Stinky may be cute among your immediate family or friends, but it wont go over well at the veterinarian or around casual acquaintances. You may think its an honor to name your pup after you're favorite Uncle Arnold. He might find naming your baby after him an honor, but naming your puppy after him, not so much. Purebred Golden Retriever puppies are eligible to be AKC registered. A hoity toity name will be required for that purpose but not for everyday use.

If you've adopted an adult or older dog, its probably best to use the same name it already has. If for some reason you just cant stand its given name, try and choose another one that sounds very similar. For example, Barney can morph into Farley.

You should make a list of possible names for puppies as you go through the process.

Whats your puppy look like? His color, size, and his unique style might inspire a variety of name choices. Stubbs might be a great name for a dachshund pup. Personality. Given a couple of days, your new puppy's personality is bound to shine through. Try Cuddles for the cute little guy who just loves to get cozy and snuggle with you.

Comic dog names are a good choice too. There's always Snoopy, Daisy and Odie. German names often work well too such as Fritz and Kaiser. Irish dog names are good choices for some pups, such as Finn or Murphy (means hound of the sea). French names like Pierre or Gigi can add a touch of sophistication.
