I'm a "dog" person & I put a lot of time & energy into naming my dogs! People who hear me talk about them assume they're actual children because I give them "human" names! None of this "Rover" or "Spot" stuff for me...I give my pets first & middle names! This book was extremely diverse & comprehensive in their name sources..to the common everyone-knows-a-Max-or-Sheba names to the really unique ones! Anyone looking at getting a dog should read this..it truly has a name for every dog personality one could possibly think of! A terrific read & one I'd recommend to anyone!!!

I am enjoying this book. We raise registered goats and each goat has to be named to be registered.This book will make it much easier to name 15 baby goats at one time.Thank You.

This book is great help for thinking of really unique names for your pets. It will spark your imagination as the author, an experienced veterinarian, promises. I had been to all sorts of internet sites trying to find a good name for our new kitten. Finally I bought this book on my Kindle and it helped me come up with a couple of good name ideas, Hucklepurry being one idea (from literature section -book reminded me of Huckleberry Finn and our kitten is so purry!). Author suggests sticking with 1 or 2 syllables that your pet will recognize (so now we are thinking of what we could shorten Hucklepurry to). Even if you don't use any of the names suggested, this book will help you think of some things you never thought of before and jump start your own creativity to come up with your own original name. The book is broken down into different chapters with each chapter being a different category: appearance, personality, human names, terms of endearment. literature and art, pairs, greek & roman mythology, and many more. I loved the cute illustrations for each chapter too. I think I'll probably buy this book in book form too b/c it's so fun to read and browse through.

The only negative comment I have is with the Kindle formatting. Each chapter had a lead "intro" then next comes the list of suggested names for that category or topic. The font size on the suggested names in some of the chapters are very very ridiculously small and the font/text size adjuster on Kindle only adjusts the text of the text in the intro for each chapter, not the part that lists the suggested names. It was pretty frustrating to be straining to read the names. The name part is why I bought the book!! I finally figured out to adjust the orientation to landscape which seems to somewhat increase the names font sizes so that you don't feel like you are going to pass out, they are readable. I suppose these types of problems with Kindle formatting are to be expected while e-readers are so new. Regardless of this issue, I found the book very helpful and entertaining and I would recommend it. I don't want to scare readers away from the Kindle edition, you CAN adjust the orientation and see the names and the problem doesn't occur with all the chapters. It just took me a little time to figure out how. I think this kind of formatting issue should have been addressed when they were formatting this book into an ebook. GREAT BOOK though, really! I highly recommend it.

I knew I would love this book from the second I saw the content pages. Every type of name imaginable lies within these chapters. It will come in quite handy when naming all of the animals on our 33 acre farm for years to come!

I loved this book when I was naming our first dog! This was how I found a name for him, then each dog we got after that we used it again! I love how the categories are broken down for you. A nice thing to have when looking for the perfect name for your companion

This book was actually purchased by me as one of the Christmas gifts to my two little granddaughters. They manage to bring home yet another stuffed animal everytime we go out shopping. They are continually asking me, "what can we name him/her?" So, I decided this book help us both. N. Burnette

I don't think this book contained enough names. The names listed were taken from film and TV personalities, historical figures, cartoon characters, etc. This book lacked original names.
