General information only

This site provides name ideas and general guidance about naming pets. It is not veterinary, behavioural or training advice.

For health and behaviour, ask a professional

If your pet has a health or behaviour problem, speak to a vet or a qualified behaviourist. Nothing here replaces that.

Name meanings

Meanings are given as commonly understood. Many names carry different meanings across languages and cultures, and we give the one most widely recognised rather than an exhaustive account.

Cultural names

Some names come from specific cultures and languages. We include them respectfully and with their meaning, and we would encourage you to read a little about a name before choosing it.
