Frequently asked questions
How does the quiz pick my style?
Each answer adds points to one or more naming styles. After 6 questions, the style with the most points wins. The 20 suggestions are pulled from the iDogNames database, filtered to that style and sorted by popularity.
What are the 6 styles?
Classic (timeless names like Max, Bella), Unique (rare names like Zephyr, Indigo), Mythological (Greek/Norse/Celtic gods and heroes), Pop Culture (Marvel, Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars), Nature (Flower, Mountain, Tree, Star), and Funny (silly names with personality).
Can I take it more than once?
Of course — answers different days might land on different styles. The quiz is intentionally light. The "right" answer is the one that gives you a name you actually love calling at the dog park.
Why are some popular names not in the suggestions?
Suggestions are filtered to your matched style. Bella and Max appear in the Classic list, not Pop Culture. If you want to browse without a style filter, use our random name generator or the A-Z dictionary.
