Choosing a call name

The directory fields cannot decide how your household will use either name. Try these checks aloud:

  1. Say each candidate in your normal voice and in the way you would call a dog outside. Check the nickname you are likely to use.
  2. Say each candidate beside your actual cues and other pet or family names. Similar-sounding words deserve a closer listen; a spelling check cannot predict a dog's response.
  3. Choose the name your household can say and use consistently. Meaning and origin can help break a tie if both calls work for you.
