13 Boston-themed Dog Names For Your Next Fur Baby

One of the most fun things about getting a new dog is coming up with the perfect name. Unless your new fur baby is coming to you with a name already, there will be lots of discussion and debates about what you want them to answer to. If you need some inspiration, look no further than home. Let's talk Boston-themed dog names.

According to Rover.com, there is an art AND a science to picking the right name for your pet. For example, dogs are more likely to respond to certain sounds. They say that when it comes to naming your dog, a major concern is training. Your dog is going to hear their name over and over, and will be learning to respond to it when learning commands. That said, you should avoid choosing a name that sounds like a command. For example, don't use Flo which sounds like "no," or Kit that sounds like "sit." Another tip is to name your dog something that ends in a vowel. In addition to being the most popular dog names like Bella and Luna, they reportedly force you to change the tone of your voice. That's important because names ending in a vowel can be easier for your dog to understand.

More on sounds and dog names. It's said that you want to pick a name that starts with a sharp, distinct sound. A name that starts with a D, T, or K. Names that start with an S or F are softer and could be more confusing for dogs.

Let's face it, when it comes to naming dogs, a lot of people just pick names, or things, they like. For we locals, a Boston-themed name is a great way to express not only the love of our city, but our personality as well. And in Boston, we have lots of options. We could go with popular landmarks, sports stars, Boston slang, and more.
