The nuances of choosing a nickname
It would be possible to list double and triple nicknames of dogs for a very long time. Among them, one can mention almost all conveniently pronounced phrases. However, it is much more important to know the principles that will allow you to choose the "right" name in a particular case. The need to give a complex name sometimes arises not at the will of the owners themselves. A considerable part of the breeders already initially gives the pets names that are entered in the passport.
Retrain the animal to a completely new nickname is almost impossible. This is fundamentally different from people who can change their name more than once during their lifetime - most importantly, do not get confused. But at the same time, initially this word may not like at all or cause unpleasant associations. Then all that remains is to add the desired words to those that already exist. In addition, thoroughbred puppies are immediately assigned a complex nickname to highlight them.
There is another possible motive - participation in foreign exhibitions. In this case, at least one foreign (preferably English) word must be used.
If a word from another language sounds mysterious, romantic or impressive, this does not mean that it can be chosen. A foreigner or just a person who knows languages can always meet on his life path. For them, many “sonorous” nicknames given by ignorant dog owners will sound absurd and ridiculous.
Another point is well taken into account - pet names must correspond to the features of their character, behavior and anatomy. A “formidable” or “majestic” phrase to a little lap-dog or poodle will sound funny and even ridiculous. The converse, however, is also true. Therefore, it is worthwhile to carefully study the behavior and temperament of the animal, and only then make a final decision.
If a dog loves to bring toys in its teeth, it can be given the name Jungle Child.
Puppies characterized by a cheerful mischievous disposition are called Rocket Fights. This fully expresses their energy and constant emotional arousal. But Bad Boy denotes a bad character and a tendency to do wrong. Nickname Absolute Power unequivocally expresses the desire for leadership and dominance.
Fest lady perfect for those dogs who love grooming and other manifestations of attention. But Sleeping Beauty, as the dictionary suggests, it perfectly matches passive, calmly behaving individuals with a gentle disposition. All options with the word. Queen or King will show independence, pride and composure.
Friendly dogs are advised to nicknamed Pritti Baby. Other phrases that express tenderness and softness are also suitable.
You can go the other way - pick up the nickname according to the breed. So, Big Boy and Respect Chief are perfect:
- rottweiler;
- to a dog;
- Doberman
- German or East European Shepherd Dog.
Strength and stamina are expressed by the words Rapid Fire or Space Jam. These names will sound great in the mouths of the owners of the Afghan hounds, Siberian huskies or Dalmatians. But the interests of the owners are of no small importance:
- people who are fond of music and art can name pets in honor of artists, composers, writers;
- adventure movie lovers give names to popular characters;
- nature lovers use the names of plants and animals, various natural phenomena, exotic places;
- if there are no special wishes, you can focus on the names of movie stars and pop singers, car brands, sports clubs and so on.
Also, when selecting, you should consider:
- compactness of the word when writing;
- ease of pronouncing;
- clarity of the nickname;
- good recognition of it at the maximum distance;
- harmony (including in abbreviated forms);
- the presence of a minimum number of syllables;
- inadmissibility of confusion with teams or with the names of other pets in the same litter.
