New: Pet Names 🐶🐱🐰🐹🦎
Dog names; cat names; iguana, parakeet, and chinchilla names
We can help you name your baby. We can help you rename yourself. And now, we can finally help you name your pet.
We’ve officially launched the Pet Names side of Nameberry, featuring lists of names for dogs, cats, goldfish (and more!), articles about pet names, and even pet name consulting.
I don’t have any pets of my own, but my friends are adopting and fostering animals left and right:
If you’re welcoming a pet into your home — be it a dog, cat, python, or walrus (😳) — our new page on Pet Names will help you find that unique name you’re looking for.
How to Choose a Grandparent Name You Love
Did your parents choose their own grandparent names? It’s an opportunity for identity expression, whether you feel more like a traditional Nana or Grandpa or one-of-a-kind Spicy or Grandude!
My parents don’t have grandchildren yet, but my mom has already decided that she’ll be Jen Jen, while my dad’s current top choice is Coach (I’m not sold on that one).
But, of course, grandparent names can evolve greatly once Baby comes into the picture. I dubbed my mom’s dad Paca when I couldn’t say “Grandpa Wiener.”
The Berries recently shared their grandparent name stories, providing tons of inspiration and guidance on choosing a grandparent name of your own! 👵🏼 👴🏾
Badass Girl Names
They’ve got attitude. They’ve got sass. These are badass girl names — for the coolest, raddest, sauciest girls around.
If that sounds like your baby (or who you imagine her to be), our brand new list can help you pick a name to match.
Luna and Lola or Savita and Salome?
