As soon as a cute and funny puppy appears in the house, the new owner is faced with the question of choosing a nickname for him. This is a word that will be repeated in the house many times, and may also determine the future fate of the animal and the characteristics of its behavior. Therefore, such a matter as naming a pet must be approached with all responsibility.
By naming a little puppy, the owner chooses his fate
General recommendations for choosing a name for a dog
Zoo psychologists believe that an animal’s name should evoke only positive emotions in the owner and those around him, therefore, when coming up with a name for a dog, you can remember pleasant places, your favorite food, or those things that make you smile.
It is advisable to choose a nickname that is not too long (no more than 3 syllables), otherwise it will be difficult and inconvenient for the owner to pronounce it, and the dog simply will not perceive it.
When choosing a name for a pet, you can focus on the color of its fur, size and eye color. If you spend a couple of days observing the puppy, you can determine some of its character traits and basic habits, which will also help give the pet a good, and most importantly, a suitable nickname.
It is highly recommended not to use obscene and vulgar words as a zoonym, as well as nicknames that sound similar to training commands. The first will confuse others and cause negativity towards the dog, and the second will confuse the animal when training begins.
Note! It is undesirable to name a dog after friends or loved ones - they may be offended. Also, this situation can lead to confusion when both people and animals respond to the call.
It is absolutely unacceptable to give pets derogatory nicknames, no matter how funny they sound.
Names for doggie boys
Sounds that are not similar to commands are selected. Sid sometimes sounds like “sit.” This option will quickly confuse any animal.
The names of objects or some positive associations from the past are suitable. The place where the owners once vacationed, the names of islands, cocktails, cities or countries. Fiction, films, names of stage characters help awaken imagination.

Features of choosing a name for a Pekingese
The choice of nicknames for the Pekingese is almost limitless; you can choose one that matches any letter of the alphabet. However, the first thing to consider is the size of the animal.
The Pekingese is a cute and funny dog of very compact size, and calling it Thunder or Bogatyr would be simply stupid. The dog's muzzle is flattened, and when he shows his teeth, he simply smiles. Pekingese have a very expressive appearance with huge round eyes - this property can be used when choosing nicknames for Pekingese girls and boys
By nature, representatives of the breed are cunning and assertive, as well as somewhat capricious and finicky, since they are of royal origin and are accustomed to growing up in the hands of the nobility and in their palaces. Therefore, aristocratic, as well as exotic-sounding “oriental” zoonyms will come in handy for the Pekingese.
To make the right choice you need to pay attention to the following nuances:
Firstly, what kind of character your pet has. To do this, you need to spare your own time and watch the puppy a little. Study his manners, habits and behavior in general. And there it will become clear what character traits and qualities predominate in him.
Secondly, names for Pekingese dogs should not be very long. Nicknames for male Pekingese, as for other breeds, should be easy to pronounce and sonorous. So that the animal can remember it and then respond to the call.
In addition, if it so happens that you have chosen a long name, then there must be a shortened version. And it must also meet all the above criteria.
Thirdly, when choosing a nickname for a pet, you need to remember that it should not sound somehow obscene or offensive. Since it can have a bad effect on the education process.
Fourthly, it is also not recommended to call the dog by a human name, which is common in your country. Because it’s simply inconvenient when every second passerby will respond to your cry. Agree, this is an awkward situation.
Fifthly, you should not name your new pet by the name of the previous animal, as this can transmit negative energy to the puppy and negatively affect its fate. It's better to choose something new and interesting.
Sixthly, dog experts recommend choosing names where voiced consonants have an advantage: b, v, d, l, n, r. And first of all, you need to avoid combinations of voiceless consonants: k, p, t, x, sh.
If we talk specifically about choosing a nickname for a Pekingese boy, then you need to take into account the following features of these creatures:
The Pekingese is a very small animal, so nicknames that are menacing or intimidating in nature are absolutely not suitable for it. It will look more funny and ridiculous than menacing or intimidating. Therefore, such a miniature animal needs a suitable nickname that would emphasize its small size. It must be taken into account that this is a dog of royal blood, therefore its nickname should be appropriate. That is, refined and beautiful.
