How do I find ideas for nicknames in Japanese?
Suitable Japanese dog names can be found among place names for both boys and girls: Shinano, Ishikari, Biwa, Handa, Komaki, Akita, Yatomi, Narita, Katori, etc. Look closely at the names of national Japanese dishes (Ramen, Sushi, Tonkatsu, Yakitori, Gyudon, Oden), holidays (Setsubun, Tanabata), names from mythology (Jimmu, Amida).
You can find the name using a translator. Translate your pet's characteristic (fast, happy, white, spotted) into Japanese and listen to the sound. Long words can be shortened or a diminutive for this name. We also recommend that you remember the names of your favorite characters from Japanese films, cartoons, books and anime. The names of historical figures, writers, directors can also be a suitable Japanese nickname for a dog.
Observe the behavior of the puppy and think about what you associate with him, take a closer look at his habits – so you can find the perfect name!
