Cinema lovers will undoubtedly call their dogs with names consistent with the nicknames of famous dogs. For example, Mukhtar or Rex.

How can you funny call a dog?
For modern breeders, the dog’s nickname should not always be rigorous and have a serious meaning. For this reason, they select for their dogs uncomplicated comic names that are directly related to the image of the animal and its character. Due to the humorous approach in the house where the dog lives with a funny nickname, there is a definite positive, always in a good mood. Indeed, in most cases, an incredible nickname in a dog has the basis of its unusual behavior.
The owner of the animal is very important not to overdo it with a funny nickname, since the chosen name still gives the dog special character traits and behavior. For example, do not call sheepdog Rhombikom or Fluffy. Otherwise, males will grow soft and pampered. Accordingly, they will not be able to become good guards and have a strong character.
As a joke, you can call miniature dogs with names that verbally increase their size, for example, a toy terrier will Hulk, and the cute chihuahua will respond to the nickname Elephant or Zeus.
And indeed, it is so unusual to walk around the park among other dogs and call your decorative pet to yourself, calling it one of the suggested names.
In addition, funny names can be called dogs that have certain character traits. For example, if a dog likes to bark and make noise around it, you can call it Bell, Bell or Gav. If the caudate friend likes to feast on various sweets, it is preferable to christen the pet as a nickname associated with food. For example, Cake or Donut.
Many owners are familiar with the problem when the puppy returns from a walk in a fairly soiled form, as it cannot pass by puddles, piles of folded leaves or earth. For such dogs suitable names Peppa (pig from a cartoon) or the well-known pig Naf-Naf (Nif-Nif, Nuf-nuf).
In purebred dogs, acquired for the soul, there may be defects in external data, which can be emphasized when choosing a playful nickname. If the dog limp foot, it can be called Chrome. If the dog has a problem with the ears, the animal is invited to be nicknamed Ear hook. If you have problems with your teeth, the most appropriate name will be Dracula
Beautiful and rare nicknames
Going for a walk in the park, each person meets on his way a huge number of dogs with special nicknames. Sometimes you can hear incredibly cool names that are very rarely used in everyday life. Thus, the owners try to distinguish their pet among the crowd, to present a friend in the most unique way. For this reason, they excel and pick up the original nicknames, the roots of which have a special meaning.
Often the meaning of a dog's nickname corresponds to the professional status of the pet owner. For example, astronomers call their puppies in honor of unique constellations and any other celestial bodies. Car owners can christen their pet with the name of their favorite car brand, for example, Subaru or Dodge. Women, when choosing an interesting name for their pet, are guided by the names of celebrities and famous heroes.
And yet the most unusual, cool and very beautiful nicknames for dogs are the names of mythological heroes and creatures. In this case we are talking about such nicknames as Bahus, Ragnarek, Jaraksus, Yarilo or Perun. Although from the presented list Yarilo and Perun the most common and well-known names around.
It is extremely rare, but there are nicknames of dogs that seem strange gibberish, consisting of several sounds unrelated to each other. And only the pet owner understands what the meaning of the name of the animal is. In fact, there is no big mystery here.
The first letters of the names of the ancestors of the puppy are taken as a nickname and are interconnected. For example, if the mother's name was Kelly, and his father was Guy, then their descendant's nickname would sound like Keg or Huck.
Foreign names
When choosing a nickname for a pet, who will remain in the family until the end of his days, it is necessary to show great diligence. It is especially important if the breeder wants to give his friend a name with a foreign accent. According to the rules of searching for a unique canine nickname, it is necessary to choose several acceptable variants of names. The main thing is that the owner of the animal knows their literal translation and understand the meaning, so that it will be possible to choose the most relevant nickname for the four-legged friend.
As additional help, you will need to turn to Chinese, Japanese and even German vocabulary. For example, German names such as Dasbest are suggested, which means the best in translation. Shnell - fast, respectively, emphasizes the speed of the dog. Troy translated as a devotee, which is very suitable for large breed dogs. Glukki - happy, Flo - fluffy, Lauter - loud.
French in its pronunciation is melodic, respectively, the names are pronounced more gently and subtlely. For example, Jean translated as good and emphasizes the character of the dog. Udon - child, such a nickname is often called lovers to fool around and deceive. Gary - Warrior, the true defender of his family.
Kudu is translated as a thimble. Such a nickname can be called the smallest and charming puppy, the size of which in the process of growth practically does not change.
Japanese dialect can not be called subtle or refined. In pronunciation, he looks more sharply and clearly. Accordingly, names for animals will not have tenderness and softness. For example, the nickname Buru in translation means bull, and in the pronunciation there is a certain rudeness. Rao is a lion, Haru is a spring, Yoshiko is a child.
