Naming your pet can be hard sometimes and it becomes even a much tougher decision when your pet is a little pug. Why do we oftentimes find it so difficult to pick a name for your furry quadruped?
Well, we will call our buddy by this name all the time and all our friends will know about it, so we want it to be memorable and expressive.
Nowadays, thanks to the internet and social media, we have access to a huge amount of ideas if we don’t necessarily want to come up with one in particular. So how are you going to call your little pooch?
Why PUG’s name is important?
We give a lot of importance to the name because it’s how we’re going to be called for the rest of our lives, even though in some cases we don’t like it. When you decide to adopt a pug puppy, you need to know that picking the best name for him is an important thing. We want names to be related to the personality, to be funny and also uncommon and we don’t normally refer to them as letters put together to form a word.
So what you should take into consideration when you name your pug?
Consider that you will go in public with your quadruped friend, and it is not confined to only the circle of friends, but also the veterinarian, the trainer, or the commission of an exhibition. The name will be his image – it can inspire confidence or fear, amusement or seriousness. It is not recommended to choose quite a very common name because in public could mislead your pug if it is pronounced by the owner of another pet.
Picking The Right Name For Your Pug
It is not necessary to think of the name before you adopt your pug. If you decide to choose it based on his personality or physical appearance, then it’s certain you will come up with something authentic. You may associate him with characters from books, TV series, famous personalities or if you spot something that is very specific to him on his skin, body, face, then you’ll make his name more personal.
If you don’t feel like making a big deal out of this, then you can always search on the internet for pug names and we also have for you a list below with names that are in trend at the moment. If you already own pooch, you can check if his name is on the list.