Nicknames for Pekingese boys
The first thing people pay attention to when meeting a new pet is its color. Depending on the color of the fur, a Pekingese boy can be called Black, Schwartz, Coal, Nero, Apricot, Red, White, Snowball, Milk, Amber, Smoke, Leva, Chang (sand color).
For brutal males
Pekingese boys, despite their modest size, can be terrible bullies, capricious and somewhat brutal, and excellent bell watchmen.
Such individuals can be given the appropriate “fighting” nickname: Arnie, Boss, Schwarzenegger, Bolt, King, Bruce, Mars, Scout, Dad, Caesar, August.
Pekingese can look very brutal
Funny and cool nicknames
Cute and funny dogs will be very “befitting” with the same funny and cool names (children come up with them especially cool): Smile, Hobbit, Chicho, Bucks, Bux, Vinnie, Lux, Laiki, Elfik, Buggy, Gavs, Mao.
Foreign nicknames for boys
Names that differ from the usual Russian ones sound very beautiful and unusual; they harmonize well with the exotic appearance of the Pekingese. For example: Enrique, Gray, Maurice, Dave, Dobie, Leo, Justin, Charlie, Arthur, Kurt, Joni, Miguel, Eric, Sheldon, Marek, Derek Texas, Brian.
Names of your favorite characters
When solving the problem of what to name a Pekingese boy, owners often turn to their favorite characters from books, films (including cartoons), sports, and the Internet community.
This list can include: Ringo, Ivanhoe, Ermak, Dante, Diesel, Pele, ScoobyDoo, Pax, Casper, Vinnie, Tyson, Rambo, Baloo, Zipper, Keanu, Neo.
Nicknames for Pekingese girls
The female Pekingese is a cute fluffy creature, reverent and loving attention, slightly selfish, but affectionate and easy to train. Girls easily remember their nicknames, so the owner simply needs to reward his pet with a suitable sonorous name.
Beautiful names
Beautiful and gentle-sounding zoonyms will suit the fluffy beauty, such as: Bella, Dolly, Molly, Sherry, Deya, Medea, Savelina, Josephine, Aphael, Celine, Bonita, Guzel, Nymph, Mallow, Cleo, Beata.
Beautiful names suit Pekingese girls
Cool nicknames
Even in such an aristocratically “imperial” breed as the Pekingese, one can discern comical features.
- If you beat them in the nickname of a female, it can turn out very funny and playful: Toffee, Cranberry, Buska, Panda, Plum, Zhuzha, Buka or Byaka, Pusya.
- Old Russian names will also look cute: Glasha, Lyusya, Fekla, Stepasha, Akulina.
Additional Information. Children often call their pets cartoonishly: Gadget, Belle, Ariel, Barbie, Simba, Zara, Umka, Maya, Moana.
Aristocratic names for girls
A noble dog name will only emphasize the aristocratism of the breed and its centuries-old history, giving the dog a sedate and imposing character: Niloya, Kalilla, Diana, Agatha, Lady, Queen, Grace, Dame, Khyurem, Patricia.
Aristocratic nicknames are good for royal Pekingese
Foreign nicknames for girls
A beautiful-sounding foreign name will add mystery to the dog (here you can use proper names, because the chance of meeting the “namesake” is small).
As an example, you can take: Sherry, Jesse, Donna, Kerry, Faya, Chloe, Emma, Gella, Sandy, Vassa, Alba, Oprah, Irma, Aisha, Dora, Elise, Sharon, Dolce.
Attention! Of course, it’s a good idea to find out the meaning of this word before naming it, so as not to accidentally name the dog something indecent or inappropriate.
The most original name
The Pekingese girl is a fluffy creature that demands attention to herself, it’s not for nothing that she was brought up in the imperial chambers. She is very proud and feels like an important person, hence her selfish tendencies.
