Introduction

The color blue is usually associated with calmness, cleanliness and stability. Blue is the color of the sea and the sky, which helps bring about a sense of tranquility. This is why a lot of people like the color blue. Even for pet owners, a blue dog is a unique choice. There are certain dog breeds with blue coats, such as the Blue Bay Shepherd, Italian Greyhound, Australian Cattle Dog and Thai Ridgeback, among others. However, this โ€œblue coatโ€ is more of a gray or silver shade as opposed to a striking blue color. In any case, these blue dogs are still impressive looking and are definite eye-turners.

Blue Dog Name Considerations

One of the privileges of owning a new dog is coming up with a new name for them. One of the most straightforward ways to come up with a new name is to use the dogโ€™s coat color as inspiration. Obviously, for blue dogs, a name that is reminiscent of their coat color is a good choice. Some good name ideas for a blue-coated dog include โ€œSkyโ€, โ€œAshโ€ or โ€œGlacierโ€.

Of course, you may choose to look at the other attributes of your dog when brainstorming for a name. It may either be based on your dogโ€™s build, size, markings, country of origin, personality and even unique quirks that your dog may have.

Another thing to consider is that dogs only usually remember the first one or two syllables of a word. Therefore, giving your dog a long name might not make sense in the long run, given that they would not be able to remember it. The best solution would be to choose a short name, with a maximum of two syllables. If you already have a longer name in mind that you really want to give to your dog, make sure that there is a shortened form that you can use as a nickname.
