Introduction

If you’ve just brought home a new pet, congratulations! You’re about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. But before you get too far into your new relationship with your puppy, it’s important that you choose the right name for him or her. The first thing to consider is where this name will fit in with your family and lifestyle (for example, don’t pick something just because it sounds cute). The next thing to think about is how well this name will fit into physical space—will it be easy for everyone in the family to say? Will it sound silly when people call by phone or text? Once you have these questions answered, it should be clear which names are most appropriate for your new pet.

Wait until you get your new puppy before making a final decision.

Once you get your new puppy, it can be tricky to choose a name. The longer you wait before coming up with one, the more ideas will come to mind. You may be surprised by how many names you end up liking over time—just don’t rush into anything right away!

It’s also important not to choose a name that sounds like a command; this is especially true if your Maltese is going to be around children who might have trouble saying it correctly. For example, “Bailey” sounds like “bail out” when incorrectly pronounced! Try finding something simple and easy for kids or adults alike to say without making mistakes in pronunciation.

You’ll be surprised by the number of names that you come up with when you wait.

When you’re making a list of potential names for your beloved Maltese puppy, don’t worry about coming up with something that no one else has used before. In fact, don’t worry about what other people will think at all! You might be surprised by how many names you come up with when you wait – and it can take some time to settle on the right one.

So don’t rush into it! Don’t get too attached to the first name that comes into your head as soon as you meet your little Maltese pup (or even after they’ve been here awhile). If there’s another name that seems better in retrospect, then go ahead and change it—or even just think of more names later on down the road!

Don’t choose a name that sounds like a command.

An example of a name that sounds like a command is “Dance,” or “Come.” These names might seem cute when you first think of them, but there are many other names out there that are equally cute while not sounding like commands.

Another example is the name, “Lunchbox.” While this may be funny in some households, it doesn’t convey any personality and could become annoying to hear day after day. If you want your Maltese puppy to have a fun name but still sound sweet, consider choosing something more creative than “Lunchbox.”

Try naming your puppy something that will sound good when it comes to children saying it.

You should always try to pick a name that will sound good when children are saying it. For example, if you choose the name “Bear” for your dog, then small children might be tempted to call him “Bear Bear,” which is not only confusing but also sounds ridiculous. The same goes with names like “Dude.” If your child knows that he or she can say anything they want in front of their new pet and get away with it, then why wouldn’t they? You don’t want your little maltese puppy being called things like Goldie Locks over time because this could lead to confusion (especially if there’s more than one maltese in the household).

When you’re trying out different names for yourself, keep this rule in mind: Don’t choose something whose pronunciation is hard for young ones; don’t choose something that’s tough on the eyes when written down; and lastly don’t use any words that may come off as rude or insulting by themselves alone (even though some dogs might find them hilarious!).

Give yourself a month or so to get used to the puppy before giving him his name.

After you’ve gotten your puppy home, you will want to give him or her a name that you can live with for years. Give yourself at least a month or so to get used to the puppy before choosing a name. This will help you make sure that the dog’s personality fits the name and also give you time to decide if you are okay with calling your Maltese “Scruffy.”

Think about how the name looks on paper for vet records.

When you’re picking a name, consider how it will look on your puppy’s records. The vet office will have them on file, so you’ll need a name that is easily read by the person working there.

You also may want to think about how the name sounds when spoken aloud. If your Maltese has been spayed or neutered, this might not matter as much to you (but still should!).

If all else fails, use their birth date as the name.

If all else fails, use their birth date as the name.

Use a nickname that is related to the birth date.

Use the birth date as the middle name and then use another name for your puppy’s last name (like me).

Consider using a family member’s name, but don’t tell them.

If you are not sure what to call your puppy, ask your friends or family for ideas.

Children love to help name new pets so take advantage of their creative ideas and don’t rule any out offhand!

If you are lucky, one of your children will also be interested in helping choose a name for your new puppy. If so, take advantage of their creative ideas and don’t rule any out offhand!

When it comes to naming puppies, it can be tempting to just decide on a name yourself and end the discussion there. But if you ask around among friends or family members, there may be someone who has an idea for a great name that’s just perfect for your little Maltese pup! Keep an open mind when considering what others offer as suggestions – even if they seem silly or over-the-top at first glance. Your kids might come up with names that you would never have thought of on your own – but could still work perfectly well once they grow into adulthood (and often grow into adulthood by becoming teenagers).

For example: before adopting our newest addition (and youngest) Pippa I had toyed with several possible monikers including “Dolly,” “Mabel” and even “Angelina Jolie.” But then my son suggested “Pippa” which is now her official moniker after all these years – despite its seeming absurdity when put next to so many other possibilities that were rejected along the way!

Conclusion

I hope this article has helped you come up with some great ideas for naming your new Maltese puppy. He/she is going to be your best friend and companion for many years, so it’s important that you pick something special. Good luck!
