How many syllables are in your dogs name?

[lv4dogs]

Just wondering how many syllables your dogs name has?
Also do you call them by that name most of the time or use a nickname?
If you do call them by that name how well do they listen to it (especially if it is 3 or more ayllables)

They say 2 syllable names are usually the best, but I have found a couple single syllable & 3 syllable names that I like a lot.

Lolly is 2 syllables, but Reece is one. I usually call him Reecie though which is 2. Most of their nicknames have 2-4 syllables and they respond just as well to each of them.

[Jods]

Mer-ce-des 3
Go-mer 2

[ramanth]

Kia's name has two syllables.

Kia = Key uh

She came with the name and responds to it well. :)

[cali]

Happy-2 but I normally call her "happer snapper" (dont ask lol) and she responds perfectly.

Misty-2 although I call her "Mister" most of the time or "Mister Misty" she responds equally well to all of them.

Ripley-2

Perky-2

Blair-1

Je-nn-y(2) Gin-g-er(3) Roc-ky(2) Bus-t-er(3) I might be wrong on some of them :o I am not quite awake yet:p interesting question though :)

[lute]

Beanie has 2. (Bean-ee)

[joanofark]

We always pick names that are one syllable so it's easy to say.

Duke-1

Max-1


Je-nn-y(2) Gin-g-er(3) Roc-ky(2) Bus-t-er(3)

Those are all 2 syllables:p

[Samantha Puppy]

Samantha - 3 syllables

Her most used nicknames are: Sam - 1, Sam Sam - 2, Mantha - 2, Baby Girl - 3, Nerd - 1. She responds to all of them well, but responds very well and "Mantha" - if you say that one, she will stop whatever she's doing, look at you and cock her head to the side, trying to understand you.

[PJ's Mom]

Peej's real name is PJ which has two letters, therefore 2 syllables. :p We rarely call him PJ anymore though. He answers to both.

Bailey's name has 2 syllables and she doesn't have any nicknames unless she rolls on something dead. In which case I can't write her nickname here since this is a family site. :D

[luvofallhorses]

Those are all 2 syllables

thank you :) sorry for not getting them right :o still tired..:p

Snowy (2)
I've always had dogs with 2-syllable names and call them by their names, but I must agree that 1-syllable names/nicknames are probably easier or better when calling a dog or give command.

[shutterbug0303]

Chloe - 2
Venus - 2

Sahara - 3 (more syllables for a BIG dog ;) )

[lovemyshiba]

Mine are all 2 syallable names, two with "y" at the end, one "a" and one "o". The "o" doesn't listen, but it doesn't have anything to do with his name:rolleyes:

All 4 of mine have nicknames too, each of them listens to at least one of their nicknames--for example, Abbey listens when we call her "Crabby", but it does rhyme.

[tikeyas_mom]

3 in tikeyas name
two is oscars
two in babys :D

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Bitsy- 2
Charlie- 2
Buster- 2
Nacey- 2

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

All fo mine have 2:)

I don't know, would you consider Autumn one or two? Pepper is two but MissPepperK'mere is five. Sonny is two. Mokuzai is three, and Depot is two. I usually call everybody by their name except Autumn. I don't think I've used her actual name in years.

2;)

Lex-ie! 2:D But you spell it Lexi, obviousley!

[ParNone]

Official Names, which I never call any of them:

McMurphy - 3
Whizzer of Oz - 4
Gulliver - 3

Name I use when giving a command (notice all 1 syllable and they all sound different):

Murph - 1
Oz - 1
Gull - 1

When I'm trying to get'em excited or praisin'em I usually use a nickname that's 2 syllables and ends with something I can draw out:

MooBoooooooo
Oz-eeerrrrrrrrrr
Gull-eeerrrrrrrrr
Gull-eeeeeeeee

Then there's a huge list of nicknames with varying syllables that I use just in everyday conversation with them. Too many to list.
