What is the name of a Maltese? Nicknames for Maltese dogs. Nicknames for the Maltese What nickname to give the Maltese

You can hardly find a sweeter and touching creature than a little dog! Pesikov small breeds Everyone loves it, not just girls, sometimes even men can’t refuse this four-legged friend. But what do you call a miniature pet? After reading our article, you will know exactly what the best nicknames for small dogs for boys and girls are!

[Hide]

We select nicknames

Of course, basically it turns out that the nickname is more the “face” of the owner, and not the dog, because he bears all the responsibility for what his pet will be called. Therefore, think, select options, but do not become too sophisticated; originality is, of course, good, but it should also have its limits. In addition, animal psychologists claim that dogs react only to the first 2-3 syllables in the name, they simply don’t hear the rest. This explains why experienced breeders insist that the name should not be too long or difficult to pronounce.

And even if the name turns out to be long, for example, the pedigree requires it, then later it is “shortened” to an acceptable option. Those who are just planning to have one may mistakenly believe that coming up with a name for it is as easy as shelling pears. Say, for little puppy Bim or Ball is suitable for a boy, and a Button for a girl. However, there are no fewer options for babies than for all other breeds.

By the way, there is also a fashion for nicknames for small dogs, just like for human names. For example, in XVIII-XIX centuries, when the mass “disease” of dogs began, names were given to puppies based on their appearance or character. You could often meet a dog named Robber or Scarecrow. The beginning of the 20th century is marked by the fashion of names from mythology, in post-war years Dogs Bold, Brave, Faithful began to appear, and this was regardless of size. After all, kids are often distinguished by their strong-willed and warlike character.

After the first dogs traveled to Space, the pets began to be called Squirrels, Strelkas, and Ryzhiks. The 90s and perestroika “Americanized” all names for dogs and a lot of Smiles, Jacks, and Oranges appeared. Currently, we can observe a symbiosis of all “fashions”; names for puppies are varied and varied. Most often, they reflect the values ​​and tastes of the owner, perhaps even his field of activity, but also, of course, the character of the pet.

Depending on size

Of course, you should pay attention to the breed of your dog and its size. The smallest decorative breeds, such as the Chihuahua, Toy Terrier or Maltese, require something graceful and playful. They are sometimes given poetic and tender names, such as Antonio, Perinter, Gratiano, Ludivico. Not so pretentious, but also pleasant to the ear nicknames are also suitable for the smallest boy puppies, this could be Pint, Pepsik, Pixel, Little, Peach.

Yorkshire terriers are recommended English nicknames that emphasize the origin of the kids, for example, Harvey, Trevor, Bagin, Crocs. The dachshund is also a small dog, however, it simply asks for a stricter name, especially if your dog is a hunter. It seems to us that Dexter the dachshund is an ideal option. The small breed Pug also has its own characteristics, these dogs look like a little clumsy good-natured people. Therefore, it is better to choose a name for them that is soft and without aggression.

Since these dogs come from the East, they have recently often been given nicknames in the Japanese style, such as Keiko, Momo, Sachi. For those who are not fans of such exotic names, Grove, Chuck, Prince, Slip, Sprinter should be an acceptable option. Another popular small breed is the Pekingese. Beautiful dogs With interesting story They have a balanced, somewhat thoughtful character, and love attention and praise. The names Fido, Balt, Oscar, Archie are suitable for them. For girls we recommend Nika or Iris.

When you take a small dog of an unknown breed, but they assure you that the dog will be no larger than a thimble, do not rush to call the pet Tiny or Baby. It often happens that outbred small mestizos later grow into real wolfhounds, and then the name Krokha will look somewhat strange. And one more piece of advice: try to name the puppy so that all family members like its name equally. Agree, if you don’t like the dog’s name, then your attitude towards the dog itself will not be the same.

From mythology and literature

Mythology in general serves as a storehouse of various or girls. Especially if you go beyond the Greek mythology familiar to many and turn to the myths and legends of Scandinavia or the East, then the variants of nicknames will number in the hundreds, if not thousands. In addition, if you name a dog after a deity - the patron of any elements or a symbol of, say, good luck, then you can hope that your home four-legged deity will bring good luck to you too.

Of course, among the names of the ancient gods more options majestic, suitable for large and respectable dogs, the same Zeus or Atlas are hardly suitable for a baby. However, for example, Apollo can be adapted for a small boy puppy. In addition, small dogs can be called Veles (this is our native Slavic god - the patron of animals) or Hector. You can even try on the name Hercules for your dog, it may look ironic and interesting. Also for little boys you can consider the following options: Dionysus, Icarus, Loki, Odysseus, Orpheus, Perseus, Paris, Phoenix, Aeneas.

For girls there may be even more options. If your baby is very tender and touching, the name of the ancient Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, comes to mind first. We also liked Aurora, Athena, Bona, Venus, Victoria, Gella, Daphne, Ishtar, Calypso, Lucina, Melissa, Muse, Nymph, Selena, Feya. Agree, a lawyer with a dog named Themis, a florist with a pet named Flora, and a writer or artist next to his favorite, called Muse, will look very “in”!

Literature is one fertile ground for choosing a name for a pet. Sometimes, after reading a book, you become so “infected” with it that its characters literally “come to life.” So why can’t the name of the beloved hero, who showed himself to be brave, brave, and fair, be transferred to the name of his beloved pet? Moreover, the names can be used of both literary “animals” and people. The first to come to mind, of course, are Kashtanka, Bim and Mumu. You can also call the dog Ava, this is the name of Aibolit’s helper dog.