The most popular English and American versions of the nicknames for pets. And recently, breeders give dogs two-part names, in simple words, consisting of two words and having a deeper meaning. For example, Sun Dance (sun dance), Pappa Love (puppy love), Angel Aes (angel eyes). In America, it is customary to give animals for festive events.For example, on February 14th, a guy can hand his lover a puppy, calling him in advance by his name Fo Love (for love).
Along with double nicknames for dogs, short names of animals that are more familiar to those around them enjoy individual attention. For example, Buddy is a friend. Lucky - happy, Smiley - smile, Bob - famous, Bertie - bright. Some breeds of dogs, the origin of which began in the eastern lands, should choose foreign names that reflect the culture of the country from which they originated.
For example, a little puppy can be called Askar (soldier), Osmon (sky), Zhasur (brave), Dovlet (wealth).
Recommendations for selection
Choosing a male nickname for a small puppy is an individual task of each owner or individual family, where the help of unauthorized persons is not acceptable. In this matter should not go beyond the reasonable.
The name of the baby is given in puppy age, but it is important to remember that A charming dog will not always be tiny and in time he will turn into an adult. It remains only to imagine how a cute and charming puppy of the Alabai breed turns into a dog of enormous size. Accordingly, the name Fluffy, given to alabaychiku at an early age for the quality of its wool will be inappropriate. For this reason, the newly minted owner must submit his ward in adulthood. The same goes for the puppy's subsequent fate, whether he will participate in exhibitions or live his life in a loving family with the most ordinary life.
For tailed boys with miniature sizes, the process of finding a suitable nickname is much easier. They can be called comic, affectionate, gentle and even formidable names.
Of course, you can choose the nickname of the puppy according to external data, character, temperament.
For dogs of a certain color
In most cases, the color of the dog's coat affects the choice of a suitable name. Sometimes the owner calls his pet, starting from the color of the animal's eyes, although the color scheme of the coat plays a big role. If the dog has several colors in color, the prevailing shade is taken as the basis of the name.
To date, there is a huge amount of color coat of dogs, ideally combined with each other. For example, black and white, brown and red, yellow and fiery, gray and spotted.
If the dog has exclusively black color of a wool, it can be called traditional nicknames Chernysh or Devil. But among the popular names are such options as Zorro - the owner of a black suit, Raven - the owner of exclusively dark shades of appearance.
In narrow circles a black color puppy may be called Blackjack. But at the same time on the street to call him a reduced version of Black.
According to a similar scheme, puppies with a snow-white fur coat are given names, where the most common nicknames for a boy are Casper and Almaz. Small dogs are best named. Snowball. And representatives of large breeds with snow-white color is preferable to shout Edelweiss or Blizzard. Dogs with spotted colors, equate to animals with a marble color. Accordingly, dog names should have a contrasting meaning. For example, dominoes, where black and white are combined. Other color choices allow the dog to be dubbed by such names as Spotted or Piedrik.
Owners of brown shade of wool to find the appropriate name is quite difficult. And yet, if you lightly break your head, you will be able to reward the dog with the most unusual nickname. For example, Brownie. Even in the name itself there is a brown sensation, and in our thoughts there is an image of a chocolate cake. Not less unique option will be Snickers or Chocco. Coffee lovers will surely call chocolate pet Mocha.
The most difficult task for the new owner is the selection of the name of the puppy red color.In this case, not every nickname can come pet. For some puppies, the nickname will fit The fire. For others in nature and habits fit the nickname Lava. Stately males will proudly bear the nickname Ruby.
As an additional option, you should consider such names as Fire or Pomegranate.
For representatives of various breeds
Everyone knows that the name that is given to a living being at birth, in many respects affects his fate. This factor concerns not only humans, but also animals. It is especially important to be careful in choosing nicknames for dogs that can show their purebred qualities in adulthood.
First you need to remember that the relationship between man and dog arose through common activities. First of all, the scope of the hunt comes to mind. Since ancient times, dogs have been used as assistants in catching a wild beast. They helped not only to drive the animal to a dead end, but also skillfully burrowed into holes to pull out a wild beast. Based on these characteristics, it was important for the owner to call his pet a nickname associated with a hunting job and having a deep meaning. For example, Orion.
Few people know, but this constellation name has a specific translation - the hunter. In general, there is a sufficient variety of nicknames for hounds. For example, Wind, tornado, lightning. Representatives of large breeds were mainly used to catch a large beast, respectively, their names should imply a formidable character. For example, Thunder, Tiger or Wolf. Norven dogs, for example, dachshunds, with great pleasure will respond to the names Norq or Laz.