The Pekingese will not tolerate it when the owner's attention is switched from him to another animal or person. The girl’s dog’s name should be selected based on her character traits, as well as the pedigree and documents for the puppy.
If you don’t want to hear a similar nickname somewhere, someday, then go the following way - give the name based on the first letters of the parents’ names. Let these be the first 2-3 letters. For example, dad's name is Ronnie, and mom's name is Leila. Then the Pekingese girl can be called Lero or Leiro.
You definitely won’t see a dog with that name at every turn. But make sure that the girl herself likes this name. To teach your Pekingese her name, say it at feeding time every time you fill her food bowl.
An original name will be obtained if you think carefully, using oriental words with a special meaning. For example, Kyoki is happy, Ivory, Hana is blooming, Sakura is cherry blossom, Mitsu is shining, Yumi is a dream, Nariko is a gentle baby, and so on.
No matter how much the owners want to give the Pekingese an original name, the main thing is not to overdo it; they should be called softly, without harsh, rude or growling sounds, without long names. Pekingese will have difficulty digesting such information when the owner begins to accustom the dog to its nickname. Better - simpler, but tasteful.
For those who are interested in cinema or music, it is easier in this regard. They can name a dog after their favorite actress or singer, isn’t it original? The same applies to other hobbies, for example, beads - Bead, sewing - Button, Fishing - Fly. And so on until the list of hobbies ends. As you can see, these dog names are simpler, but they do not degrade the dignity of the little princess.
Names that reflect character
Sometimes even small Pekingese puppies already demonstrate their temper; they are, as a rule, bold and lively. If the owner “hits the mark”, the animal will happily respond to its name, otherwise you should choose another one as soon as possible so that the Pekingese does not get scared or offended.
A small but determined lion dog can be called: Quick, Shustrik, Beetle, Drago, Bumblebee, Archibald, Hurricane, Khaki, Diesel, Chuck, Boomer, Wind, Wolf, Addie, Norman, Viking, Bruce, Wheelis.
If your pet is the embodiment of calm and prudence, it should be Tobik, Paul, Lucky, Charlie, Danny, Lighty, Tootsie.
What to name a show dog
Pedigree puppies, which are planned to be used at exhibitions in the future, must be named brightly, memorablely and with meaning. As is customary among horse breeders, for show animals the nickname is formed according to the first names of the parents written in the puppy’s pedigree.
For example, a girl from Wolf and Danae will be Volda, and a boy from Harold and Selina will be Segar.
You can emphasize the Chinese origin of the Pekingese, but be sure to check its meaning with a dictionary.
Important! For a show career, dogs only need a noble, pleasant-to-hear name - humorous and simply cute nicknames are inappropriate.
Show Pekingese are often named after their parents.

Popular wisdom says that you not only gave the dog a name, but also defined its character. This relationship is quite understandable. Any living creature is extremely sensitive to the sounds around it.
Dogs, due to their excellent hearing, react more sharply to combinations of growling sounds. Some dog experts are convinced that this can provoke the dog to show aggression.
In any case, try to use names that contain predominantly voiced consonants. Such as b, c, d, l, n, r. And avoid combinations of voiceless consonants k, p, t, x, sh.
For a Pekingese boy with a calm character, Tim or Toby is perfect. Pluto or Paol. Energetic and active specimens, Archie, Lucky, Like, Charlie, Sparky, Oscar.
And also, the nickname can speak eloquently about the character of the puppy, for example Podliza, Sprinter, Quiet or Tishka, Sniper or even Partizan.
It happens that the color of the animal’s fur plays a major role in choosing a nickname. So, puppies with a golden, red color are often called Goldie or fox. Owners of snow-white wool, snowball or kefir.
Black, Black or Diesel, and brown, Brown. Because of its fluffiness, the puppy can be safely called Fluffy or Puffy.
Choosing a name for a Pekingese, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, must be approached with all responsibility.
