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.
Mer-ce-des 3
Go-mer 2
Kia's name has two syllables.
Kia = Key uh
She came with the name and responds to it well. :)
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 :)
Beanie has 2. (Bean-ee)
We always pick names that are one syllable so it's easy to say.
Duke-1
Max-1
Those are all 2 syllables:pQuote:

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.
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
thank you :) sorry for not getting them right :o still tired..:pQuote:
Those are all 2 syllables
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.
Chloe - 2
Venus - 2
Sahara - 3 (more syllables for a BIG dog ;) )
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.
3 in tikeyas name
two is oscars
two in babys :D
Bitsy- 2
Charlie- 2
Buster- 2
Nacey- 2
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.

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