The fabulous name Malvina is very suitable for a girl of a small breed. If you love philosophy, you might consider the option Atma, which was the name of the famous philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer's dog. Artemon, Ivanhoe, Bonaparte, Pepper, Onegin, Chapa, Kichi and many others are suitable for a boy, because everyone has their own favorite book.

Funny and funny

Small dogs seem to be specially created to be given cool and funny names. However, animal psychologists warn us: the name should be funny in moderation. Firstly, people around you will also regularly hear you addressing your dog. And who likes it when they laugh at him and his dog because the four-legged one is called, say, Sausage. In addition, by calling an animal Mischievous or Mean, you can program it, and don’t be surprised if over time that’s exactly what it becomes.

Of the funny names for little boys' doggies, we found Hobbit, Shustrik, Minik, Kutsy, Microbe, Mosquito, Pupsik, Malysh, Kinder, Cosmic, Pikolo, Funtik, moderately funny. There are lovers of sarcasm who, trying to emphasize the diminutiveness of their pet, choose deliberately “big” names for him, such as Monster, Giant, Gulliver or Tyson. In principle, such options also have a place if the owner likes it.

Little girls can be called like this: Waffle, Glamor, Thumbelina, Toffee, Moshka, Pulka, Yula, Pushinka, Doll, Drop, Flash drive, Baby, Baby. You can also consider the name Coquette, Lyalya, Bun or Chika - if you are in a very playful mood. In principle, when choosing a funny and cool dog name, try to ensure that, if necessary, it can transform into something more serious.

The nickname should be easy to remember so that the dog reacts to a simple combination of sounds. Ideally, the name would be so suitable for a small pet that when it is pronounced, an image of this particular dog would appear in the imagination.

As for the selection criteria, first of all, follow the censorship rules. It will be easy for the dog to identify with the name Max. But Maximilian Louis XI will cause confusion in the dog. Therefore, even if you put the entire pedigree in the nickname, the pet should be called a shortened version.

You can give your pet an elaborate or simple nickname, call it an unusual rare or cool name, the main thing is to take into account the dog’s character and size. Of course, the name Zorro or Pirate is not at all suitable for a small, affectionate Spitz. A cool, nimble pet of the Dachshund breed will fully live up to the nickname Figaro.

Rules for choosing a nickname for a lapdog

It is quite understandable that the owners want to give their charming little pet, who worthily represents the Maltese breed, a beautiful and memorable name. Everyone knows that if you buy a puppy with a pedigree, then your imagination will be limited by the possibility of choosing a name only for a certain letter of the alphabet.

This is due to breeding rules. Many dog ​​breeders get around this restriction by giving their lapdog a double name - one for the pedigree, and the other for direct communication with it. For the lapdog breed, nicknames are those that convey its essence, namely, that it is a charming creature.

Of course, it is difficult to imagine a dog of this breed with the names Buran or Bagheera. Beautiful foreign names in their diminutive forms are more suitable:

• Emmy,
• Becky,
• Jazzy,
• Alice,
• Pierre,
• Paul,

Also interesting are the majestic royal names, which emphasize the elite origin of this breed:

1. Antoinette,
2. Gertrude,
3. Napoleon.

Lovers of names that evoke associations with great figures of history can easily put their knowledge into practice by naming their snow-white lap dogs with such names. Less ambitious owners give their dogs names that reflect their appearance or personality:

• Baby,
• Fluff,
• Dandelion,
• doll,
• Belyanka,
• Bunny,
• Paw.

Such names emphasize the charm of small funny dogs, making them even more touching.

If you are thinking about what to name a lapdog, you can turn to mythology Ancient Greece and Egypt, since these dogs were favorites of the nobility in these civilizations. Of course, you need to choose cheerful names, therefore, despite the external euphony of the name, be sure to clarify its meaning.

This will save you from ridiculous situations when, over time, it turns out that you named your cute creature in honor of the god of the underworld. Sometimes owners, when choosing a name for a lap dog, are guided by their preferences. This is how tail-wagging Martini, Poker or Ferrari appear. All these nicknames have the right to recognition, the main thing is that you feel comfortable using them, and that it is easy for your pet to get used to them.

Choosing a suitable name for a lap dog is not a difficult process, but on the contrary, it is fascinating. If you call on your imagination to help, without forgetting common sense, you can choose a nickname for your pet that will greatly decorate it.

You need to avoid frequently repeating popular names; in a crowded place or at exhibitions it will be difficult for you to call your favorite from the crowd.

It is advisable to always take into account the size of the dog when choosing a nickname. For fun, playing on contrasts, people sometimes come up with a big and menacing name for a gentle little dog, which is more appropriate to give to shepherds, Great Danes or Dobermans. After a while, the joke gets boring, it sounds ridiculous, and it is extremely difficult to retrain the animal. A bad option is to repeat the name of the deceased dog for a new pet, by doing this you prolong the sad memories of the loss. It is better to focus on the appearance of a small puppy, its habits, reflecting in the nickname the individual features of the shaggy beauty.

A name that is difficult to pronounce sounds unusual, but in moments of danger it makes it difficult to call on a pet. If you really like a sonorous multi-component word, then try to shorten it. For example, it is better to call Maximus briefly Max or Maxik. It is wrong to come up with funny or foreign nicknames for small dogs that resemble training commands. In stressful moments, your little dog or a neighboring dog may confuse “Face” with “Farce” or “Apport” with “Chord”.