In addition to the hunting sphere, a person was engaged in shepherd's work. Accordingly, he needed an assistant, but not a representative of the human race, but a creature that could keep track of the huge livestock. This creation had to have a distinct scent in order to determine in a few minutes the presence of nearby odors. And we are talking not only about people, but also wild animals, from which the herdsman's helper is obliged to protect livestock. In addition, shepherd dogs should have been distinguished by a special intellect, to be able to separate animals into wild and domestic.
It is very important that the tailed assistants have a very sensitive ear. When a threat or danger arises, the dogs barked loudly, notifying the person of their readiness to proceed with the protection of livestock. Based on these criteria, shepherd breeds have been nicknamed by Watch or Hawk.
Much more interesting is the issue with the name for dogs belonging to service breeds. The nickname should reflect the strength of the animal, character, sporting qualities, indifference to weather changes. Based on these criteria, you can call a pet Frost, Wind, Baikal, Caucasus, Taiga, North and even Buran. Diving dogs involved in special operations with a rescue service on the water most often bear the nicknames Sailor, Boatswain or Navigator. Representatives of medium and large breeds, most often falling into the military and police services, namely, shepherd dogs or labradors, must bear majestic names. Nicknames should be considered as suitable options. Keelord, Baron, Lord.
And if you call the sheep-dog named Dzhulbars, it is likely that in adulthood the dog will maximize its qualities, since the first carrier of this name did many great things during the war.
Not necessarily in the house should appear pedigreed dog. Very often a person saves a street animal from harsh weather conditions. Of course, such pets led to dog shows will not work, but they can become true friends. In most cases, street animals appear in the house because of human good nature and mercy.Accordingly, no one will be puzzling over the pet’s nickname.
Representatives of the noble dogs are called names that reflect the external data of the animal and the characteristics of its behavior. But more often the name of the mutts corresponds to the color of his coat. Ideal nicknames can be Gypsy, Rudik, Chestnut. If there is a yellow tan over the eye of a noble boy, it would be appropriate to name the baby Brow. Unusual pet gait can push the host to the nickname Gallop or Lynx. Small mongrels in most cases have names with a funny shade, for example, Tyapa, Raccoon, Ball or Puff.
Special attention in choosing a nickname should be given to dogs with miniature size. These charming creatures are pretty cute and funny, but at the same time have a touchy and vulnerable character. They will suit such names as Bow, Kid or Fantik.
Depending on temperament
The future fate of the puppy is greatly influenced by the nickname corresponding to the character and temperament of the baby. If you take into account these criteria, the selection of a suitable name will take time. The owner will need to observe the behavior of his pet, to see how he reacts to certain stimuli, to study his habits. In the future, not to be trapped, you will need to show some patience.
If a pet shows stubbornness, expresses its “I”, strongly expresses its own opinion, treats strangers with suspicion, if there is a sense of danger, it is ready to rush to the protection of the family, it should be awarded with a formidable and serious nickname.
In the case when the puppy tries to show tenderness, to crawl into the hands of anyone, even a stranger, tries to make friends with other dogs and watches the actions taking place at a short distance, you should pick up his soft nickname.
And indeed, the gentle Thunder or the evil Kid will look very ridiculous in adulthood.

Tips
Surely, many people know that in the scientific field there is a special section dealing with the study of names, called onomastics. It also contains the concept of zoonym - the study of the names of animals.
Thanks to the advice of experienced dog handlers and professional breeders it turned out to make a useful list of recommendations, with the help of which the new owner can give his puppy a unique name.
- Brevity nickname. A dog will not be able to remember a name consisting of three or more syllables. The dog's nickname must be short and clear, otherwise the pet may become confused and will no longer respond to the call of the owner.
- Preferred sounds. Most dogs prefer hissing sounds, making it easier for them to remember their nickname. It is desirable that in the pet's nickname there were very few letters "P", otherwise the animal in the subconscious will begin to compare its nickname with a fighting roar, which will cause aggression.
- Public respect. The pet owner, living in a multifaceted society, must understand that the nickname of the animal should not offend friends and strangers passing by. You can not call a dog religious nicknames, it can cause unpleasant feelings in other people. The same applies to the national attribute, although many concepts are ideal for boys of large breeds.
- Team similarity. Pet name should not be similar to any of the studied commands. Otherwise, the animal will be confused and will not respond to the call of the owner. Or maybe confused and begin to perform a command action. On the other hand, a purebred dog can be called a firm male nickname, similar to the team, but in everyday life, use a shortened version of the nickname, which has no similarity with the elements of dressure.
- Human name. The owner of the animal should be remembered: you can not call your pet name of a person. This nuance will avoid many unpleasant situations that can occur completely by accident.
- Search beautiful name. To facilitate a person the task of selecting a suitable pet name there are many sources of information.
