In my experience, I've found that bisyllabic pet names roll off the tongue the best. Monosyllabic names are cute (also look better on tags), but when calling aloud, one would have to do a sing-songy extension midway through or add an "-ie" sound at the end. With that said, pet pet names, however, should be as redonk as humanly possible.
Here are a few of Bel·la's:
- Professor Lazybones
- Renee Tailwagger
- Sir Lix-a-Lot
- Littlest one
- Bellavator
- Bellanator
- Umbrella
- Cowbell
- Doggin
- Furball
- Kitten
- Belly
- Bells

Word to the wise: Before naming any pet "Penny", be aware that you will have to endure:
ReplyDeleteA. Answering the question, "Ohh, after the Beatles song? Or 'Almost Famous'?" a million times, and

Tell us about that old photo... Where did you find it? Did you art it up? With a partner, I started a business for dog lovers -- Barkology. It all started with an old photo of a pit bull. http://www.barkology.com/our_story-dapper_pit_bull.html. I left Barkology years ago, but the business is still going strong and has great products.
ReplyDeletefound it on tumblr! updated with cred. i love that pitbull photo, barkology looks really cool.
