Naming

Naming a Doggie
Doggie Naming is a process that takes place after the birth of a Doggie. Doggie names are not like human names. Only 6 Doggies in all of Doggietopia history have been able to escape being named traditionally. Those six Doggies are the stars of The Doggie Six.

First Names
Once a Doggie is born, the parents have a week to decide on a first name. Doggie names are decided with a free app (only available in Doggietopia) called Namer. The app mixes together two words of the parents' choice to make a pronounceable name that is 3 to 7 letters long, e.g Cloud and Jelly could be Cley. If they don't like the name the app has chosen they can try new words.

When they have decided, they report to the local Naming Centre to officially name their Doggie. If they can't choose a name before the deadline the Centre will randomly select one.

Surnames
A Doggie's surname is its breed name. If a Doggie has two or more words in its breed name, then they just go for the last one. (exceptions are breeds with 'Retriever' in the name. They go for the first word instead.) Shetland Sheepdogs have 'Sheltie' for their surname.
