Puppy names can come from a variety of different places. Some get their name from their handler, owner, alpha or pack, and others name themselves. Whatever the source of the name, it is a good idea for a pup to like their own name, unless that dynamic isn't the way the relationship is structured.
How a Pup gets their name?
Naming can happen in a structured way, unstructured way, independently, and collaboratively. Here are some things to remember when trying to pick a name:
- Pick a name you like for now - that’s all any of us can do. If we don’t like it, we can change it.
- They aren’t permanent - even our human names, though not easy, can be changed.
- Your name is your name. So you and those closest to you need to be the one(s) most happy with it!
