Only you can name your Havanese. Sometimes there’s a name that you have picked out before they even come home. Other times you have to take a look at their personality before a name really clicks. So, what are some things to consider?
Personality
Most of the time, it’s quite easy to pick out a name once you see your puppy’s character. Certain dogs will fit a name just based on how they behave. For instance, sharper-sounding names might fit mischievous dogs better.
However, a softer-sounding name might work better for a slightly more relaxed dog. Personality speaks volumes about the character.
Origin
Some owners like to keep things authentic to a breed’s origins. If you’re one of those people, you might try to pick out a Cuban name for your Havanese puppy. You can call them something special that goes hand-in-hand with their lineage.
Preference
Sometimes you flat out just like the way a name sounds. There really doesn’t have to be some deeper meaning, and it doesn’t always have to fit right off the bat. A puppy will grow into its name no matter what you choose.
You are going to be the one who uses the name for the rest of your dog’s life. It might as well be something that you absolutely love.
