Whether you are a great fan of books or not, you have to admit that literature can be your best muse to find an ideal name for the newcomer home. If you have just welcomed a pet and you have to choose its name, pay attention to the following ideas taken from novels: 10 dog names inspired by literary characters.
Original names for pets
- Romeo / Juliet. If you would like to live a romance like Romeo and Juliet (with a less tragic ending), you can choose these names for your pet taking into account if she is male or female.
- Harry Potter fans who are also crazy about dogs have a moral obligation to give their pet a name related to the most magical saga.
- What better book to pay tribute than ‘Don Quixote de La Mancha’? This name is ideal for chubby dogs, but they are very loyal.
- If your dog is the most curious, it will give him a name like Sherlock in honor of the character created by the Scotsman Arthur Conan Doyle.
- This is an ideal name for your dog (or Daisy, in the case that it is female) if you want to pay a little tribute to the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald.
- If your dog is the most curious in the park and is always in trouble because of her antics, Alicia is a very suitable name for her.
- Little Prince. If you are one of those people who consider their pet their prince or princess, this name will suit you like a glove. Antoine de Saint Exupéry created this great novel in the early 1940s.
- This name is perfect for smaller dogs. The character from JRR Tolkien’s ‘The Lord of the Rings’ may inspire you to choose a name for your pet.
- Frank from Frankenstein. Mary Shelley’s monster can inspire you to choose what you should call your dog. He is ideal for larger pets.
- If your dog has a sad face and she always wants more, Emma may suit her. She is the name of the main character in Flaubert’s ‘Madame Bovary’.
