📝 How to choose a dog name well

Favor a short name (1–2 syllables), with a clear sound (open vowels) and avoid homophones with commands (“Sit”, “No”). Test it out loud, watch the dog’s reaction, and keep consistency with its morphology, personality, and your lifestyle. In France, LOF dogs follow an official letter per year: useful if you want to respect this tradition while staying original.
