Choosing The Best Male Dog Names
The best name for your dog is one you fall in love with, and don’t mind shouting out in public.
Wherever you get your inspiration from, finding the perfect name for your newest family member is a satisfying moment. And remember, if you can’t decide between two then why not use them both? Dog middle names are totally a thing!
TOP TIP: If you and your family still can’t agree on the best dog name for your boy puppy, then it’s time to play ‘Name In A Jar’! Everyone writes a name on a piece of paper and folds it twice, then drops it in a jar. Each person can put up to three names in the jar. The pieces of paper should be identical! Get someone who isn’t invested in the outcome to pick the name out of the jar. You need to agree before you begin that you will all accept the result!
