While naming your dog or cat after your ex or your mother in law could be very therapeutic, it’s also not very civil, and you will probably end up loving the furry one, and metonymically your ex or in-law, and that can be confusing too. Avoid all those problems by visiting this site: in it you’ll find a list of some 5,000 names for puppies sorted out in a variety of categories to make the quest for a politically correct name a matter of clicks: search for a name with a movie, TV or celebrity story behind it.

Also interesting are the Disney, Harry Potter and Star Wars-related listings: truly something for every taste! Too vane? A list of religious names is available, as is a list of ones with a foreign flair to them. Whatever your preference, you will be able to read a bit about the character, the film/cartoon/book it appears in, or what it means! Interesting perspectives and tips as to what to name and not your pup can be read on the site, and in them you’ll learn that it’s best not to call your dog something that sounds like a command, or why it’s better to avoid a name that you would not be happy to scream at the top of your lungs in a very crowded and open space. There’s even more to Favorite-puppy-names.com: you can download free eBooks dealing with some crucial points in the first stages of your new best friend’s life, like potty training, food secrets or how to teach some cool tricks.
