Many people who decide to get a dog try to choose an unusual nickname for their four-legged friend.

But some new pet owners decide not to be original: they simply give the dog a human name. However, this choice can hardly be called good.

You shouldn't name your dog Boris, Vasya, Kuzya, Misha or Sonya.

A person raising a pet with such a nickname will certainly face numerous difficulties.

Why Dogs Shouldn't Be Called Human Names

The reason is very simple: a person can also have the same name.

Agree, you will find yourself in an awkward situation if you say your dog's name while walking, but some pedestrian decides that you are addressing him by name.

In addition, it is possible that you will have a friend or life partner who has the same name as your pet.

Firstly, it won't look pretty. Secondly, it won't be without confusion.

Under what conditions can a dog be given a human name?

And yet, a dog can be named after a person. But it is important to observe one condition.

So, the chosen nickname should be a name that is very rarely used in your country.

In other words, foreign names are suitable for dogs. Archie, Jacques, Jean, Mickey, Stephen and so on are good options.
