Cool Hinting Dog Names- Check Our Unique list for you.
Okay, so I've been messing around with this whole "hinting" thing for dog names. It's kinda fun, and I figured I'd jot down what I did, 'cause why not?
Brainstorming Like Crazy
First, I just grabbed a piece of paper and started writing down anything that popped into my head. Words, ideas, themes, whatever. I wasn't even thinking about dog names specifically, just letting my brain do its thing.
- Colors: Silver, Blue and etc.
- Nature stuff: River,Sky,Forest, etc
- Random words that sounded cool: Echo, Ghost, etc
Getting More Specific
After the initial brain dump, I started focusing on stuff that actually related to dogs. Think about breeds, characteristics, or even just things you like to do with your pup.
I thought about different dog breeds. Like, a fluffy white dog could have a name hinting at clouds or snow. A fast dog could have a name related to speed or wind. I am raising a Samoyed, I must think about the name related to white color or snow.
Playing with Sounds and Words
This is where it got interesting. I took some of the words from my lists and started messing with them. Combining them, changing them slightly, seeing what sounded good.
Making It a "Hint"
The whole point is to hint at the name, not just say it outright,I tried to make the hints a little bit clever or indirect.
I finally made the name, I called it "Winter".
So yeah, that's basically what I did. It's not rocket science, just a bit of creative messing around. The best part of it, I think, is sharing the "hint" with you guys. I love to share what I tried and how I did.
