Choosing a Great Name For Your Husky
The best way to name your Siberian husky is to go with something short, snappy, easy to say, you like (of course) and has meaning.
You may already have a preference that you can build on by using the name guide below.
If you are unsure, try waiting until you have had your new husky for a week or two, you’ll be surprised how quickly you can get a feel for the type of dog they will be when older.
Using personality and character is a common way to pick a great name.
Once you find a name that you like, keep saying it throughout the day to get a sense of how it sounds and feels to say. You need to verbalize it!
You’ll also want to think about how easy and quick it is to say. Shorter names are easier to say and usually more practical.
