Best Boy French Bulldog Names & Their Meanings: There are hundreds of names to choose between, so how can you FIND potential names for your new French Bulldog, and you are happy with that it suits them?
Unless you are particularly attached to a dog name, you may want to avoid the most popular names. You’re going to run into other dogs with your dog’s name, and it could lead to some confusion in the dog park or the vet’s office.
It may be unusual, but more than half of all pet names seem to be either human names or nicknames. People often name their pets as they would call themselves. A further fifth of the names are based on the appearance or personal characteristics of the pet. The black cat is Blacky or Midnight, and the active dog Meteor or Sprint.
Before Picking Consider
Here are some helpful tips for picking your Frenchies name.
- Select a name easily recognizable by your French Bulldog. Dogs are best at reacting to one or two-syllable names.
- Choose a name that’s both easy to call out and one that you are happy calling out
- Wait a few days to observe the actions of your Frenchie. Hopefully, this will help you choose the correct name as you will have a better idea of their personality.
- Avoid choosing a name that sounds like a command you plan to teach your dog.
- Don’t name your Frenchie something that others might find distasteful or embarrassing. This includes possible racial or religious slurs, general insults, crass slang terms, and anything that has a curse word in it.
- Resist changing the name of an adult dog if the dog already understands it. If you need to change their name, choose one that sounds similar.
