Pull out your pen and paper, and remember to jot down any name references and meanings.

Cowboy Bebop Inspired Dog Name Considerations

When you name a dog, what goes through your mind? Are most of those thoughts about yourself? There's your problem. Although you are important, and your preferences matter, a dog's name should be more about the dog, not you. For instance, naming a dog Spike after the character in Cowboy Bebop is a great option, but if your dog has nothing to do with Spike, doesn't act like Spike, and certainly doesn't look like a Spike, then... it doesn't make much sense. It's just what you chose because Spike is basically everyone's favorite character from the series.

Instead, focus on getting to know your dog first. Is the dog big? What's the size, breed, gender, and personality? What toys does your dog prefer? Does your dog have quirky behavior you've never seen another dog do? Good names celebrate a dog's originality. Names that make sense and reflect the dog's identity. And if they're recognizable names, like Cowboy Bebop names tend to be, then it makes for an easy reference for curious outsiders. Naming a dog Ein would let people know that your dog is friendly and smart, and probably serves as your needy, clingy sidekick. So remember, pay attention to who your dog is first. Then decide on a name.
