Naming Tips: Choosing the Perfect Name
After scrolling through all those options, how do you actually make the final call? Here are some tips that have helped countless Silky parents find the perfect name:
1. Watch Your Pup’s Behavior
Spend a few days observing your new Silky Terrier. Do they zoom around like crazy? Maybe “Dash” or “Zoom” is fitting. Are they particularly elegant when they walk? “Duchess” or “Prince” might be perfect.
2. Keep It Short and Sweet
Names with one or two syllables are easier for dogs to recognize. They’re also easier to call out when you’re at the dog park! “Bella” is easier to call out than “Bellatrix Lestrange.”
3. Avoid Command Confusion
Steer clear of names that sound like common commands. “Kit” might sound too much like “sit,” and “Bo” could be confused with “no.”
4. Test It Out
Before you make it official, try calling out the name and see if your pup responds. Sometimes dogs seem to have opinions about their names!
5. Consider the Long-Term
That cute puppy name might not feel right when your dog is older. “Baby” might be adorable for a puppy but less fitting for an adult dog.
6. Make It Unique at the Dog Park
If you frequently visit dog parks, you might want to avoid the most popular names like “Bella,” “Max,” or “Charlie” to prevent confusion when calling your dog.
7. Match Your Naming Style
Do you want something classic? Funny? Sophisticated? Choose a name that fits your personal style as well as your dog’s personality.

Remember, your pup will quickly learn to associate their name with attention, love, and care from you. Some dogs even develop a special tail wag or head tilt just for when they hear their special name!
Don’t stress too much about finding the “perfect” name right away. Some owners find that their dog’s true personality emerges after a few weeks at home, and the ideal name becomes obvious. Others try out a few names before settling on the one that sticks.
What matters most is choosing a name you love saying—because you’ll be saying it thousands of times throughout your life together with your Silky Terrier!
