Most people love animals, which is why many homes have pets. From small kittens to exotic turtles. Pets have a wide variety of nicknames. Some call their favorite Napoleon, while others Vaska or Bobik. In fact, when choosing a nickname, the owner must take into account some important points.
Instructions
Step 1
The selection of a nickname for a pet is quite an exciting experience. After all, this is not just a meaningless set of letters, it is coded information on which the fate and behavior of the animal directly depends. Choosing a name for your pet, you choose his character. Take your time, do not use the first words that come across. Think about the name given to an animal for many years.
Step 2
There are so many ways to name an animal. Some people, for example, look for beautiful sonorous words in a geographic atlas. Others give pets human names. Or you can just find a database of nicknames on the Internet. Pay attention to the breed of the animal. Agree, a lapdog with the name Sheriff will look ridiculous. You can select the name that corresponds to the pet's birth time. Observing his habits and character traits can also suggest the right decision. Of no small importance is the appearance of the animal and its color.
Step 3
When purchasing an animal from a club, you may be offered the first letter for its name. In this case, if you want to name your pet differently, you can write down any nickname in your passport, and call it whatever you like at home. Also, double names are perfectly acceptable.
Step 4
Animals should be named according to their gender. Often, due to the carelessness of the owners, in the second year of his life, the Marquis turns out to be the Marquis. Also, do not give your pet a name that you often use. For example, people often name an animal after a son or wife, wondering why later the pet does not respond to the call.
Step 5
It is not advisable to give the name of a lost or deceased animal. It is believed that this will convey all the past negativity to the pet. Every animal has the right to a new life. If your pet has already appeared with a nickname, then you should not change it. Also, remember that animals do not understand the diminutive form of their names and do not always respond to them. In such cases, they simply react to the owner's voice and intonation.
Step 6
Often, having acquired a small puppy or kitten, the new owners, succumbing to affection, call the baby Fluffy or Lyalya. But this is not the best option, because the baby will sooner or later grow into a large dog or an important cat.
Step 7
If you are the owner of several animals, then when choosing a nickname, try to make the names sound different. Consonant nicknames will make all animals respond to your commands at the same time.
Step 8
Cats are most often called simple, sonorous names. Everything from the fact that cats respond well to hissing letters, which, apparently, is due to the imitation of a mouse squeak. Therefore, try to choose cat names that contain hissing sounds. For example, fluffy couch potatoes will like such names as Fluff, Vaska, Tishka, etc.
Step 9
Dogs prefer short and sonorous nicknames. The most acceptable option would be a word consisting of two syllables. Moreover, it is better if it starts with a consonant letter. Jack, Roni, Charlie, and others would be good options. Also, do not call the dog a name that is consonant with the main training commands, for example, Fas.
Step 10
Names for other small pets, such as hamsters, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, are most often chosen by owners depending on the color, appearance or character of their favorite animal. So, a nimble animal can become a Meteor, a cunning one - a Rogue, lazy and well-fed - a Donut or Zhorik. Fluffy pets most often acquire the nickname Fluffy or Fluffy. Their fur color can also prompt you to make the right decision. The white favorite is Snowball, the gray one is Smoke or Gray, wool with a reddish tint will give him the nickname Ginger. The nicknames given in honor of famous people are perfect for these animals. Such as Shakespeare, Caesar or Sherlock. Prince, Baron, or Count would also be suitable names. In general, it all depends on your imagination.
Step 11
If you become the owner of a poultry, you will have to invent a nickname for it. Try to take into account the fact that if the bird is speaking, then the pronunciation of the nickname will have to be learned with it. Therefore, it will not be possible to rename it in the future. Choose a name containing such consonants as w, h, w, w, g, d, f, r, avoid letters z, s, c. Then, soon the bird will start calling itself by name.
You should not invent too long a nickname. First of all, take a closer look at the pet, its habits and disposition, also take into account the sex of the parrot. A large elegant bird can be called Jacques, a food lover - Zhora, chirping birds can be called Chip, Chick or Chuck. Handsome can be nicknamed Cupid or Almaz, good-natured - Antosha, Afonya or Archik. Beautiful names of Irisha, Arisha, Kira are suitable for a pretty bird-girl, the merry-go-round can be called Chita, Chesh, Krosh. The nicknames sound interesting: Bun and Kiwi.
Step 12
Say your pet's name more often, especially when feeding. Remember to reward the animal when it responds to the call.
