Funny nicknames for dogs: what guides the owner when he gives a name to his pet
Everything interesting and funny happens by itself, and the jokes invented in advance on duty look flat or just stupid. A cool nickname for a strange dog can make you laugh for a second, especially if it is out of place. But it is categorically impossible to experiment with your pet like that, especially with words that the owner considers offensive about himself.

Relationships between humans and animals
The best relationships are invariant, that is, as in the Bible: do not do to others what you do not like in relation to you. This fully applies to words. A person does not even know himself well. Adult girl or young man may have some complex inferiority and not be aware of the simple reasons for its appearance.
For example, two mothers are having a calm, unpretentious everyday conversation, and in the pause that has arisen, one of them sighs heavily and says: “Yes. Children are such a hassle. Such a hassle.”
The four-year-old daughter playing nearby draws her head into her shoulders from such words. But she does not have time to ask anything, what is her name to try the jam. An easily forgotten episode the girl’s subconscious will remember well and will mark her place in this world, especially since the words belonged to her mother, her main protector. If, as an adult girl, she does not get to the bottom of the origins, then all her life she will be accompanied by a strange, even unconscious feeling of her own uselessness.
Things of this kind can suddenly pop up in the relationship between a person and a dog, if the owner, for the sake of a stupid joke, gives her an unfortunate nickname. From the dark recesses of the subconscious will be heard some subtle signals, causing doubts: something is wrong. But as a rule, a person is unable to hear and even more so to interpret his strange, incomprehensible feelings.
So it’s better not to risk your future relationship with the dog, but give it a normal nickname, which can fit any sincere feelings. You need to be a great artist in order to say with the right intonation: well done, well done Kozel, good, good Ugly and at the same time believe your own words.
Even the gender and age of the owner matters. If a the girl will name her little dog Bantik, then it will be considered quite normal. But the same nickname from a serious man will have a completely different connotation.
Clues from the dark world
The nicknames that thieves give each other are often not only very accurate, but also speak of a high artistic flair.
The old rolls, Kostyl and Ogloblya, heated up Kubyshka and Trolleybus, which means that two experienced train sharpers Khromoy and Long beat a fat and bespectacled man at cards. Indeed, if a guy’s nickname is Ogloblya, then you involuntarily imagine an absurdly long figure, and a trolleybus whose rods have flown off the wires is as helpless as a very short-sighted person without glasses.
It is not known how many of the criminals read Ilf and Petrov, but Gavril is a very figurative definition of a janitor, who in the old days was with a beard, in an apron, with a badge and with a whistle, and besides, a police informer. The criminals influenced Zhvanetsky or vice versa, but the stupid cellmate deserves the nickname Associate Professor. The nickname Nail or Robinson gets a lone thief. Soldering iron (big nose) and Shnyr (sneaky) are very artistic images that give impetus to the imagination.
So the only thing worth learning from this audience is imagery. When coming up with a nickname for a dog, it is better to follow some rules.

Dog names
You should not repeat “Bat” and call the dog by its usual human name. (The dog thinks that the name is another Emma, Schultz’s wife, and does not go). There are quite reasonable rules that limit the choice:
- nickname should be short;
- original enough that this word does not appear in normal conversation;
- should not contain a negative connotation;
- nicknames that offend other people’s feelings are unacceptable.
There can be no categorical rules governing the names of dogs, except for those necessary for the correct pedigree. If a person easily recognizes people by timbre, then the dog will all the more distinguish the voice and intonation of the owner and get used to any name. There is nothing wrong with long names like Lamborghini, they can just be uncomfortable, and Twenty-Five Rubles is ridiculous in itself. The dog most likely reacts to the first sounds in the nickname.
Evil, funny nicknames are very harmful to the psyche of the owner himself and his relationship with the dog. Derogatory nickname talks more about hidden host complexesthan about his cheerful disposition and can go sideways to him: it’s not for you to command Obama. The dog nickname Kabysdoh in the story of the same name speaks more about the atmosphere of the lower classes of society than the description itself.
Some examples of pre-revolutionary nicknames for hunting dogs

Dogs in classical literature
Whoever knows the rules of the Russian language and good manners, if not Count L. N. Tolstoy. His Bulka and Milton exist side by side and it is unlikely that the writer wanted to humiliate the English poet.
Dogs – characters of literature:
- Erza (rogue), Danilo, Rugai, Trunila (mockery) – the novel “War and Peace”;
- White Fang – Jack London;
- White-lobed, Kashtanka – A.P. Chekhov;
- Artemon – a white poodle in the “Golden Key”;
- Zhulka, Zhalka (Zhaly) – M. M. Pryshvin;
- Mumu – I. S. Turgenev.
Athanasius Fet has a palindrome (read in both directions): “And the rose fell on Azor’s paw”
But the Newfoundland Botswen (Boatswain – boatswain) the legendary dog of Byron surpassed everyone – the English poet erected a marble monument to him on his estate with a long epitaph to beauty without vanity and virtues without human vices.

There are club nicknames: Junker Tolstoy, Jazz Improvisation, Fly-Tsokotuha, Minion of Fate. How good or ridiculous they are is a matter of taste.
Some are looking for nicknames in the categories:
- spices: Saffron, Dill, Cloves;
- technical: Gadget, Device, Traffic;
- human names: Berta, Filimon, Kuzya;
- color: Ginger, Chernysh, White;
- any gag: Boo-Boo, I-I, Oh;
- names of famous people: Spartak, Chubais, Pinochet.
A good name is the right start to a normal relationship. When giving a nickname to a dog, it should be remembered that sometimes you have to say it very loud. Even euphonious names are not always successful.
When calling your dog by shouting: Gamarjoba (hello) or Batono (respected), you need to consider that Georgians may appear earlierthan a dog that has played too much, and whether this is necessary, everyone decides for himself.
