Necklace with "Roro" engraved in hot foil stamping - a finish that lasts a lifetime
I have a neighbor—the one with the gray Whippet—who chose a brilliant name: "Oslo." Two syllables, clear sound, ends in a vowel. Her dog responds instantly. It took me three months to make my Cocker Spaniel understand that his name was "Archie" because I kept changing it between "Arch," "Archie-boy," "Archibald"... In short, be consistent.
Black collar with "Ab" - a common name that does not necessarily follow the LOF rules
But wait, before you panic if you've fallen in love with "Atlas" or "Zephyr," know that there's a trick. You can register an official name starting with B (for France), like "Balto du Domaine Machin," and use a completely different name for everyday use. No one will mind if you call your dog "Rocket" even if its official name is "Brutus de la Vallée Enchantée."
Frankly, most landlords do that. Official name for paperwork, cool name for real life.
Nylon accessories with "Asir" - the gold plating works even on sports materials
Avoid names that sound like commands. "Kit" sounds like "sit," "Bo" like "no." Your dog will be confused. A friend named her dog "Sid." The result? The dog never knew if she was calling him or telling him to sit. What a nightmare.
Rule #2: Think Long Term
Yes, "Choupinou" is cute when it's a 2-month-old puppy that fits in your hand. Less so when it's a 70 kg Newfoundland pulling you down the street.
My friend has a Rottweiler. A huge one. He named him "Pompom." We laugh every time he calls him in the park. But honestly, if he likes it...
Rule No. 3: Originality, Yes, But...
Dalmatian with a red collar and gold medal - the perfect combination for a strong name
Be original, it's cool. But not to the point where no one understands what you're saying. I met a guy with an Akita Inu named "Ψυχή" (pronounced "Psuké," it means "soul" in Greek). Beautiful on paper. Impossible to manage on a daily basis.
Find the right balance between "Max" (there are 50,000 of them in France) and "Xylophene-de-Bourgogne" (nobody will remember that).
Blue necklace with "Adiu" and personalized medal - premium quality engraving
My favorite: Atlas. I've always loved that name. It sounds powerful, mythological, but it's still easy to pronounce. A Husky or a Shepherd with that name is just perfect.
Letter B: The Star of 2026 in France
Well, since it's 2026, here's an XXL list for the letter B.
For males: Balto, Bruce, Bruno, Bandit, Boss, Brutus, Björn, Bolt, Bowie, Baxter, Bear, Blake, Blue, Buddy, Banzai, Bagheera, Benji, Billy, Bingo, Bravo, Boris, Brad, Brody, Byron, Boomer, Bronx
For females: Bella, Bailey, Bonnie, Betty, Bloom, Blue, Betsy, Bambi, Belle, Brook, Bliss, Brea, Brynn, Bianca, Bijou, Bonny, Birdie, Breeze
My favorite: Balto. It's a classic, but it always works. Everyone knows the story of the heroic dog in Alaska. And it's only two syllables, easy, and sounds good. A really good dog name.
Letter C: Charm and Character
For males: Charlie, Cooper, Cash, Cody, Chester, Chase, Caesar, Cosmo, Cruz, Cain, Casper, Caleb, Cole, Curtis, Cliff, Carbon
Carbon engraving - Exceptional aesthetics & durability
For females: Cleo, Chloe, Coco, Candy, Cherry, Claire, Celeste, Chanel, Carly, Carmen, Camille, Cassie, Clara
Anecdote: My former colleague has a Cocker Spaniel named Charlie. Except she lives in a neighborhood with three other Charlies (two dogs and a cat). The result? Chaos at the park. All the dogs turned around at once. So, you should definitely consider the popularity of the name in your area.
Letter D: Dynamic and Strong
For males: Django, Duke, Diesel, Dante, Dex, Diego, Drago, Dallas, Dexter, Dean, Dash, Diablo, Drake, Duncan, Dylan

The Luna phenomenon: Seriously, there's a Luna in every park. It's pretty, it's sweet, but you'll have five dogs turning around when you call. Just so you know.

Why Hot Foil Stamping Is the Best
Hot foil stamping is a traditional goldsmithing technique. A gold leaf or gold film is applied to the leather using heat and pressure. The result? An engraving that NEVER fades.
Unlike simple printing or laser engraving that can fade, gold foil penetrates the leather. Even after years of walking, rain, and sun, the name remains vibrant.

The medals. Okay. They make a crazy noise - cling cling cling - with every step, you see? They catch everywhere, in the bushes, the park fences.
Worse than anything: they disappear. My cousin Julie—the one with the red Cocker Spaniel—has lost three in two years. Three! The ring that holds the tag to the collar wears out little by little. It bends. One day, poof. Gone. The tag is somewhere in a bush in the Parc des Lilas.
Hot stamping, on the other hand, doesn't budge. It's in the leather, engraved into it, understand? Even five years later, after rain, mud, and beach sand, the name still shines just as brightly. Total silence. Zero risk of loss. Zero hassle.
