Can anyone help me with new animal names?

Question

I want a name for a Shiba Inu and an Akita Inu. Possibly a Somali cat name, too?Oh, and if I got a beta fish as a gift for someone and it looked just like the fish down below, what should I name it?

They could be white or more like a brownish color, so any name will help. Most like they will look like the dogs below, but I don't know yet! I'm getting them both while they are puppies though. And the Somali cat is a little tiny kitten too! That it one rainbowy fish! But, it's a boy so please don't say 'Rainbow'.

Answer 3

I've had many types of pets in my life. The best advise I can give you is to hold back on naming your pets until you're familar with their personalities. We recently adopted a neighbors' abandoned cat. She is white with an orange head. I call her Lucy after Lucille Ball. We later found her original name was Sunday so now we call her Lucy Sunday and she answers to it. We have little yorkies named Buster and Floyd. We had  a Cockerspaniel named Samson and at the same time a black Shepard named Delilha.  Trixy was the name of a Great Dane we had growing up, Toto was the name of the other one and Cookie was the black spaniel mix I had as a child. Snuggles and Boots were our cats. I have friends who named their pets names like waffles for her long eared mix breed, Cinnamin for a redish coat cocker, Sophie for her yellow Lab, jewels for her shitzu , Oliver for her yorkie-shitzu mix.  The best names fit the personality of your pets, so give it a week or two, call them dog and cat in the mean time. A little patience while observing the personalities, temperments and behaviours of your pets will go a long way in bestowing names befitting them and satisfying your choice.

PS, Having had dogs my whole life I've learned thru Vets that giving them plenty of chew toys will keep them from chewing up everything from your hands to your shoes to your furniture while teething. The trick is to catch them in the act and firmly tell them NO and then give them their chew toy. They'll come to understand that only toys are OK for chewing. The same holds true for cats, although they'll add nibbling at your feet to their list of fun things to chew on. A soft blow in their face with a firm No and a regular drinking straw will go a long way till their adult teeth come in. Let the Kitten chew on the straw making sure to cut off any jagged edges and replace them as need. Don't leave them unattended for too long while they're playing with the straw. Never ever hit or yell loudly at your pets as it serves only to frighten them and is no help at all in changing undesireable behaviour. Round "jinglely" balls will keep them busy for a while as will a paper bag containing some catnip. Also don't let your kitten out alone until it has had time to mark the area. They have scent glands in their paws, chin and forehead and you'll see them rub up against things using these glands. They repeat the proccess after a rain storm and can become lost even ten feet away from their home if they haven't had the chance to leave their scent. I'm not talking about spraying. Experts advise leaving a new kitten in one room of the house for 24 hours till the cat is familar with it and then little by little introduce it to other rooms before attemping to go outside. I'm sure you've researched all this stuff but just in case you haven't had the time I strongly recommend a little research into the behaviours of both dogs and cats in general and the breeds your'e going to be caring for. The net is full of reputable information. The only beta we ever owned was named Pesce,(pronounced peshay) wich is Italion for Fish. Good Luck with your new additions . Sorry to have strayed from the original subject.
