Bringing home a new Pomeranian puppy is exciting, and choosing the perfect name is one of the most fun parts. Poms are tiny, fluffy and full of personality, so their names can be cute, funny, elegant or inspired by that famous teddy-bear look. Here are more than 100 Pomeranian name ideas to help you find the one that fits your new best friend.
Tips for choosing a Pomeranian name
- Keep it short. One or two syllables are easiest for your dog to recognize, like Teddy, Bella or Max.
- Avoid names that sound like commands. "Kit" sounds like "sit" and "Bo" sounds like "no", which can confuse your dog during training.
- Think about personality. Watch your puppy for a few days. Is it bold, cuddly, cheeky or calm?
- Say it out loud. You will call this name thousands of times, at home and in the park.
