As soon as the puppy or the dog enters the house, the problem of the name arises. In many families, the children come first, the most unusual ideas come out and the joyous battle between siblings can begin. There is total freedom to give a name to your dog. No rule is imposed.
For purists, or more exactly for purebred dogs registered in the LOF (Book of French Origins), it will be necessary to choose a dog name starting with the letter of the year. For 2020, this is R. Note that 6 letters, considered too complicated to use, are excluded from this nomenclature (the letters K, Q, W, X, Y and Z). Be aware that the dog's official name may be different from the "common name".
As a general rule, it is best to use a short, easily pronounceable name that the dog can understand easily, which will make it easier for you to carry out daily commands.
In order to help you or to inspire you, we are providing you with a list of male and female dog names.
