pet owners, in particular, tend to follow the latest trends and be on schedule, hence their name choice for their pug can be some interesting character from a movie or book that aired during the year in question. Among pug name trends, Pugsley is definitely the most popular and it is followed by Otis, Oliver, Louie, Frank, and Winston.
Pug Names Advice
There are so many inspirational sources you can pick names for your pug from such as celebrities, dog breed history, books, movies, preferred foods, and even something totally random based on the fur color or a specific mark or spot, a habit and the list goes on. Although it is not certain that they are a Chinese breed, their origins reside in the Orient so you can choose exotic names from the oriental cultures that can be original.
The name you choose for your pug is very important in the training process. You will teach him certain commands and learn him to listen to you, so you need to make sure to spell his name the same way all the time so it doesn’t get him confused, otherwise, he won’t know if the command applies to him.
