Cavapoos are a cross breed between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle, and like all doodle breeds, these dogs are fast becoming popular. Therefore if you want to find a name for your dog that is sweet or unique and that will suit their personality perfectly, you have come to the right place.
If you’re struggling to decide what to call your pup, then check out our list of best names for a Cavapoo dog. Whether you like weird or wonderful, cute or quirky, we debate the most popular and individual dog names that could be perfect for your pooch.
When it comes to monikers, we found finding the right name for our Cavapoo as difficult and as stressful as naming our own kids. So, if you are struggling to decide what to call your dog, then check out all of our lists of Cavapoo names for some much needed inspiration!
Things to consider when naming your Cavapoo
When compiling your list of favorite dog names, there are some key things to consider:
- Sex of the dog. Lots of dogs have ‘human’ names, so if you are interested in welcoming a ‘bob’, ‘bertie’ or ‘ben’ into your family, then it is a good idea to check that you are getting a male Cavapoo rather than a female beforehand. This could save a lot of embarrassment at the park when ‘bob’ decides to squat rather than cock her leg!
- Length of name. It’s all very well giving your puppy a very grand triple-barrelled name, but it is only going to make training difficult for your dog. A simple sounding name is easier for your Cavapoo to understand and should make shouting it out loud, quicker and easier to pronounce.
- Change of the times. A lot of ownersget inspired by popular culture, whether that is TV characters, celebrities or the Royal family, but remember that tastes change over the years and you don’t want to be left with an ‘off the wall’ dog name.
- Dog Colour. Ideally you want to name your dog once you have seen it, as there is nothing worse than being set on a name such as Ginger, only to end up with a black dog.
Most popular dog names
Did you know that dogs struggle to distinguish between consonants and long vowels, which is why names like “Bella” or “Benji” are easier for them to recognize than other words? They are also easier to pronounce as they roll off the tongue, which is probably why they are so popular.
And although dog name trends tend to rise and fall each year, there are some stable classics that seem to stand the test of time. If you are interested to know which dog names remain firm favorites year after year, then take a look at the list below:
