How to Choose the Perfect Dog Name

While these common names are a great starting point, selecting the perfect name depends on your dog’s unique characteristics and your personal style. Here are some tips to help you decide:

• Consider Your Dog’s Personality: A playful pup might suit a fun name like "Rocky," while a more regal dog might be better suited for a name like "Rani."

• Keep It Short & Sweet: Names with one or two syllables are easier for your dog to recognize and respond to.

• Test It Out: Try calling your dog by a few different names to see which one gets the best reaction.

• Cultural Touch: Reflect your own heritage by choosing names that have local significance, like "Sheru" for a strong, brave companion.
