How to find ideas for nicknames in Japanese?
Suitable Japanese dog names can be found among the place names for both boys and girls: Shinano, Ishikari, Biwa, Handa, Komaki, Akita, Yatomi, Narita, Katori, etc. Take a look at the names of national Japanese dishes (Ramen, Sushi, Tonkatsu, Yakitori, Gyudon, Oden), holidays (Setsubun, Tanabata), names from mythology (Jimmu, Amida).
You can find the name using a translator. Translate your pet’s characteristic (fast, joyful, white, spotted) into Japanese and listen to the sound. Long words can be abbreviated or come up with a diminutive abbreviation of this name. We also advise you to remember the names of your favorite characters from Japanese films, cartoons, books and anime. The names of historical figures, writers, directors can also become a suitable Japanese nickname for a dog.
Watch the puppy’s habits and think about what you associate him with, take a closer look at his habits – so you can choose the perfect name!
