Every pooch has a unique personality, so when you’re coming up with puppy names, you should pick something special. After all, your new furry friend is an important part of your family. “We call this phenomenon anthropomorphism, where we give human characteristics to pets,” says Frank Nuessel, Ph.D., a linguistics professor at the University of Louisville and editor of NAMES: A Journal of Onomastics. “So that’s part of how dogs gain human-given names.” Ah, but when’s the last time you met a human named “Bacon?” These days, some of the trendiest names for dogs have to do with food, which makes sense to Nuessel. “It’s possible we associate food with dogs more than cats, because they’re always begging for food—going up to the table to look for it and waiting around for leftovers,” he says.
