Shakespeare famously wrote in Romeo and Juliet, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” When you choose to bring a dog into your life, sometimes they already have a name and some new owners choose to change that name, too.
In my massage practice, I have found that the dog’s name often matches his/her character. Havoc by name, Havoc by nature – for example!
Website Rover.com has published its survey on the top dog names for 2017. There are clear trends showing the influence of media and movies: Star Wars, Wonder Woman, and Game of Thrones inspired names are featured.
So too are the names of influential and powerful women (yeah!)
