Dog Names Meaning Colorful

Introduction

Don't you just love watching him play? And, the way he cuddles up so close just melts your heart, right? No...it's not the hubby or your son to whom I am referring ... but rather, it is that adorable little ball of fur that's curled up in your lap right now. But, he doesn't have a name yet, does he? Do you know what you'll finally decide to call him? I know that you're probably stewing about his name and building up some stress over it and, by all means, don't just give in to naming him Fido or Rover just to get the job done. Attack this task as you would any other...with a plan.

Dog Names Meaning Colorful in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog with a Name Meaning Colorful

Blue

Blue, from the interactive animated TV show Blue's Clues, is a dog character that gives us a great starting point. This character is a blue puppy with darker blue spots and a dark blue nose. She has white eyes with black pupils and a pink tongue which is quite noticeable when she opens her mouth. Her big floppy ears complete the adorable animated canine look. She is intelligent and talks to Steve or Joe by barking, communications which they seem to understand. In every episode, she starts a game which requires clues to be given and answered to arrive at the result. She leaves three paw print clues for Steve or Joe and the viewer to use to solve the riddle or puzzle. This TV series, aimed at preschoolers and younger viewers, enjoyed 10 years of fun and was nominated for 9 Emmy Awards during that time. Those 10 years of fun were instrumental for educating as well as entertaining preschoolers and younger viewers world wide.

Our second featured famous dog with a colorful name from pop culture is a yellow stray dog named Old Yeller. This movie, depicted in the 1860's, involves a teenaged boy being left with his mother and younger brother to manage the ranch while his dad goes off on a cattle drive. As the tale goes, this mangy stray dog shows up for an uninvited visit with the family. Travis, the teenaged boy, reluctantly befriends the stray yellow dog and grows to love and respect the old dog after a number of incidents involving raccoons, snakes, bears and virtually all manner of animals known to live in the area. Old Yeller has a profound effect on Travis' life at that time as well as later, even as the happy scene changes to one of trials and tough decisions.

Both of these colorfully named canines show a degree of loyalty, intelligence and love which can teach everyone, regardless of age, about unconditional love and devotion.

Meaning Colorful Dog Name Considerations

Naming that new puppy can be a frustrating task to be sure but it really doesn't have to be so if you can approach it with a plan. That plan can consist of considering things like his gender, his coat color, his breed or even his cute little habit of standing on your chest, licking your nose to awaken you in the morning. That plan should also include other members of the family who can help with suggestions to stimulate your imagination...and the kids' imagination as well! You'd be surprised how much help they can be in this area, regardless of their ages or genders. Another suggestion is to have a theme or two to consider, and we are suggesting that you consider dog names that mean colorful. Keep it fun and keep it simple for everyone, including the new littlest furry family member. One other thing to remember is this: when considering his name, be sure to choose one which will not embarrass you or anyone else when it is necessary to call him loudly in public places, for example from across the dog park, down the street or from two blocks away.
