Any day now, there’s likely to be a new puppy in the White House, and everyone in America will know his/her name. Interest in the selection and naming of the first dog rivals the appointment of cabinet member – minus the Congressional approval.

So choosing a name for the First Dog should not be taken lightly, says Strategic Name Development, a national firm responsible for names such as Wendy’s Baconator™ and Bayer’s pet-tracking chip, ResQ®.

The company advises the Obamas to pick a name that is:

* Easy to pronounce – and easy to spell. Lincoln’s dog was named Jip, which was often spelled Gyp.
* Has no more than two syllables – the longer the name, the harder to train.
* Avoids the obvious – Max, Sam, Lady, Bear, Buddy, Smokey, Shadow.
* Avoids foreign sounding names like Manchu (Theodore Roosevelt) Caruso (Taft) and Pushinka (Kennedy).
* End with a vowel sound – Pet names ending in vowels like Fido (Lincoln) and Barney (Bush 43) are significantly easier for your pets to hear.

One thing’s for sure, as BennyBix Ochman Labradoodle Puppy demonstrates here, if the Obamas get a Labradoodle, no matter what they call him/her, it’s gonna exuberantly love them.
