You bring home your new little
bundle of joy, you pet them and play with them, cuddle them and tell them how
much you love them and how hey are the cutest thing in the world. All of a sudden,
you realize you keep saying “puppy”, but nothing else. This is because your little
puppy has no name.
What are you going to call him? This name will stick
with him for the rest of his canine life, so you want to make sure it’s perfect.
How do you go about choosing a name for your pup? You can go through a gigantic
book of every name imaginable, or you can follow these simple steps to help you
pick out a name.
Things to Consider When Picking a Name
Some people
suggest that you pick a name with more than one syllable for a Shar Pei puppy.
Single syllables are hard to hear, and will not attract the attention of the puppy.
You should also consider choosing a name that does not sound like any other word,
especially if it is a name having to do with a command that you use frequently,
such as ‘no’, ‘down’, etc,. You may just hear a name that strikes your fancy,
a name that just fits the puppy you bought, or you may wish to try the following
techniques and get creative.
Inspiration for Naming Your Shar Pei
Sometimes
Shar Pei puppy names come from historical figures, stories, books, magazines,
etc. Often times your Shar Pei pup will get his name when you least expect it.
If you have children, consider having them help with the picking out of the name.
Sometimes adults are so rigid and they don’t want any Shar Pei names to
sound ‘stupid’ or ‘dumb’, but that sometimes leaves out the creativity that children
bring to the process. Children have an awesome creative streak, and getting them
to help with the naming process is exciting and fun for them, and if you can all
agree on a name, it takes the pressure off of you.
That’s Life…
Shar
Pei puppies are cute and wrinkly, so they tend to get cute names, but you also
need to remember that they have to live with the name for the rest of their life,
so try to make it appropriate for the dog as a whole, not just as a puppy. You
may wish to use adjectives like Happy, Spiffy, or Crazy to help name your dog.
Anything that inspires you or makes you think about your puppy is another good
place to start.
Your dog’s personality, behavior, or physical features
also might inspire you to name your puppy. Male Shar Pei puppy names include:
Cookie, Trigger, Wrinkles, Blaze, Happy, Spot, Prickles, Spunky, Prince, and Chubby
Checker. Female Shar Pei puppy names include: Princess, Angel, Cutie Pie, Sweetheart,
Pumpkin, Minnie, Miss Wrinkles, Charlotte, Cinderella, and Jasmine
You should
also consider briefing yourself of general Shar
Pei care so that after you have chosen a perfect name for you puppy, you can
be the perfect caregiver as well. This will assure that the two of you have a
perfect relationship, as his health depends on you.
