Pro Tips for Picking the Perfect Christmas Name
Say it loud at the park test – “Sprout! Come!” still funny on 26th December? You’re golden.
Two syllables max for recall – “Figgy” works, “Figgy Pudding” gets shortened anyway.
Match the personality – a tiny Chihuahua called Blizzard is comedy gold; a giant Newfie called Sprout is equally brilliant.
Future-proof it – will “Pandemic Puppy Kevin” still feel cute in 2030? (Yes, yes it will.)
Whatever you choose, a Christmas name guarantees your dog will be the star of every festive photo for years to come. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to take Gingerbread Nutmeg Sprout for her morning walk.What’s your dog called this Christmas?
