How to choose a great pet name

  1. 1

    Lean into the animal's traits — a slow tortoise or a chatty bird invites a fitting joke.

  2. 2

    For pets that respond to names, keep them short and distinct.

  3. 3

    Consider a name that suits the pet's likely lifespan — some companions are with you for decades.

Frequently asked questions

What are good names for small pets?
Cute, food-inspired and pun-based names are favourites — Peanut, Mochi, Sir Hops-a-Lot. Match the animal's vibe.
Do birds and rabbits learn their names?
Many birds do, and rabbits can learn to respond to a consistent name and tone.
How do I name a fish or reptile?
Since they won't come when called, have fun — clever, ironic and grand names ('Admiral', 'Tiny') are all fair game.
