If you’re as indecisive as I am, then choosing a name for your Cavapoo puppy is going to be tricky. Sometimes you might just take one look at a dog and instantly know what they should be called. But nine times out of ten it’s really not that easy.
A Cavapoo is a friendly and affectionate cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle, and these mixed breeds can come in a whole range of colours and sizes, so one name really doesn’t fit all.
How to Choose a Good Name For Your Cavapoo
Whatever name you choose for your Cavapoo, it needs to be something you’re comfortable with. After all, that name is going to be with you for the rest of their life, so it’s not a decision to rush into lightly. However, you also want to give your dog a name fairly quickly once they come into your life so that they can begin to get used to it and know when you’re calling them.
There are a few things you need to think about when you’re choosing a name for your Cavapoo.
Pronunciation
If you have to explain how to pronounce your Cavapoo’s name to everyone who sees it written down, then that’s going to get boring pretty quickly. Names that are easy to pronounce will make your life easier, and you won’t get frustrated by having to constantly correct people either.
A name that suits your Cavapoo
Think about your dog’s personality and temperament when you’re choosing their name. You might want to go for something cute and understated for a shy Cavapoo, whilst a boisterous dog might demand a more fun, energetic-sounding name.
You could also consider the colour of your Cavapoo when deciding upon a name too, although if you have a puppy you should bear in mind that their colour is very likely to change when they get towards one year old.
Unique names vs common names
Remember that whatever name you choose, you need to be happy to shout that out in the park pretty much on a daily basis. Bear this in mind if you’re thinking of going for a more unique name for your Cavapoo.
Gender
Whilst you’re free to call your Cavapoo whatever you like, some names are most associated with males, whilst others are mostly associated with females. There are lots of gender-neutral names you could choose though if you’d rather go down that route.
Human names vs dog names
Some people strongly feel that you shouldn’t give a dog a “human” name. Our Cavapoo is called Lola, so I don’t fit into that belief, but the decision is most definitely a personal one.
