25+ Pet Owners Who Had to Go on a Quest to Find a Name for Their Fluffy Friends
If a new fluffy pet appears in our family, one of the first things we need to do is to find a name for them. Everyone does this differently — some look at the appearance of the animal, trying to find distinguishing features, while others assess the animal’s behavior and habits. Eventually, it might require quite a bit of time to find the right name for a pet.
We at Bright Side took a walk across the vast universe of the Internet to understand how different people recommend naming their pets.

“I’ve had this very good boy for almost a month, and still no name! He’s 8 months old and super chill.”
- I adopted a dog who wouldn’t respond to the names I gave him. My uncle tried an experiment: he sat behind him while the dog was looking the other way (at me) and started reading from a list of popular dog names. 11 or so down on the list was the name, Rocky. When my uncle said it, my dog whipped around and looked at my uncle, like “yes!” And from then on, that was his name, and he came to us every time I called it. © G***l-Ocelot-8281 / Reddit
“My parents decided to adopt a family member today! Any name suggestions?”

When My last dog Samba died I felt I lost my soulmate as he meant the world to me. I was utterly heartbroken. Trolling through Facebook, I found a local dog rescue site that was looking for homes for four Border Collie puppies and their mother. As our last dog was a Border Collie I really wanted another one so we went and looked at the puppies and we adopted a really beautiful one and we just bonded with him and he with us straight away. I named him SHILO without the H at the end after the Neil Diamond song. I was still missing Samba and in the song Shilo, Neil sings about his imaginary friend, Shilo. The words made me feel like although I was still missing Samba, little Shilo would help me through the loss and pain, which he did.
"Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come,
Shilo, you always came
And we'd play ...".
The weird thing is I never was a great fan of Facebook. What possessed me to go onto it and find that page where I found Shilo was either sheer luck or fate, or maybe Samba giving me a guiding paw to help me find a new best friend. It would have been the kind of thing he would have done as he was always there to look after me in his beautiful and unique way during his life.
Shilo is nearly 8 years old now and he is the light of my life and I love him more than anything. He makes me laugh everyday and fills my life with love. I feel so lucky everyday that I found him. He really is the best boy. ☺ ♥
