Instructions
Visit the puppy and play with him before choosing his name. This will allow you to learn his temperament and what he looks like so that you can decide on a suitable name.
Create a list of your favorite things in the world and nature. You may be inspired by your list and be able to come up with a name based on the things you love. For example, Star for a puppy owned by someone who loves space.
Decide if you can choose a name that relates to how the puppy looks. Many people choose names such as Spot and Patch for dogs with spots of color on their bodies.
Think about names of people you like. Some people like to name their animals human names.
Make a list of all the name possibilities and then narrow it down to your absolute favorites. Then, call the puppy by each name and see which one fits him the best.
