With puppies, and keeping a few simple things in mind, finding the perfect puppy names doesn't have to be hard. Dogs better understand short commands so short names are easiest for them.

If possible, let your kids be part of the choosing puppy names process. Kids like keeping it simple too. Keep in mind that you'll be using your puppy's name in public. 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.
