Fido Ain't Gonna Cut It: Choosing a Cool Name for your Dog

I've always regretted naming my dog Shaliqua. But, what's done is done.

There's still time for you to find a great name for your dog, though!

The best place to find a cool name for your dog is from Greek and Roman mythology. Search on the internet for pages about famous characters from ancient myth and you're sure to come across a few cool names that are suitable for your pet.

You'll also need to consider the breed of your dog. Is it known for its strength, beauty, or intelligence? When searching for a cool name from mythology, you might do a little research and see which characters were famous for those same attributes!

If you'd really like to find the perfect name for your dog, try searching for books on mythological characters in Greek and Roman history at Amazon.com. Skimming through the Oxford Concise Companion to Classical Literature is sure to reveal some great names, along with brief descriptions of the stories and attributes that made them legendary!

There are other cultures, like the Irish and the Norse, that have rich mythological histories as well. These are worth searching, too, especially if you have a German or Irish breed. The possibilities are endless!

The bottom line is that you need to find a name for your dog that you'll be happy with, and hopefully one that other people will admire and find interesting as well.

So do some reading, have some fun and let the naming begin!
