Presumeably you don't have an affix. Therefore you have to choose all original names without repeating a word. Remember that some of the names you choose may have already been used by others. Having an affix makes it so much easier!

If you are going to breed regularly then you should have an affix which is a word you put in the beginning of the dogs name, it also helps if you have a theme when naming puppies but don't be tempted to get ideas from your dogs pedigree- be original. I use the name of songs from my favourite band, but make sure you keep a note of what names you have used.

Hi
most people pick aletter or a theme and name the pups after that.For example-the letter 'A'....Archies Lad,Artful dodger etc.Theme....Songs by a fav.pop group,colours etc
Hope this helps.
Why not come up with your theme or letter and ask the board for suggestions?

Hi,

It would be better to have an affix, as Becs says it makes life easier when registering, but you will need to apply to the KC for an affix. :)

When choosing names, we always like to stick to a theme, ie. Winter Magic (Granny), Magic Tassels (Mother) and True Magic (Daughter), this is one of our lines. It makes it more fun sticking to a theme and also it's easier to trace the dogs back if you know there was a theme to the naming.

Hope you have fun with your names, what breed do you have? Some people will use something related to the breed, like some Huskies and malamutes will have snow or ice names, some people use words connected to the dogs country of origin.
