Bow Wow: The Somewhat Comprehensive Book Of Dog Names

Product Description:
Choosing a name for a beloved new pet can be so very challenging...stick him with Fido and he might try to bite the mailman. Pin her with a trendy new name like Brittney and she'll be yesterday's news before she's even twenty one in dog years! These delightful little gift books are an adorable solution to finding the perfect name for your new cat or dog.
Pick a "people" name like Cleo, or go Victorian with Charlotte. Make sure the folks at the vet or the dog run know your pet is purebred with a name like Phelps, or tag him as a mutt with Dexter! Bestow certain celebrity (Mr. Peabody), turn your puppy into an action figure (Sparky), or take it straight from the obvious (Barker). Never get stuck with a kitty named Pouncer again!

1000 Dog Names : From A to Z

Review

The first question to answer when bringing a newly acquired dog into the home is: “What shall we call him—or her?” This delightful little book offers guidelines and suggestions to help pet owners come up with the perfect answer. For instance, what is the canine’s type and character? (It would be plain silly, for example, to name a Great Dane Fluffy; or to call a male canine of any breed, Brenda.) But you might want to make a fashion statement, or say something about yourself when you name that pooch. (For instance, a music lover might bless his puppy with a name like Beethoven or Vivaldi.) Perhaps the author’s wisest suggestion is to hold a family conference, simply to make certain that everybody—including the dog—is comfortable with the new name. Here, in any event, are 1000 ideas for naming that puppy. They’re listed alphabetically, and enhanced with dozens of endearing color photos.

Magyar Names for Hungarian Dogs

Reviewer:
Patricia A. Ellis (Covina, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This book goes way beyond a simple list of Hungarian names. The author has provided us with photos and descriptions of dogs originating in Hungary as well as a brief history of the region. The suggested names include their english definitions and aids to pronunciation as well as background into the structure of the language. This is a scholarly work, well researched and yet easy to read. Dog fanciers seeking authentic names for their Hungarian breeds will find it a delight. For owners of dogs of Russian origin, I would also recommend a similar book by this author titled, "Russian Names for Russian Dogs".

When Rover Just Won't Do: Over 2,000 Suggestions for Naming Your Puppy

Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Skipping many of the old standbys, this unusual (if not unique) listing contains potential canine appellations from such diverse sources as literature, history, geography, and cuisine. The book tends to ignore common dog names in favor of more distinctive monikers. Some of the names are really too long to serve as call names, but these longer names are still choices for those seeking a more formal name or one to use in the official registration of their dogs. The authors include short, sometimes humorous comments on each name, often giving the source or definition for that selection. The one substantial omission is a pronunciation guide, as many of the names are from foreign sources. While certainly not an essential reference, this inexpensive volume will serve as both a menu of name choices and a springboard to creative thinking for those searching for just the right name for their special pet.- Stacy Pober, Manhattan Coll.

Here is what Joann Charlesworth "Ciairra Contessa" says about "The Best Pet Name Book Ever!" in his review.
I'm a "dog" person & I put a lot of time & energy into naming my dogs! People who hear me talk about them assume they're actual children because I give them "human" names! None of this "Rover" or "Spot" stuff for me...I give my pets first & middle names! This book was extremely diverse & comprehensive in their name sources..to the common everyone-knows-a-Max-or-Sheba names to the really unique ones! Anyone looking at getting a dog should read this..it truly has a name for every dog personality one could possibly think of! A terrific read & one I'd recommend to anyone!!!
