Naming of pets

Pet names often reflect the owner's view of the animal, and the expectations and feelings they have for their animal.

Some pet owners give human names to their dogs and cats. Maybe because the owner having a human-like relationship with the animal. Making it easier to see the dog or cat as an almost human companion, you can talk to and chat with.

In some cultures, such as the Chinese, it is considered offensive and disrespectful to persons to give animals human names. In Japan, dogs are often given non-Japanese first names, such as "John" or "Charley".

Ingredients in cool pet names

Cool pet names can be generated in many ways. You can use adjectives with sweet and cute meanings. Combine these adjectives with diminished human names to create the perfect cute or cool pet name. Some times it's not the word itself that makes the good pet name, but rather the combination of words creating a good rhythm to the name.

Also remember that a good name for a dog should be easy to yell, when you want to call your dog back to you.

Pet name generation

The pet name generator uses the above method to make cool pet names. But also uses word suffixes and diminutive word forms in the process of generating.

This is an animal pet name generator. It makes:

• Pet names for dogs and puppies.
• For rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and other small rodents.
• Pet names for cats and kittens.
• And also pet names for birds, spiders, snakes, turtles.

It even will make pet names for your fish, if you really insists. ;)

Cute pet names? Funny pet names?

I try to make huge variation in the generators result. That means that sometimes the result is funny pet names, and sometimes it is cute pet names. And under the influence of pure randomness sometimes the results end up being rather silly or even absurd.

Variation is important, when you try to target large groups of animals and also many peoples personal preferences. So if you are looking for a funny pet name and get a cute one. No big deal, just hit the generate button once again. ;)

It's just a computer program, not an oracle

Remember that the online pet name generator is just a small computer program. It can't compete with the human mind in making good names.

First of all it doesn't know what kind of animal you own. And it doesn't know the appearance of personality of your dog or cat. Therefore the generator inevitable will make bad pet name ideas or even inappropriate suggestions. Luckily the generator is very easy to use. Just hit the button and make another name, and another one... and another one. Each is generated in a split second.

Also remember that this program is just for fun and inspiration. If you have a good time using the online pet name generator and get some new cool ideas for pet names my mission is accomplished. Hopefully you'll also get some good ideas for continuing the work yourself.

My top priority is usability and the main target is to keep my generators very easy to use for everybody. Using them shall be fun and a good experience.

The interface is easy to overview. The important elements, the generate button and the generated name, are centrally placed and over sized.

Generated petnames are saved to a list, so the users easily can get a full overview of all of them.

Programming of the online generators

Like all of my online generators also this one is programmed in JavaScript.

JavaScript is a scripting language run locally in the browser on your PC. It makes name generation extremely fast and very stable. Running the web application locally prevents long and annoying peperiodsf waiting.
