When you are picking out Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy names, it might be hard to make a final decision. After all, there might be so many you like—or you might not think any of the ones you find sound fitting.
So, while you’re mulling over names, here are some things to keep in mind.
Pick a Name You’ll Enjoy Using – You are the person who is going to say your dog’s name more than anyone else. It shouldn’t really matter what other people think about it—pick a name you are crazy about. It could be one you had stowed away for the perfect pet or one you just like the sound of. There doesn’t always have to be a rhyme or reason as to why something strikes your taste.
Pick a Name Based on Heritage – If you want the name to have a special meaning to the breed, try to pick a name from the country of your dog’s origins. In the instance of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, they are from Great Britain. There are plenty of choices to think about!
Draw Out of a Hat – If you have several names you like and you simply can’t decide—don’t. Put all the names in a hat or choose a random picker online to make the decision for you.
