Nashville Dog Name Considerations

There's lots to consider when it comes time to name your new puppy. What does he look like? What does his personality tell you about him? Is he black, white, tan, or brown? Big or little? So many things to think about before you make the big decision. 

The most important thing about a dog name is that you like it. You'll say it dozens of times over the years so it needs to reflect your taste.  The new dog will be part of your family so at the very least, deserves thoughtful consideration put into his name.

A simple name usually works best. One or two syllables that doesn't sound similar or rhyme with commands the pup will need to learn. This will help your dog learn his name faster and lessen confusion. It may be cute to give your new dog a name that goes with your old dog's name, Hank and Tank, but they are too similar to work well together for the dogs' sake. When giving your dog a Nashville-inspired name you have a lot to choose from: celebrities, neighborhoods, historical figures, and more are all in the running so choose carefully and have fun.
