What Should You Name Your American Cocker spaniel?

Dog names are fun, since they aren’t usually limited to what one usually thinks of as “people names”, like Jack or Mary.

You can name your dog for what he looks like (Spot or Snowflake for example), after your favorite movie (say, Hidalgo), for your mother, or for your first car! Be creative, have fun. But there are a few things you should keep in mind.

Practical Tips for Naming

Since dogs don’t know what a word means until you teach him, calling your male chihuahua “Tinkerbell” probably won’t insult him, in fact he may even enjoy the laughs it gets. And calling him “Killer” won’t fool anyone.

However, calling your Rottweiller “Killer” is another matter. If she ever acts aggressively, or if someone afraid of or unfamiliar with dogs even perceives her behaivor as aggressive, the fact that you call her by a dangerous sounding name could get you in trouble.

Also consider how the name sounds to the dog. For obedience purposes, it is best to use a one or two syllable name. Shorter names may be hard to differentiate from commands, which are usually one syllable words.

If you choose a short name, make sure it doesn’t sound like a command you are likely to use, or at least be sure to choose a different word for the command. Longer ones may be difficult to say quickly and authoritatively.

Try saying it a few times, and see how it sounds. Also think about running through the neighborhood calling “Tinkerbell, Tinkerbell!” and see how comfortable you’d be with that!

With these caveats in mind, here is a list of names to get you started.
