Best Puppy Names for 2022

January 11, 2022

Taking out time to choose a good name to call your puppy is important, as the little thing is going to keep bearing it for the rest of their life. 

Also, Since you would be using it a lot, you should pick a name that is easy for your pet to recognize -more consonant and long vowel sounds-, and one that you can proudly call out in public or put on a name tag. 

Best Puppy Names to Give Your Pet

More often than not, people name their pets after characters in movies, foods, drinks, sports celebrities or random human names. 

While some people would rather wait to meet their puppy and spend some time before giving a name that they believe is perfect, some others simply go-ahead to pick a name for them even before they arrive.

Whichever way you choose to go is fine, as long as you pick a name that both you and the dog would be proud of.
