Koreans love to play with dog names by making up verbal puzzles with them. For example, the Korean singer and actress Honey Lee has two male dogs, Gamsa and Haeyo. If we put their names together, we get the phrase “I am truly grateful.” Another trend among Korean dog breeders is to give their dogs nicknames that mean different delicacies (mainly desserts). For example, Zelo (a member of the group BAP) has a Spitz named Mochi (the so-called rice cake), and drama star Park Shin Hye named her dog after the seaweed Nori.

Japanese Nicknames | Names for cats with meaning | The mystery of the name

How to name a cat in Japanese, so that the name suits its character or appearance? Since the Eastern language is beautiful and poetic, finding the right name will not be difficult. Among the Japanese themselves, the furry creature is considered a wise animal, in whose honor they often organize holidays. In Japan, a cat sounds like “neko”, and the purr is called not with the usual “kiss-kiss”, but with the repeated phrase “shu-shu”. On December 8th, all residents of the country celebrate “Cat Day”.

Typically, pet lovers choose a nickname based on the character of the animal. So they call a good hunter Daisuke (translated as “great help”), and a brave kitten they call Katsu (“victory”). Japanese names for cats sound unusual and interesting. Many Japanese give a nickname, taking into account the age at which the cat was born. The first will be called Ichiro, the second - Jiro, the fifth - Goro.

How to choose the right nickname

Breeders and ordinary owners have different methods for selecting nicknames. In the first case, all the canons and rules by which a particular nursery names its puppies must be observed:

1. The dog's nickname will begin with the letter that appears under the litter number in the alphabet (each kennel has its own order, the year of birth or month may be involved, one way or another, all puppies from a particular mother are named with the same letter);
2. There must be a name prefix that refers to the place of origin of the parents, the puppy’s homeland, the name of the kennel (it can be located either before or after the main nickname, for example, Vanessa iz Zolotologo Luch or Sheriff aga Alpha);
3. Animals registered in the club are not given prefixes, only nicknames in alphabetical order, they are registered in the stud books;
4. The full nickname should not exceed 40 characters, only 15 of them can be allocated to the prefix;
5. According to the rules, a name can only be used again after 30 years.

The owner who bought a puppy is faced with long, inconvenient names and, most often, shortens them. So the dog will turn from Patricia into Patty.

Under normal circumstances, of course, pets are not called pretentious phrases consisting of prefixes, endings, names of a club or kennel. But there are several recommendations that will help you choose a loud, successful nickname.

Scientists have long found out that a dog understands only the first 4 letters, therefore the nickname should be as short as possible with the emphasis on the first syllables. The best option would be two-syllable names.

Another rule is the minimal use of “growling” and “barking” sounds. This can provoke aggression or misunderstanding of the pet. In addition, you cannot use words that are consonant with basic commands (“Fu”, “Come to me”, “Nearby”, etc.), similar to the names of household members.

It will be better if the nickname reflects the character, appearance and pedigree of the puppy. Although if this recommendation is not followed, really funny nicknames can result. For example, if the mongrel is named Duchess.
