The best thing to keep in mind when choosing a dog name is size. It may sound funny to use a full name and surname for your dog, but they won’t understand it.
A name that is on the simpler side will make it much easier for your dog to understand it. Usually, good names for dachshunds, or any dog, are ones that start with consonants and end with vowels.
The dachshund breed has its origins in Germany, where it was bred as a badger hunter. The name “dachshund” in german stems from the words for dog and badger, effectively making it “badger dog”

Names mean so much to us, and even if our dogs don’t relate the same, it brings us closer. The way in which we call their name can still result in positive reactions from our pets.
