The Dog Training Review

Are you looking for cute pet names for your new pet ?  If so, continue reading!  Cute pet names are a very trendy choice among pet owners because let’s face it, what’s cuter than big eyes, wet noses, wagging tails and soft, cuddly balls of fur?

Even though cute names for our human loved ones might prompt other people to wince or do worse (ever seen the “Shmoopy” episode on Seinfeld?), cute dog names , cute cat names and cute pet names for other types of pets are totally fine .   

Now, I don’t want to get too pedantic , but the dictionary definition of cute is “attractive in a dainty way”.  Words like “precious”, “sweet”, “little” and “innocent” are also affiliated with the word “cute”.  If you’re ready to search for the ideal cute pet name for your new pet, here are a few valuable suggestions :

1) Look for names that are repetative .   Boo Boo, Gigi and Kiki are recognized as cute names, probably because they’re akin to the repetitive style of ‘baby talk’ (and like pets, babies are way up there on the cute-o-meter).

2) Find names that end in ‘y’ or ‘ie’.  Essentially any name can be made to sound cute by including the sound ‘y’.  Case in point , the name Doug doesn’t sound too cute, but Dougie…well, that’s another story .  Alfie, Pinky, Snoopy and Tippy are more examples of cute pet names ending with the ‘y’ sound.   

3) Select names that are affiliated with being small.  Guppy, Baby, Bubbles and Petal are all examples of this.

4) Think food.  You know that statement “cute enough to eat”, well maybe that’s why Cupcake, Muffin, Cookie, Honey, and Pumpkin are such great cute pet names!

5) Select terms of endearment.  Many of us use names like Angel, Baby and Princess to address their precious humans, so why not use these names for pets too ?

There are genuinely hundreds if not thousands of options when it comes to selecting a cute pet name.  Remember to have fun while you’re searching for the perfect one – and make sure that it’s something you won’t feel shy to call out in public. Good luck, Shmoopy!
