Most Popular Female Puppy Names
According to the pet naming experts at QuickCare, these are the 10 most popular male puppy names for 2013. Which is your favorite puppy name?
Most Popular Male Puppy Names
We just picked up our new puppy. She's an 8 week old Golden Retriever and we named her Sadie!
We're getting a new Golden Retriever puppy next week and trying to decide on her name.
The names we're grappling with are Lucy, Maddie, Maggie, Sadie, and Sophie. I'll let you know what we decide!
A reader just sent me an email and i thought my readers could help...
She says, "I'm hoping you can find me a silly but awesome puppy name. My friend has a
hedgehog pup that she named Chronic the Hemp Hog. Isn't that hilarious!
My dog will be a male morkie which is
half maltese and half yorkshire terrier. One of my friends thought the name Morkie Mork and the Furry Bunch was cute.
If you come up with a long silly
name, please help me with a nickname too. The name can't be offensive or
X-rated and it needs to be
kid-friendly. I don't want my veterinarian to give me dirty looks when I bring him
in!
If you could offer up a list of names I would be so happy"

So the saying goes... what's in a name?
The name you choose for your new puppy can say a lot about you and a lot about how others will view you and your dog. People will judge your dog's personality by the name that you give him. Calling your dog "Killer" or "Danger" for example may make you feel safe and secure at home, but the truth is that your beloved canine may also be perceived as a menace to the community, simply because of his name!
There are a few simple guidelines for picking out the perfect puppy name. Follow these suggestions and you'll discover a name that sounds just right.
#1 KISS (Keep it Short and Simple)
You'll want to keep your pup's name short and simple for a couple of reasons. First, dogs tend to respond best to short commands and can get puzzled by long words. Keep your puppy's name short and simple, one or two syllables at most, and your puppy is sure to respond. Keep in mind that you can register a pure-bred puppy with a long name but still call him by his "pet name." Second, You are going to be using your puppy's name lots and lots of times each day so a short and simple name will be easier for you to use often.
#2 Your Puppy Will Not Always Be a Puppy
Your new puppy won't always be this a puppy, so keep in mind that you are choosing a DOG name also. Naming a St. Bernard pupy "Tickles" for example may seem like a smart choice when she's a baby, however you may regret it when she's 150 pounds!
Database of Puppy Names
I just discovered a puppy names database that contains over 6000 puppy names to choose from.
That many dog names may seem like a lot, but this website has organized the names into specific categories and lists. Some of the categories for puppy names are Favorite, Famous, and Foreign/Ethnic Puppy Names.

Here's a fun fact about puppy names...
Did you know that you will use your dog's name over 35,000 times during his lifetime? In fact, you'll use the name 5,000 time in the puppy's first year alone!!
For this reason, the simple act of naming your puppy is a very significant one. If you have kids, you should ask them what they want to name their puppy and really take their suggestions into consideration. Letting them participate in the puppy naming process will be something they remember for the rest of their lives!

It's very important that you choose your new puppy's name wisely. A name like "Fang" can be super guests in your home that are already leary of dogs.
Your new puppy will quickly grow to become a major part of your family so it's important that you select a name you'll enjoy caling out again, and again, and again. New pups give you a fun opportunity to choose one of those names that you could never give one of your human children, so go ahead and get wild by picking something silly and outrageous!
Your new pup will lick you for it!
