How to pick a girl dog name
- Say it out loud in a happy voice and a firm voice. You'll use both.
- Two syllables are ideal. "Lu-na" or "Dai-sy" is easy to call and hard to mistake for a command.
- Avoid names that rhyme with commands: Kit sounds like "sit", and Bo sounds like "no".
- Think about her full size. A Great Dane named Peanut is funny; make sure you'll love it in ten years.
