Choosing the right Peter Pan inspired name can be challenging; to begin, allow some time to get to know your new addition. Temperament, character and behavior are certainly key considerations that you might want to contemplate when making your choice. A small, cute, or delicate pooch could suit the name Tinkerbell, Iridessa or Periwinkle. A caring and protective dog may suit the name Wendy or Millicent, whereas a pet that needs mothering could be named after a lost boy, like Ace, Cubby, Curly, Tootles or Slightly. Is your dog brave? Perhaps the moniker Nibs would be just the fit.

If your dog is greedy when it comes to food, or a little mischievous and bossy, a pirate name could be perfect. Names like Hook, Skylights or Foggerty may be ideal. Take a look at the name suggestions in this guide and make a list of any names you like for your new addition. If you still can’t decide, why not discuss it with family or friends?
