  9. Don’t give a name based on negative personality traits.
  10. Don’t make it something embarrassing to have to yell out.
  11. The dog’s name should be used as soon as possible.
  12. Avoid changing an adult dog’s name if the dog knows it already. If you must change the name, choose one that sounds similar.
