I have 7 dogs to name today and I am out of inspiration. I usually do some sire x dam combo. Do you guys have a go-to source for creativity?

When all else fails, I look for song titles with the appropriate word in them. I use a lot of musical names. Or place names. Or people names. I have been known to sit staring at the laptop for 20 minutes waiting for inspiration. With 5 kennels and I can't remember how many breeds, it does get tough. That's why now I sell most of my dogs unnamed except for some where I am really into the bloodlines. You used to be able to do a Google search using *, as in 'black *' and get expressions etc starting with black but that doesn't seem to work anymore. |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) I've used inspirations from books I've read, song/movie titles and lyrics. I've used baby name sources (German names for Weimaraners, Welsh names for Welsh Terriers). Sometimes I just go through the alphabet(names beginning with A, with B, etc.) Depends how creative I feel, or not - lol. For Arabian Horses and Salukis www.20000-names.com/male_arabian_names.htm https://welshgirlsnames.co.uk/ Most of these name sources have links to other national/ethnic regions, if you wanted a Spanish name for instance. For Pharoah Hounds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ancient_Egyptians I've also googled the origins of the breed and used place names from the region. ----- Last edited by gaylanstudio on 7/10/2021 6:49:46 PM |

this post has been edited 7 time(s) One of my favourite sources is the site "Fantastic Fiction". I use the search tool, select books, then type in a word, eg Irish, Dance, Magic. And then go through the book titles that come up for that word. Hundreds of titles in there.......... and a lot of very good names https://www.fantasticfiction.com/ Other very good sites: www.20000-names.com/index.htm https://www.mithrilandmages.com/index.php https://www.behindthename.com/ https://thestoryshack.com/ The link is not working from here for some reason https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/ Have fun!! ----- Last edited by Aussiewolfsister on 7/10/2021 9:31:10 PM |

Thank you all! Great suggestions and I have bookmarked those links. I use single names in two of my other kennels so the name ones will come in handy. As I was doing research on some plants this morning, I ran across this website that has fun names for their varieties. I guess inspiration is everywhere and came to me, too https://www.provenwinners.com/ |

people usually named their dog with something sweet or food-related like Hershey, kisses, etc. |
